noxid Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Remember playing on Burnden Park around 1971/72 for Smithills U15 schools cup v Heywood which we of course won 3-1. I was playing on the wing that night (under the floodlights) and couldn't believe how wide the pitch was and how much more room I had. Don't think I interacted with any of the players on the opposite side of the field that night. Took we three attempts before I got used to crossing the ball from the corner flag. Remember getting a medal presented by one of the Bolton players, coming out the dressing room and my dad saying I should have played better and scored twice!

Harold Hassell, 53 cup final full back lived up the road. Dad supped in Walkers Instiiture, football team across the road and cricket ground around the corner.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 5 Site Supporter Share Posted January 5 Good article. It was obviously still going for a few years during my childhood, but I can't say I remember the smell- probably had no reason to be visiting the area.

Specially the time they tried to render down a dead elephant from Chester zoo 🤢 I'm not sure how it was killed though. There's probably various options...

Where I was born- there used to be a bone works a few hundred yards away. When I used to go back visiting relatives as a kid, you would occasionally get a whiff.

B&W film with a very very brief glimpse of a match at Burnden and Eddie Hopkinson in goal . Alan Bates , A Kind Of Loving . Could be wrong , memory is going.
