I'm not old enough to have seen Nat play but I did have the pleasure of meeting him. He was a true gentleman who seemed to have more than enough time for everyone.

 

You will be missed but never forgotten.

 

RIP Nat Lofthouse OBE

Idolised him as a kid, used to dribble stones up and down our back lane pretending I was him.

 

RIP Nat. Boltons greatest son and the greatest footballer never to receive a knighthood.

R.I.P Sir Nat - a true bolton legend

 

i had the pleasure to meet nat on a few occasions over the years - had a pint with him a few times , he always had time for a chat, a true gentleman

Not ashamed to say I cried when I found out. Had the pleasure of meeting him briefly and its the only time I've been awestruck. Hopefully the club will come up with a fitting tribute.

 

RIP Nat. A legend in the truest sense of the word.

Was lucky enough to meet Nat and he was a proper gent, taking his England caps for kids to wear at the Junior Whites. His house was like a museum to his career.

 

RIP

 

Can't believe that the club's announcement has a Tesco advert on it.

RIP Nat. Not much else to say. Fondest memory was when he was on ITV explaining Blackpool's Sherpa Van Northern Final penalty miss that virtually hit the Normid.

Didn't see Nat play but always proud that my team had such a legend.

 

Remember George Oghani fluffing a header & old timer behind me saying (in Lancashire dialect) "eeh if that'd been Nat 'ed ave broke back of t'net".

 

RIP Nat

A true one off legend and I am proud to have known him as a player and friend.

Im too young too truly appreciate what a great footballer he was for Bolton. What an ambassador for the club and game in general he was though. RIP Nat.
