The 1923-24 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 23rd season (twentieth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 22-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing fourth. Major Frank Buckley became the club's new manager prior to the start of the season, succeeding Bill Norman. The team first began wearing tangerine for this season, after a recommendation from referee Albert Hargreaves, who officiated a Holland-Belgium international match and was impressed by the Dutchmen's colours.〔Calley, Roy (1992). ''Blackpool: A Complete Record 1887-1992'', p. 18〕 Harry Bedford was the club's top scorer for the third consecutive season, with 33 goals in all competitions (32 in the league and one in the FA Cup). Bert Tulloch retired this season, after ten years of service for Blackpool, his only professional club. ==Season synopsis== Draws were the common theme for the first month of Blackpool's League campaign, with five of them occurring in the first six games. They remained without a win until 29 September, a 2-0 scoreline at Crystal Palace. October brought two wins, one draw and one defeat, and this inconsistency continued until March. A 2–1 home victory over Brighton on 1 March started a run of four successive wins, which included nine goals by Jimmy Hampson, and they remained undefeated until 21 April. A final-day win over Clapton Orient at Bloomfield Road secured fourth spot from Southampton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1923–24 Blackpool F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
