The Seasiders is a DVD documenting historical matches of Blackpool Football Club, whose nickname gave the release its name. The most notable inclusions are highlights from the famous 1953 FA Cup Final (subsequently dubbed "The Matthews Final"), their Anglo-Italian Cup Final victory in 1971, and their two successive visits to Wembley in 1991 and 1992. The compilation, released in 2005, was put together privately by a group of Blackpool F.C. supporters. To date, two discs have been released; a further two are in the works.

There weren't many people like him."
