Good Knee

Remember Tonge Moor labour club early 70's every Tuesday night was rock un roll proper teddy boys hundreds of em in all the real gear and girlfriends; us little suede heads used to take the piss and try and get a chase of em they'd no chance of catching us in those big fuck off blue suede shoes.

Proper Boddingtons in the Prince Bill on Bradshawgate early 1980s nectar.

Just missed out on seeing him play grew up with all the tales about him Castle Hill lad like mi self, met him a couple of times a real gentleman. Always thought Shearerwas probably the most comparable type of number 9 but he was a dislikeable geordie. Still a mural of the great man on the wall in the Castle.

He's a good bloke when he started doing his badges he coached my lads team about 20 years ago ,although I did suggest him for the job some time ago I got a bit of a rebuke because apparently he's a bit of a punky.

I recall a carnival atmosphere before that game and us being safe the result not being important but a handful of yorkies didn't observe the silence for the great Eddie Hopkinsons passing and the mood changed dramatically the crowd then baying for blood.

Being discussed on Jeremy Vine radio 2

I could be wrong and will never know but suspect had PP fielded one of last season's many selections Coventry would have won .

Some great photos of supporters from 89 to 95 recognise plenty ,I wonder how many will be there today .

Tomski

Prefer the badge To ski uses as his avatars.

Meant to say I was looking at the shirt

I know the new owners must have a thousand and one more important things to sort out but it occurred to me while looking at today's (which I like) that it would be a great time to finally rid ourselves of that made up badge and return to some tradition that means something anyone agree ?

Cheers P I'm positively ancient remember all of em.

Top o' the brow lad me thinks .

Alan Wilson don't think he was ever in Fred or Barneys league good lad though still knocks around the Northern Soul scene .

Unfortunately I missed out on seeing the great Sir Nat but started watching his replacement Franny Lee with God alas Freddie Hill can't remember that being all long ball,then along came one of my all time favourites the great J B he couldn't have thrived like he did playing hoof it. Ian Greaves team Worthy and Peter Reid long ball ? Colin Todd's all conquering champions who refused to change tactics to survive in top flight ,and some if not all of BSA football with Jay Jay and Youri.

Funeral a week tomorrow Parish Church it will be a big turn out for the lad .

Good old boy John did day release at college with him remember him working the doors Cranberry Fair was fun when he worked wit big C H happy carefree days RIP big man .

Afternoon all , I've been reading this thread from day one some of it as been like wading through porridge some as passed by me tumbleweed style and I may be setting myself up here to be called thick as pig muck but here goes. Could someone explain to me who gets the £25 million it costs to buy us if nobody owns us ?🤨

Perfectly fine by me my friend and sorry if I came across as an arse just never understood this second team thing it's Wanderers only for me and whoever's playing United. After that I can dislike all other clubs equally also I'd just had to put up with half a dozen blokes in Liverpool shirts jumping around the No Name in Harwood .

And why on earth should a Boltonian side with Mickey Mousers?

Just wondering how tonight's final will be received in the pubs of Manchestoh who ever wins will be an arrow through the heart of any dmb's and I can't see any of the massives being over enthralled love it .

Can't remember if it was my first football special but I went on the League Liner to Bournemouth, it had a disco carriage at the back boiling hot when we got there and I remember walking through a park to the ground where we saw men playing a strange game with sticks found out it was hockey very strange.
