Happy Wanderer Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Mine must have been watching the Whites play Newcastle in the epic games in the 70's. I remember Malcolm MacDonald was brilliant at Burnden, Johnny Byrom had a good game at St. James' and eventually we got beat with former Wanderer Alan Gowling scoring a goal in the 1-2 defeat at Elland Road. Can't say I've seen may FA Cup games like them since. Any more magic moments?
Guest Uncle_Northy Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 i went to the elland road game with my owd man ....terrible traffic on the way ,and missed the first 20 mins or so. been to a good few cup ties ..anfield was class , everton 2-0 down and come back and win 3-2 brilliant . but for me winning 3-1 at arsenal , should have been 4 as we all know . not many teams went to highbury and came away with a result like that . oh and munich in 90 :-$
Smiley Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool (away). coming back from 2-0 down against Southampton at Burnden. coming back from 2-1 down against Gretna!! Alan Stubbs rocket free-kick against Villa at Burnden.
Burndens Bogs Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Best moment - Out on the piss from 11am in Liverpool,then watching us come from 2 -0 down to beat Everton. Worst moment - losing to Darren Beckfords goal against Oldham after Mark Patterson fcuked up, i don't think Patterson was ever forgiven.
Wobbly J Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Highbury , Anfield and Goodison without doubt but always a fond memory for late , late equaliser at Halifax and that 'one on all on' pitch invasion.
Smiley Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Highbury , Anfield and Goodison without doubt but always a fond memory for late , late equaliser at Halifax and that 'one on all on' pitch invasion. great time at Halifax, I have the BEN clipping somewhere. Didn't someone boot Paddy Roche up the arse that day?
Mounts Kipper Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 The 3 newcastle games in the 70s were brilliant, it brought thousands of bolton fans out of the woodwork and felt like a throwback to the 50s, 40 odd thousand on burnden 50 odd thousand on at st james and a full house at elland road never forget the sight of hundreds of bolton coaches stuck in traffic trying to get to elland road , only draw back was we lost the 2nd replay and i got locked out.
Horwich Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Liverpool away. I was gutted after Liverpool came back from 2 behind at Burnden. I thought that was it. Beating Liverpool at Anfield was brilliant.
Sweep Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Liverpool away. I was gutted after Liverpool came back from 2 behind at Burnden. I thought that was it. Beating Liverpool at Anfield was brilliant. Number 1 memory for me as well. I always raise a smile when I think about 10,000 Wanderers fans all singing "Ooh Aah Brannigan" for about 5 minutes
exiledwhite2 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Southampton at Burnden, 2-2 draw (I think) before we lost the replay to Barry Horne's wonder-flukes. Terrace were RAMMED that day, biggest crowd I'd ever seen at Burnden, and it took me twenty minutes to get up to my usual spot. By the time I got there I was desperate for a piss, I was only young then but I'd had a good few pints in the King Bill before the game. It took until half time to get to the bogs, no way I was fighting my way back into the middle of the terrace after that so I watched from nearer the Lever. Someone came on and inspired a fightback, we'd been chanting his name for ages, I think it was Tony Kelly but something tells me Kelly set the goals up with some sublime passes but the sub was actually Scott Green...or was it Reeves?
Underpants Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Highbury , Anfield and Goodison without doubt but always a fond memory for late , late equaliser at Halifax and that 'one on all on' pitch invasion. great time at Halifax, I have the BEN clipping somewhere. Didn't someone boot Paddy Roche up the arse that day? I would pick that Halifax game as my highlight. The season was going nowhere quick and we were going out of the FA Cup to bleedin' Halfax Town. Oghani last minute equaliser right in front of us lot PITCH INVASION
MickyD Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Went to all the away games mentioned. Running down motorway to get to Elland Road. Told my old fella I'd see him in ground! Southampton on train. Enough beer to sink a battleship, I made a tidy little profit that night! Escort to ground and every man for himself back to station. :D/ Both Liverpool and Everton were all dayers in pubs in and around the docks. Arsenal. . .told you before about the shop lifting spree by my fellow mini-bus occupants. Great days!
Andybwfc Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 One of my best matches was the home FA Cup tie replay at Burnden versus Spurs in the late 70's! We drew 1-1 at theirs! Ritson free kick towards the Embankment and I think Gary Jones got the winner in extra time! Superb atmosphere, packed ground and great Cup Tie!
Casino Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Ritson free kick towards the Embankment and I think Gary Jones got the winner in extra time! Superb atmosphere, packed ground and great Cup Tie! thought ritson got the winner wiped his instep on the back of his other sock, and leathered it
M46 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 All the big games from the 90`s stand out some great memories, especially Arsenal away (Nowt up with Kellys goal IMO) but the one that always makes me laugh was away at Whitton Albion. Stood next to a bloke I`d never seen before in my life and he turned around to me, looked me in the eye and said "Mind my spot im going to the toilet" WTF...knob head... Would you say that to a complete stranger. Then when he eventually returned, a Bolton player made a mistake and he shouted out "You silly sausage" Those two things stick in my mind. Now then pop pickers, which Wanderersway poster do you reckon this could be? Answers on a postcard. Or text 81181 (all text cost ??9.50 + standard text rate)
mickbrown Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Scott Green equalising against Southampton. I was in the picture on the back page of the BEN, looking damn fine might I add, before I lost my boyish good looks.
