    Superb find!! Obviously I’d love my Dad to be still alive (sadly at 105 it would be wishful thinking) but it’s stuff like this that rings so many bells about stuff he told me By 1945 he’d be

Watch the Wigan fans shit themselves when Bolton start walking through them 🤣

Some footage from our 1-4 defeat to Liverpool near the end of the 1978/79 season . I haven't come across this footage before.

Another video from the 1978/79 season against Liverpool and another defeat , bizarre to think we drew twice with them the following season AND got relegated.

BWFC abroad ...ish ....

Wow. Brilliant. The fact the footage exists not the results. One memory of that game is the weird screeching noise the scousers on the Embankment made that day

I do like stumbling across unseen footage from this era . Funny to think Liverpool only conceded 16 league goals looking at the own goal.

Did Bradford bring any fans to this? Or were the away fans somewhere other than the Normid corner?

They'll have had that little bit on the Burnden paddock.

How did David Lee get away with that btw :D

Anything from 74-80 is just gold dust for me. Such little footage from such a great era. Soon as I see it a memory is sparked in one way or another. Think it’s because I was a young teenager so taking in everything- the match, the crowd, everything

Very possibly , it's funny watching some of Paul Hanleys  video's how certain thing jog the memory.

Indeed. You see a goal or something else and know exactly where you were stood or sat

BSA vs Sunderland. Supermac’s goal in the FA Cup. Julian Darby vs Stoke. Chelsea invading and taking over Burnden

As I mentioned in a different thread a good while ago, I did some dementia training and it’s good to watch these videos and recall these memories as provoking them keeps your brain alive to put it in simple terms

Think this was just before Xmas 92? I was home from Uni and bumped into a good mate who'd gone. We'd both gone through the disaster of the 80s together (miserable crowds of 4-5000).

He was adamant this team was going places and it felt such a relief.

Superb to see this and the away game. That home game we barely touched the ball. They showed their class. I remember my old Dad saying ruefully "It feels like they've got 15 players on the pitch".

What a great night. Weird memory (I think) was the chant “we’ve got radiation we’ve got radiation you’ve not” to the Wigan fans under their shed roof as it started raining. The game was the week after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster when I think the weather systems had spread the radiation cloud over the UK? Or perhaps I’ve made this up 🤷‍♂️.

Should have been 7-1 , nothing wrong with Scot Sellars goal

Wasn’t the disallowed seventh goal another for Scot Taylor?
