Moderators Casino Posted April 2 Moderators Share Posted April 2 Theres a new book out in a few weeks I hope it doesnt drone on like the interview on Chorley FM yesterday You would do well to fuck up the material tbh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Total-Belief-Brought-Bolton-Wanderers/dp/1801507015?crid=12ITBB0P3S1DQ&keywords=Total+Belief&qid=1704650705&s=books&sprefix=total+belief,stripbooks,76&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=pitchpublishi-21&linkId=f67e46f7367e54ce64233bb05c7f1433&language=en_GB&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted April 2 Site Supporter Share Posted April 2 Head the guy plugging it on Bolton FM, sounds interesting. Seems a shame that Rioch is now living "as a bit of a recluse" in Cornwall. Wanted nothing to do with the book, which is fair enough and his prerogative. Ordered it for the FiL for his birthday, and might get a copy for myself. Mentioned he makes more from it if you buy away from Amazon.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 2 Site Supporter Share Posted April 2 I've just ordered myself a copy - the best period of my life watching Bolton, late teens until early 20's and watching us beat up the big boys. Fantastic times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Great times, a good manager, played great football. He'd have done better to stay with us in retrospect. He, however, very properly let his contract run down and joined a top club who's training ground was a mile from his home. A terrible shame he joined an Arsenal following the George Graham scandle & had a crumbling team which fought against his changes ... & Ian Wright basically rebelled and won the tussle. Only got the one season in which before he was removed, he signed Dennis Bergkamp. Replaced by Arsene Wenger ... a decision which you can't really fault. Never heard a bad work about us from him, nor about him from others (Ian Wright excepted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember John McGinlay telling me at Hull away at half time he opened all the windows of the changing room and told the players to just listen to our fans. Just listen what it means to them. Superb.

Underpants Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Even though I didn't know it at the time they were terrific days. The best I've had following Bolton under a any manager. Hard to explain to someone who wasn't around at that time. They were so good I would have back us to get a result against any team in the country. Felt invincible.

Needs that passing and movement. Won't always work for him of course, but he's not a bloke we can just lump it up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Nearly 30 years later and I struggle to think of a better goal than this. The embodiment of the team in one goal; how many strikers on the pitch at this stage? pace, power, individual brilliance, selfless forward play, one touch and driving runs, from defence to the back of the net in seconds… that team never knew they were beat: 0-2 after 12 mins, 3-2 after 105 mins. Biggest game in 15 years and they clawed their way back with panache, wet look gel and an iconic kit Planet Reebok Edited April 2 by Dr Faustus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I’ll never forget Rioch in his first season as our manger saying “If we win our last 5 games, we’ll get promoted” Chester (H) Bournemouth (A) Hull (A) Port Vale (H) Preston. (H) We won all 5 and i’m so glad i went to them all. Oh & we beat Liverpool at Anfield. Great days. Edited April 3 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were celebrating winning the title and enjoying the fact that us beating them made it much more difficult for Port Vale. Amazing season as we didn't really begin to click until October I think and then were brilliant for the back half of the season (or that's how I remember it).
