1905–06 Blackpool F.C. season


The 1905–06 season was Blackpool F.C.'s ninth season in the Football League. They competed in the twenty-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing fourteenth.
The club's league top-scorer accolade was a three-way tie between new signings Jimmy Connor, Harry Hancock and E. Francis, with six apiece. Hancock became the outright top scorer after his three goals during Blackpool's FA Cup run.
Charles Ramsden became Blackpool's chairman during the close season.

Season synopsis

After an opening-day victory at home to Burton Albion, Blackpool mustered only three more wins before the end of the year.
1906 proved slightly more fruitful, with full points achieved over Gainsborough, Glossop, Grimsby Town, Lincoln City, Burslem Port Vale and — to close the season out — at Clapton Orient, which ultimately lifted them five places to 14th.
In the FA Cup, it took three attempts to beat Crystal Palace in the First Round. After overcoming Sheffield United in the next round, they were knocked out with a 5–0 defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park.
