Guess the players

Found an old team sheet from a Pontins League Division 1 from December 1998 away at Burnley . A Very strong Wanderers 11 + 6 subs . Can you guess the line up . 

Dont expect anyone to know the Burnley team , I'd only ever heard of one of them .

  • I know he trained in Bolton for the 66 world cup. The "had heard" was a reference to a BEN headline / article when we were supposedly after him as manager 😁

  • I played in net against that City team in a trial match at Platt Lane. Still have the extra arseholes they tore me

Very hazy memory now but I seem to recall the game Rodney Jack shredded us was a night game, in half term, when the club did one of its early goes at cheap tickets for kids / families and we ended up with about 24k on and set the trend of falling flat on such occasions that's lived on till this season

I'm sure the Rodney Jack game was a Saturday. He tore Jimmy Phillips to pieces that day.

Grimsby at home was a night match with about 25k on for a fiver a couple of years later. Think we drew 2-2?

That's it, when I was writing it I had Grimsby in the back of my mind, mixed the two games up
