I was there with my grandad. He’d seen the lot.
 

Was at Wembley 23, 26, 29, 53 and 58 at the disaster in 46 and he’s stood there arms spread wide screaming ‘goooallll’ like a mad Italian commentator. 
 

One of my best memories of the Wanderers. 

Old bloke who sits behind me in  east stand lower from little hulton still a season ticket holder today went to the 53 and 58 finals can’t remember exactly is age but is season ticket is now free from bwfc . Last season just knocked the night games on the head to cold for him but there every home Saturday game

Get on it

Bbc2 used to show highlights from a london game about 7pm on saturday

The chelsea 4 3 was on and this qpr game

I switched over thinking we could be on, just as it was going off

I'm pretty sure I did exactly the same and didn't get a reply

Fingers crossed

BBC might still have it but I don't know how long the keep stuff

Went to a funeral last year it was my dads aunties funeral she was in her late 80s and he was there turns out he was her dance partner so he keeps him self active hopefully he will see us back on the up at some point can’t see there being many older season ticket holders than him especially someone who as seen us win the FA cup

Love the old school wanderers fans and the connection to the real glory days for BWFC and the tales they can tell.

The game I posted looks like one qpr recorded them  self's probably for training purposes remember Bolton used to have a camera man sat on top of the manny road stand for all the games for the same purpose . Probably  all got binned shame

Did you see the goal? 

I did, 5 of us went down in a hired car which at the time inevitably broke down on the way home, we sat in the stand, not many away fans attended, but do remember diving about we he went on a jinking run beating defenders and then banging it in.

I've a confession to make that haunts me to this day, I wasn't at Burnden that day I was working in Germany auf wiedersehen pet the real version. I've since watched the goal so often I could convince myself I was there, love stopping the film as he celebrates and spotting all my mates in the paddock .

Seem to remember Worthy starting his run well inside our half, dribbling past half there team before firing one into top corner

I can see myself in the  clip with a big grin on my face, bouncing up+ down in the Burnden Terrace "Crazy corner" with my khaki shirt jacket on that i thought was as cool as fuck at the time

Happy days!
