Think scott green scored with a cross, or maybe they did. Memory is shot. Aye, it was Greenie. That was about game 8 or 9 of their 12 or so games without a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went to extra time and I was so cold I thought my feet would fall off. Won with a Gary Jones goal very late on. 31,000 on on a Tuesday night. Don't recall ever being so cold. Incredible that there were over 31k for an FA Cup 3rd round game, against a team in the same division. No giant killing chance, no local derby, no cheap tickets, no big away following and its a freezing cold midweek. And we'd just lost 2 league games to Millwall and Burnley. We only had 3 other 30k+ crowds that season: the other game v Spurs in Div 2, the promotion/title game v Fulham and Leeds in league cup. Days when cup games were your biggest crowd pullers even in a season when you got promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones the extra-time winner. I wasn't hooked on Bolton at the time, but I have a great memory of that winner, it was the live commentary on radio 2 - by the great Brian Butler. There probably weren't many times Butler commentated live on a Bolton winner but the way it came across on the radio was one of the reasons I wanted to go to more games after that, it sounded like Ritson had won the world cup with a 30 yard screamer.

Take Hunt Off Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My coldest recollection was York City away in early seventies.We were met on a very cold day on Trinity st. by the boys in blue & led to a ‘special ‘ which as it turned out had no heating whatsoever.We froze our nads off during the journey & were helped by our resident loons who decided to make it even colder by putting a couple of windows through.On arrival we were frogmarched by Yorkshire’s finest right to Bootham Crescent .I was dressed like most others shirt/jacket(suit) best brogues not winter attire by any sane criteria.Well we got beat 2-0 on a frozen pitch that could have hosted an ice skating competition.After the match I tried to take a short cut across the pitch , & ended up being chased by a large copper. Peice of piss I thought , outrun that lardarse easily but not reckoned on the frozen pitch - leather brogues combination.Just managed to get out in time ,at least it warmed me up.Cattle truck was waiting to take us home complete with even more broken windows.Siberian express wouldn’t have been colder.

Very snowy and cold day! Was a big giant killing act at the time, as York was in the old 4th division, and we was in the old 2nd division, a time when there was no putting a reserve team out, as it meant so much!

He ended up at Bury if I recall correctly. It was one of the very rare times my, not especially interested in football, kids came with me. It did nothing to alter that Ha ha! Good memory. 2 different Hulmes - Kevin was a bit of a Bury legend in 90s, Iain Hulme was the Tranmere one, went to Leicester, Barnsley, PNE for biggish fees. Famously got a fractured skull from Chris Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Pity that I was hoping we might take him off their hands in January just to rub their noses in it! Before they lose every half decent player they've got, it would be nice to take one off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
