    I'm a Liverpool fan, but i felt it necessary to pay my respects to a real football legend. The more i read and hear about this man the more incredible his life in football seems to be. From a school

Before my time but his name is synonymous with football and he is a true legend of football. RIP Nat and best wishes to Bolton for the rest of the season.

I dont know how to start a campaign.

 

However, how about everyone, whoever attended a BWFC match home or away-and- people of Bolton many of whom would have been touched by our greatest ambassador ALL attend en masse in AND around the ground next weekend.

 

EVERYONE

The game of football is so much poorer tonight after this news.

 

Nat is a legend for his club and country.

 

RIP

You was a true gentleman and a Bolton legend RIP.

I walked into my mum and dads bedroom about 17 years ago and my dad was on the phone to Nat trying to sort me being a mascot at Burnden, Suc h a down to earth man and Bolton through and through a real gent.

 

A sad day for our club and for football

 

R.i.p Nat x

Just seen. Awful news. Fantastic man.

 

Sleep well Nat.

RIP Sir Nat.

I could just "run, shoot and head." And a bit more than that I think!

Such a humble opinion of himself. Sounds very much like those who have met the great man and have told me about him. My dad was lucky enough to see him at Burnden twoards the end of his career. Told me many times how good he was. I've said for a number of years, if I could meet any one man and shake his hand it would be Nat.

 

One club man, and for that I am very grateful.

 

R.I.P. Nat.

I never saw the great man play, but i was lucky enough to meet him several times.

One of the TRUE LOYAL AMBASSADOR's OF OUR BEAUTIFUL game.

Very sad news to wake up to

 

I am proud to say that I met him a few times

 

RIP, Nat

On holiday in Adelaide and very sad to hear the news.

A true servant to the club at all levels and a true Bowtoner.

Met him on a couple of occasions, a lovely bloke.

Should've been knighted years ago!

RIP Sir Nat

Though a part of the football club we all hold so dear to our hearts may have gone

the legacy of Nat Lofthouse and his passion for his beloved Bolton Wanderers will live on forever and will never be forgotton.

 

RIP

A man who's standards and principles every professional footballer would do well to follow. A true one-off who loved his club and will be sorely missed.

etched in the hearts of millions you will be sadly missed - r.i.p sir nat, lion of the wanderers - a true sports hero xx

Rest in Peace Nat, Mr Bolton Wanderers.
