when we played Blackpool in the Sherpa van semi final, and Blackpool had a penalty, he said something along the lines, mr Tyson on this occasion got it wrong then when they missed penalty he shouted justice, justice is done, cant remember it word for word, as i cant find the video :angry: so hopefully someone will correct me. 8) 8)

David Lee shining like a..... light

"The wanderers fans are on the pitch,and can you blame them i'd probably be on there myself!"

Owen Coyle.

 

 

On Mark Winstanley towards the end of Wrexham in the Sherpa Van:

 

"What a man, what a hero, oh what a bad foul...."

Ah Gumbo's favourite quote. If memory serves, it was:

 

"Mr J.R. Racey with the red and yellow flag, you got it wrong on this occasion"

Was he running both lines?

Was he running both lines?

 

I doubt it. I believe he had the flag with the red and yellow squares on.

 

Could be wrong though

you scaley bast.....errr you lucky lot!!!!!!!! vs Liverpool cup 92 when they

equalised at Burnden :D

" The thing is - Did that Hull City player hit the ground BEFORE the Bolton fans ran on the pitch?"

 

 

"Errrr,i think he did"

 

- Ding Dong Dave - describing the moment Bolton got the winner against Hull in that Friday night game, and a Hull player was floored just as the Bolton lads invaded the pitch. :yahoo:

Legend

 

 

'Never mind this football Italia come and watch this at Burndin Park'

 

what a goal from zico who's this Cantona?

 

the guy was a genius :D

WASNT THE 'WANT A RUB OFF' ONE OF HIS CLASSICS ,

".....so to speak....."

 

at Burnley when Bolton fans on the pitch "NO, no, no, no, no, oh no, no, no"

 

=D>

He's having a crack.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winnie. Winnie. Mark Winstanely. What a goal.

 

(screamer in Sherpa Van versus Wrexham at Burnden).

The Sherpa Van or was it Leyland Daf final at Wembley against Torquay. Dave gets carried away and says I'd like to thank the Torquay fans for making this a memorial occasion.

Think it was the Torquay game where Dave was sat in amongst the fans doing the commentary - quite a few times the commentary is interrupted with "mind that wire cock"

Yes it was. The Torquay sub was Pugh and Dave said this is Pew or is it Puff, I'll call him Pew. Puff has now got the ball.

Every time we scored it was "oh what a great goal from...." we never scored anything ordinary in those days :D

Not just Dave quotes, Classic roadrunner moments:

 

Interviewing fans outside Burnden who had just got their tickets for the Munich FA Cup game in 1991.

 

Dave Higson to BWFC fan : ???This is John, Loyal Bolton fan, Goes all over watching the whites. So John, Where are you going on your holidays this year??? !!!!!!

 

Nothing about the game!!!

 

A bloke who had just bought his ticket for the munich fa cup game. He was stood at the front of the queue looking at it, someone shouted ???you supposed to go to the game with it???. A dig at all the JCL???s who turned up for that game.

 

Pished up Bolton fans at Manchester airport after the pisa anglo Italian away game, asking dave if he knew what the score was.!!

 

Andy Walker telling Dave Higson that Dave was the real star of Bolton Wanderers Football Club!!!

 

On trinity street station before the Torquay Wembley final, how many times did Dave say 25 carridges??? How proud he was that day with Bolton having such a massive following.

 

Dave Higson ??? RIP ??? The greatest fan Bolton Wanderers have ever had, and ever will have.

Another Dave Higson from Roadrunner

 

Remember a Fulham home game from about 1989.

 

At 2-1 89th minute Thompson ran from the halfway line to Felgate to waste time - in the days when you could pass back to the keeper.

 

He overhits his return pass and the Fulham player who'd chased back nipped in to score.

 

Dave :- "Dear me! DEAR ME! THATS WHAT YER GET FOR MESSIN ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Fortunately Trevor Morgan made it 3-2 in injury time with a cracking volley.

 

Dave :- "Unintelligible noise"
