94/95 league cup quarter finals , Liverpool Arsenal , Palace City, Bolton Norwich from approx 45 mins .

Also notable for a fair few future Wanderers and Steve Lomas turning purple with a swallowed tongue .

Speaking of awful decisions

Felgate was my first hero. Lucky enough to be u19s keeper when he was 1st choice at RMI- he's watched my lad a few times in his role at Liverpool; proper melt though when I see him. Mark Came's grandson is the other keeper, so he bobs about

Watched this game live in a pub in High Wycombe , got a load of shit of some carpenter fuckers sat behind me , ended up lobbing a pint glass at them and being dragged out cos I was a sulky bastard ( still am ) . Kept getting told to calm down by a swedish junior sprint champion . Cynthia something.

Me and a Chelsea fan were in the Bolton end for this game . Nearly got beat up by Chelsea fans in one of their pubs because we didnt beat them . So Surreal. Still cant watch it back .

Wasn't handball by the looks of it neither. 

Anyway, is there any footage of our more successful visit around that time when we won (3 or 4 nowt)?

Despite Dave Higson saying it was for handball it must've been given for the tug back on their striker.

Whilst it was a bad call on the offside in that game, we benefited from a poor call at home against Palace.

I was there & i'm not watching that again.

Alongside Black Sunday & Stoke at Wembley, the 3 most spineless Bolton performances I've seen. (the relegation at Stoke was another contender )

Absolutely tremendous memories, thanks for posting.  The quality on show was breathtaking, I sort of expect to be underwhelmed by older clips as we are told the pace today is so much faster.  Not if you watch that, the likes of Lee, Stubbs, Sneekes, Tomo, I could go on, would fit effortlessly into top level football now.  And Branagan's save at the death, fantastic!  What a keeper.  And the atmosphere was spine tingling at times, I remember the excitement everyone felt going to that game,I bet it will never be replicated for a league cup quarter final (anywhere).

Agree with all those, don't forget Watford at Wembley too, given that we had a better team.  A few others over the years (probably a separate thread at some point!).

Think the pen was for the pull-back by Burke just before.

3 consecutive headers, all in the 6yd box, by Allardyce. Don't think that's ever been done by anyone in the history of football. Prove me wrong people.
