Strange Places You've Met A Bolton Fan.

Walked out the office tuesday afternoon, this fella walked past me with Bolton cap on, thought he was a holiday maker or summat,so i gave him the 3rd degree cause ive never seen one in these parts before, other than people ive influenced, said he's a kiwi, never been bolton but always supported em ! weird, i was brainwashed as a child but this guy chose us ! Top bloke.

In Blockbuster video in Newmarket, a small town near Toronto about 3 years ago. The lad walks in wearing his Bolton shirt, apparantley he'd moved over from Harwood about 10 years ago. I was recognised in my BWFC shirt by another Bolton fan at a Toronto FC friendly v Aston Villa last summer. There seems to be quite a few in Ontario. Is'nt there a poster from Guelph, ON, on this site?

Middle of nowhere in Laos, found a bar with a generator and satellite dish. Asked if they would show English football later and was told to come back when the owner was there. Turned up and hour before kick off to find it was owned by a bloke from Astley Bridge. A bit sureal!

Boarded a bus in Cairns, Australia with my Bolton top on. Soon as i got on these blokes started singing Bolton songs, they had emigrated over there about 30 year ago!

Ann Taylor MEP came over and spoke to me at the England v Argentina match in Sapporro, Japan. Said "Its nice to see someone from Bolton here" There was 30 odd of us :mellow:

Sat next to her at a big do in London. I think we were put together as we were both BW fans. I despise her.

Got in a black cab in dublin and told him was from bolton and the lad said he was best mates with joey obrien . That night jumped into another black cab and this old fella turned out to be the first taxi drivers dad , remember joey as a lad . Out of 2000+ black cabs in dublin got into dad and lads taxi . Think the big guy upstairs wanted me to meet the for some reason . Really nice fellas to .

Saw a lad with a Bolton top on at Salford Quays Friday afternoon.

 

He was leaving the new flats they've just put up, looked like he lived there.

On the train from Athlone to Dublin a couple of weeks ago.

Made a change from all the 'pool and ManU shirts over there.

The main shopping mall "florida mall" in May. Had my top on and this bloke with his wife and daughter walked up to me shook hands and said in a top lancashire accent "white army" then walked off. It took me back a bit as when i spoke to him it seemed to puzzle him (living in and from warrington been told many times im a scouser or speak like one, nearly got a clip at tranmere a few years ago from some bolton fans but got recognised just as his fist was about to meet my jaw and ended up on the lash with them after a 0-0 bore draw. Think it was 1at game of season a few years ago,eidur missed a sitter)

On oxford street Accra in Ghana. Walking along saw bloke in Bolton away shirt.. Started talking to him he seemed very elusive about what he was doing over there. I decided he was a sex tourist or drug smuggler. He kept referring to business with friends?? On the brightside he got away with it cause I saw him on the train the first day of that season still wearing the same shirt and african beads I'd seen him in.

Very good MG. Still waving at fire engines?
