    one of the guys from Bukta set up Front Runner from Gilnow Mill- went on to supply kits to Betis, Seville, Valladolid, Bradford and a few more. Maradonna wearing a shirt made in Daubhill? Yeah that ha

  • Bertie, you were ahead of your time mate. Years (even decades later) we sarcastically chant 'Wanky Wanderers'. Visionary.

Steve Taylor, "The Roadrunner". Fans would shout 'Beep-Beep' when he set off.

His special power was designing really shit looking football kits. He later then transitioned into RBK-Woman, and designed this fucking horror story

Bolton Wanderers Away shirt. An interesting mustard colour that didn't ...

He could score goals too though and I’m still convinced had he not got that cruciate injury after our semi final first leg at Goodson, we’ve have stuffed Everton at Burnden and who knows maybe even won the final too?

It looks like someone put a coffee cup down on it while his mam was ironing it.

Yeah, up near Dun Mare. Not seen them in years, I know they lost a fortune with Spanish copyright laws. Bill was still in there on his Todd for a bit, but I’m going back 25 years

Must be in their 70s and 60s respectively now?

I’m after a Valladolid kit if anyone knows of any from this era? It was the original North Walkden kit

Remember that kit purple I think.. Reminded me of a kit we use to supply to a works team in Little Hulton, maybe connected to the Walkden lot...
