In the [[FA Cup]] Final against [[Bolton Wanderers]] in [[1953]], Blackpool was down 3-1 when their player [[Stanley Matthews]] did three set-ups in the last 20 minutes, which allowed his team to score. [[Bill Perry]] scored the final goal of the match and Blackpool won 4-3. [[John Ellis]] charged his son [[Alan Ellis]]' friends a [[shilling]] each to watch the match on his new [[television]]. Alan enjoyed the match a great deal, punching the air when Perry scored the winning goal. He joked that Perry had wings on his feet, which was why he was called a winger. | |||
On [[18 December]] of that year, John, [[Diane Holmes]] and [[Emma-Louise Cowell]] were on their way to [[Dublin]] in Diane's plane, the ''[[Sky Gypsy]]'', when it flew through the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|Cardiff Rift]] and ended up in [[Cardiff]] in [[2007]]. John discovered that his son Alan was now 70 years old and suffered from [[Alzheimer's disease]]. When John discussed the match with him, Alan recalled that Blackpool had won but he failed to recognise his father. ([[TV]]: ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'') | |||
