Donald Fart. Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Hi, can any of the older generation on here remember a game from the very late 60s or more probably the very early 70s. The following is what I think I remember, it was bolton v rammy, probably fa cup, a teacher from turton high (I was there at the time) played for rammy, in goal I think. His name might have been woods. Bolton won 4-1. I was telling all this to my brother the other day and he seemed very sceptical. Rammy came up in conversation as Sam Ashton it related to my missus and they had just done Weymouth away. Thanks Pc Edited January 20, 2019 by Donald Fart.

bolton va va Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It sounds like Rossendale Utd v Bolton in the FA Cup, played at Gigg Lane. Bolton won 4-1. There were loads there from Bolton & when Rossendale scored first, most of their " supporters " ,Bury, Burnley, Mancs etc got chased out of the ground.

Take Hunt Off Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Rossendale scored first I think the scorer was called Glen Barker later played for Horwich RMI ?? Roy Greaves got a couple for us plus Chris Duffy in a rare appearance.Tuther one could have been JB not sure. Thinking about it I think Barker was given a trial with us at some point so maybe not the scorer that day!

You could walk fro end to end at bury . We stood at the opposite end to the cemetery end and greavo banged a couple of his hatrick in our net . It was a quick hatrck, scoring his first just b4 half time I think. The teacher from turton was our Art teacher . He played centre half marking Roy Greaves. He wasn't at Turton long , he married another art teacher there . Cannot remember his name though. I remember him covering for an absent music teacher , he brought his guitar into lesson and sang a few songs to us ... best music lesson ever , all we previously did was listen to Mozart on a record player ...seriously that's all we ever did in music .

Members bolty58 Posted January 22, 2019 Members Share Posted January 22, 2019 Especially memorable for me as I was serving my apprenticeship in Bury at the time. The locals (bucket shakers, reds and blues) were all backing Rossendale so I really enjoyed the following Monday back at work which was highly unusual for me on a Monday. Usually hung over from the previous nights Soul extravaganza at the Palais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't football always be like that? 12000 on according to Wikipedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
