Didn’t realise we were involved in two world record transfer fees 😊

Sorry Burnden didn’t see you’d posted about ticket exchange. I’ll change mine 😊

[tomski]

Also seems a good idea

[radcliffe white]

Is there a ticket exchange?

Nah you’re dreaming. 🤣

Good to read about David Jack though 😊

[freds dad]

Selling our best players. Boooooo

[wakey]

Legend has it Arsenal got our directors pissed to negotiate a lower fee.

Tossers.

And they never got properly promoted in the first place.

Another one who needed a pre-season

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I didn't actually realise he was born in Bolton (it's strange that he ended up starting his career down in Plymouth)

David Jack, Tommy Lawton, Nat Lofthouse

The town's produced some proper English centre forwards in its time

Hahaha quality

Selling a 30 year old for that sort of profit was tremendous. 

Pissed or not, they got a reasonable deal I reckon.

His father was a Jock who played 110 games for us before going to PNE, Glossop(!) then Plymouth where presumably he remained after retirement.

Jock Jack. Has a ring to it.

There was once a man called Jock Jack,

Kept his coins in a goat-skin sack,

From Bolton, and North End,

To almost Land's end,

Then his son came all the way back!

Paul Mariner.

Francis Lee (more a striker, than centre forward maybe).

 

.... & no, I'd not realised Jack was a Bowton lad.

Just imagine if Paul Moulden had lived up to the initial promise.

Three actually. Tommy Barber sold to Aston Villa for £2,000 in 1912.

Let’s just admit it, we are (were) massive 😎

Just looking at him you can see that he'd be at the opposite end of the human evolutionary scale to Ian Rush.

Think I read we built a stand with the money.
