Bolton 3 Man City 0 Garry Jones hat trick League Cup 1971 Monster 40,000 crowd

I wanted to go to that one but my owd fella wouldn't let me as I was only 9yo. Dam shame that would have gone down in the memory banks as one of the finest games and possibly would have been my first Bolton game.

a less obvious one but a great memory

christmas match at grimsby away when they were top of the league and bang in form, place was packed to the rafters, they were unbeaten at home for 300yrs and we nicked `em one nil. think it was a scott green goal.

jingle bells...jingle bells..etc

Could pick many games I attended but surely a trip in a Time Machine should be used for a match you didn't attend but wish you had?

 

1958 Cup Final for me

1976-77 season

Derby County away in the League Cup 5th Nov 76

Derby 1 Wanderers 2 goals from Whatmore and Morgan

 

A time when the Wanderers where on the up. Great game and a fantastic turn out from the Bolton fans at the old Baseball Ground tucked in under the stand.

 

The win saw us into the semi-finals to face Everton which in themselves where games you cannot forget. That Neil Whatmore free-kick at Goodison sent the travelling arm, located in the Park end, into a frenzy.

 

Would have to agree. Went to both games two top nights. prior to the Derby game We where lucky to get past fulham after two replays the second one being down at st Andrews which I also went to.

For me its West Brom at home in the playoffs. Mainly because I was earning enough to finally buy my Dad his ticket after he had shown me the way in supporting Bolton; and it was the last match we went to together whilst I was still living in Bolton before I moved down south. Great match, and the West Brom fans were fanatastic that night as well.

 

Loved it.

They were superb tbh.

as well as some of the others mentioned, Exeter away, Andy Walkers first game, this time I wouldn't pay to get in either and climb through the connifer hedge at the back of the terrace like half of the others, and I wouldnt go for a pie and miss the goal.

I'll hold my hand up, was gutted when we signed him. I was at Exeter that day. My mate was just back from a ban and had Dibble stood behind us the whole game.

 

How I was made to eat my words and I will always defend him whenever I'm in Glasgow.

My old man to this day still talks about the West Brom fans that night!

Hull away

 

didn't get to go first time, wasn't allowed as me and some mates got done at school for burning resin on a bunsen burner

 

no Hull was the punishment

 

still upsets me to this day

Reading away - the season of the play off final I think it was

 

Was on and off shagging a fit blonde from there who was a big Reading fan, met her at the services on the way down and again after the game :good:

Bournemouth away few days before Hull.

 

I've never celebrated a goal like Browny's since & never will.

 

How many did we take down there? believe there was quite a few...

1958 Cup Final for me

 

 

In that case the reading play off final - missed it due to a family holiday in Majorca. Was doing exams at uni the day of the preston final so missed that also. Only bleeding play off final i went was the watford one. What a s hit day that was

Beating Rovers 4-3 at ewood a few seasons back, 1-0 up after 14 seconds, 3-1 down then an sublime chip by Youri at the end of the first half and then going on to win 4-3 in the second. Even sweeter because a few of my mates are Rovers fans and we had met before the game and agreed put ?10 each in, and whoever won got to split the money. They rang me at 3-1 to gloat, then met at full time to pick up my winnings.

 

Beating Villa 5-2 in the cup was a good, I was in the perfect position to see Jay-jay's freekick fly in so would like to witness that again.

wolves play offs at home, atmosphere was something else. Utd at home waited a long time to beat em at home, even without the match tho that was some day, Southampton away a few seasons ago class weekend..everton 4-0.. Any european, not really narrowed it down there

Went to the Blackburn 4-3 game and had the shortest lived bet ever. My mate revealed when we got in Ewood that he'd had a dream the night before that Dwight Yorke scored the opening goal but the Whites went on to win 3-1 and was convinced it was going to come true.So the four of us had a bet on Yorke first goal and 3-1 to Bolton. 14 seconds into the game as Kevin Nolan was still celebrating his goal the betting slip was fluttering to the floor in pieces. What a great game though, hope for more of the same on sunday.

Been most of the memorable ones mentioned here, so i would like to go back again and see Tony Caldwell banging his five goals in against Walsall in that 8-1 thrashing.

800 I'd say.

 

Quality over quantity. ;)

 

Sunk to my Knees when Browny scored & some big oaf jumped on me. :D

 

I knew Hull would be huge as a result.
