Ruba Mustafa Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 On this day two years ago Aaron Wilbraham wrote his name in history by scoring one of the most important goals in our history. That goal was absolute class! The long goal kick, flick on, the run by Le fondre and cross,,,,, but what a run by Wilbraham, the way he angled out then turned inwards and lost his marker was fantastic and a lesson for all young strikers. i never tire of watching that goal. we should have our own bank holiday in Bolton every year called Wilbraham Day.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Amazing day and night, the best ever. Never thought a home game would ever trump some of the experiences we've had at away games or abroad. That photo of Wilbraham connecting with the header should be a huge black and white image in the entrance to the stadium, transcript of Dearden's commentary should be on a long banner between the two tiers of the East Stand. Those two pitch invasions really made the stadium feel like ours, after so many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 A mate of mine went home at half time and wrote us off. He supports Salford now I remember looking round, waiting for a flag to be raised. Just didn't sink in. Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'd already resigned myself to relegation when we went 2-1 down so hadn't been checking on how Burton or Barnsley were getting on. Dearden's commentary still gives me goosebumps but the moment is still behind Frandsens goal against Middlesbrough for me. Just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshape Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Unbelievable day. The celebrations when it went in are just a blur. Faces and arms everywhere. Went out in Manchester after the game. Didn't stop smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter barryk32 Posted May 6, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2020 My lads first game was Wednesday away when he scored in injury time. He instantly became his hero as he was "launched about by randomers". Forest at home will live with him forever. Its why we go to football.

BWFC_LOVE Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Amazing day and the celebrations afterwards were something else. However... I didn’t appreciate that goal as much as others at the time (wished I did), as I wasn’t 100% sure that other results had gone in our favour. Surely can’t have been the only one.

The main mon without being the main scoring hero. Lets face it, Wilbo was past his best and is a L1 striker at best - hence the reason why he hardly played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruba Mustafa Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yep the role le fondre played won’t be forgotten in a hurry. the way he wheeled away after putting that cross in and ran over to the bench (?) says to me that he knew (we all do) that he put it on a plate and set up the Wilbraham wonder goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing There were two lads who sat behind me that season and they stayed until the final whistle every single week without fail. That day they left a couple of minutes after Forest scored their second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
