I remember a certain full-back who seemed to conveniently develop shingles just before we ever played Bury do David Lee wouldn't rip him apart...

 

Which other BWFC players have been out with "illness"?

Nicky Hunt chucked up on the pitch

 

and... two non Bolton players once stood marking it each other not wanting to get involved in their own match off to talk bolton because it was sooo cold! they were only 11 though

bit off topic but didt middlesbrough have to call a game off cause half there team had the flu

Didn't they just not turn up and ended up getting a big fine and a 3 point deduction?

yeah think it ment they went down as well

Yep, and then they got relegated (by 2 points i think?) Even if they'd put out a team of 14 year olds and the kit man and got stuffed 40-0 they still would've stayed up...

did'nt boro have 3 points taken off them for that

andy, which part of glossop wanderers reply did you get confused with.

 

::::::::::::, i was thinking the same

I got slagged for saying this at the time, but Stelios plays the full 90 at Chelsea,(5 days before Besiktas) didn't even travel to Turkey "injured", then the next game(3 days later) he's running about like a spring fcukin lamb! :^o

Just remembered another one, but not actually an injury. In the mid nineties when we were struggling our nuts off in our first season in the prem, we had a midfielder who deliberately picked up a booking so he would be suspended, and he wouldn't have to play against a (at that time) rampant Man Yoo - FACT!

Even if they'd put out a team of 14 year olds and the kit man and got stuffed 40-0 they still would've stayed up...

 

aye but the kids would've been bummed senseless in the team bath by said kit man, after the game

is this an anagram ???

 

or is it a cryptic clue ???

Certainly remember them having some points taken off them. Not quite enough to get them relegated at the end of the season as I recall.

its official iv lost my mind aswell as boro's 3 points
