OTD: April 29

Remembering past matches played by the Iron on April 29...

Former and current Iron players born on this day: Doug O’Connor (1954), Liam Thompson (2002).

Billy Sharp snatched a last-gasp winner against Blackpool to secure Scunthorpe a well-deserved win at home On This Day in 2006. 

Sharp touched home substitute Steve Torpey's cross after a dominant second-half performance from the hosts.

Visiting goalkeeper Lee Jones pulled off two brilliant saves to deny Cliff Byrne and Andy Keogh while Sharp should have done better with an early header.

Tommy Evans was never troubled with Blackpool's only efforts coming from Rory Prendergast and Keigan Parker.

Overall playing record for April 29: Played 8, Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 4, Scored 7, Conceded 9.
