Fucking brilliant! 

Hark now hear the burnden sing!

what a place that was!

felt like a family death when the old place was demolished 

these videos just bring back the memories

what I would do to stand on the burnden terrace again

to walk down the back of the lever end

To queue at the ticket office

to nip into the club shop for a metal badge 

to see Dave higson interviewing florence Brandwood outside the ground

To sing land of hope and glory, home of Bolton fc

80 per cent of the songs from those days have been lost. Yet we still get the vacuous 'White army'....

What was it that was shouted after "Bolton FC"?

I never could tell and never bothered to ask

That's the one Micky.

That Cardiff game. Was hoping it would come up. I know I missed one goal whilst nipping off for a wazz.

It was one of only a few times I sat in the lever end. Will have been one of those leaping up and down in the shade of the roof.

"Not Leeds", IIRC

Think you're getting two songs with the same tune mixed up.

That one was along the lines of

We hate Nottingham Forest

We hate Liverpool too (and Leeds)

We hate Man United

But Bolton we love you.

We hate Liverpool too (and West Ham!) wasn't it?

Home of Bolton FC, (not Leeds)*

We will follow the Wanderers, on to victory.

 

*It always baffled me why a few shouted "Not Leeds", but it caught on.

 

that;'s what I suspected, baffled me also, but that's what it sounded like so went along with it sort of half heartedly

I'm on a roll with 5-0 home wins. Yesterday Cardiff, today Carlisle. The Fourth Division season! A comprehensive win in which Nicky Brookman stars, there's a hopeless own-goal and Carlisle and up with an outfield player in goal, long before sub goalies were allowed. At the time it was a much needed win because we were slipping much nearer mid-table than the top end of the league. New signing Peter Barnes gets injured seconds into the game.

Fantastic commentary for the own goal!😀 

Also nice to see a bit of football. Midfielders moving, full backs overlapping, crosses and goals.

He gets so carried away does old Dave. Every goal "absolutely brilliant" or "justice". Brilliant.

The relegation season to Div 4 - 1986/7 - was pretty grim throughout, with the exception of a short run of results in late November/early December. During that run we beat York 3-1 at home thanks to a good goal by Asa Hartford and two poacher's goals by Tony Caldwell. Marco Gabbiadini - later to become infamous among Bolton fans for his crude challenge as a Derby player on Simon Coleman - wins and converts the York penalty.

Great video again Paul.

Ive got the York away video in may when we got beat. Bits of that on you tube. 

Yeah I've got that too. All the trouble seems to be at half time between the Bolton fans and the Old Bill. And all the goals in the last 20-25 mins. Was a real nail in the coffin as York were struggling with us.

Love watching these. Cheers.

You always knew if the ref had given a debatable decision against us - Dave would give out their full name and address! 

No worries and there'll be more to come. I just wish I had some from the early 80s as well.
