Blackpool F.C. season 1952–53
- Blackpool F.C. season 1952–53
The 1952-53 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 46th season (43rd consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 22-team Division One, then the top tier of English football, finishing seventh.
They were also the winners of the FA Cup for the only time in their existence thus far, beating Bolton Wanderers 4–3 in the final. Subsequently known as "The Matthews Final", Stan Mortensen, Blackpool's top scorer in all competitions that season, scored a hat-trick in the match. It remained the only such feat achieved in an FA Cup Final held at the original Wembley Stadium.
Stan Mortensen was the club's top scorer for the ninth consecutive season, with eighteen goals in all competitions. He shared the accolade in the league with Allan Brown. The two scored fifteen goals apiece.
