FA CUP away to Everton 0-2 down

 

Won 3-2 and if my memory serves me right i think OC played a little part in the comeback

Swindon

 

they got 3-1 up with an away goal from Fjortoft with 30 mins left

 

some come back that was

 

if I remember right: McGinlay, Mixu & McAteer?

 

 

against us

 

3-0 up v Watford at half time, lost 4-3

About 4-5 seasons ago when we beat Chelsea 2-1 from 1 down, i think Crespo scored? Anyways, N'Gotty powered in a header then Pedersen out paced liek everyone and deflected it on off John Terry in the last minute ha

And one that ended in glorious failure - Stockport Away a few back - 0-3 at HT, equalised with about 5 mins to go, then they scab one in Injury time.

 

 

Gutted at this game, went with my mates who are Stockport fans.

Nothing worse than having to go for a few pints after the game with them.

Tossers.

Has to be Reading due to the venue & the importance...& the fact it was so very un-Boltonlike!!!

Seem to remember being 1-0 down to Preston on a grand national day and then scoring 2 in the last couple of minutes to win it !!

Swindon

I remember that one, Ian Marshall scored a towering header in front of us, i thought he'd broke the net, everyone one went mental then they scored :angry: Was it the same game McGinlay was in the away end?

some time between about 89 and 92 (any help statto's?)

 

Crewe at home

 

Me and the old man sat in our ST seats in Manny Road South - always the same (few) people sat around us, all recognised each other week in week out in those days...

 

2-0 down at half time and we were shocking

 

Random bloke sat behind me on his own...never seen him before (or since) turns to me during the break and says "don't worry kid, we're gonna win this" - he seemed absolutely convinced...me and me Dad thought he was off his tits

 

Anyway, we won 3-2...think my namesake got the winner

 

Never saw the mysterious bloke again

4,933 saw Philliskirk, Green and Darby win it for us.

1-1 against West Brom at home in the 90's sometime. They scored in about the 92nd minute and we equalised a minute later, West Brom fans were still celebrating when we scored. I think it was Coyle who got our equaliser.

The Blackburn 4-3 game, i remember saying to a mate at half time (3-1 down) this game is there for the taking, Blackburns defence was shocking, all over the place! The rest is history :D

Cheers Sluff, that'll be the one

FA CUP away to Everton 0-2 down

 

Won 3-2 and if my memory serves me right i think OC played a little part in the comeback

 

Prob my favourite

 

But Reading, from the moment before they take their pen, has to be the winner... it was destiny that year, but at that precise moment I was absolutely bladdered, in the hot sun, thinking what the f?ck has happened here?

 

 

Southampton in the cup about 1989, 2-0 down at home I think, drew 2-2... Paddock went from utterly morose to rocking in about ten minutes, that was quality

7.10.1989

 

Wigan @ Burnden.

 

Missed the 1st 7-10 mins as was finishing up int King Bill.

 

Got in and we were 2-0 down.

 

Ended up winning 3-2.

 

Philiskirk (pen), Darby 2

Happy Days

 

:drinks:

Reading and Everton were up there.

Hull City away on THAT Friday night, a game we had to win :yahoo:

northampton away 1989. 2-0 down ht. won 3-2 , john thomas scoring a hatrick(i think) any way equalled club record 20 games without defeat

 

next game svt v torquay. new record.

Northampton away 1989 2-0 down at half time,Bolton lads playing football on the pitch at half time then winning 3-2,i think John Thomas scored the winner from about 30 yards out

In the manner of a couple of earlier posters I'd have to say the 18 years, almost exactly to the day, between the Aldershot game (17/05/87) which saw us relegated to 4, and the Pompey game (07/05/05) which saw us qualify for Europe. I was at them both and let's just say the contrast was marked :good:

3-0 down at home to notts county after half an hour

 

drew 3-3

Yes i was there all lads fucked off to king bill and i stayed... (fuckin idiot) :drinks:

Reading and Everton were up there.

Hull City away on THAT Friday night, a game we had to win :yahoo:

I was starting to think I was going to be the first to post about one of the most exciting matchs i've ever seen us play. Bringing on back the good times. =D>

Best Bolton comeback for many a year.............. Owen

Coyle COYWM
