There was a massive fuck up that night regarding our allocation think we got 2500 could of sold thousands more should of give all behind goal.

 

it was probably more to do with City fans being regulars in their north stand and not wanting to give up their usual spots etc

 

giving away fans a whole stand isn't a luxury every team can afford TBF

That's a cracking piece of footage.

 

'Bolton were counted as one of the aristocrats of the game.'

 

How times change.

We were aristocrats until the 50s then the minimum wage came in the early 60s and we did not move with the times, as said elsewhere Man U were similar size club then Busby embraced Europe nicked Duncan Edwards from under our noses and he rest is history. Edited by Mounts Kipper

i think salford trotter knew sinclair...or maybe it was sissons

 

it just shows how 'thin' we were under allardyce and megson

 

the likes of comyn platt, sissons, sinclair, wolfe, wolze and that black yank winger

 

they just disappeared off the radar despite being 'next in line'

 

of all of em, at least livesey had a career and didn't fojut have a reasonable time back home?

That wiki page describing him as a striker little off the mark looking at his goal scoring record.

And not forgetting Teymourian who was more than next in line.

I remember talking to Neil Fisher's dad at work when he said his son was playing for the second string at a pre match friendly at Flixton , only down the road for me so I went to see this unknown talent. His greatest feat was scoring on his debut against Darlo.

In comparison to us they had some real quality Bury absolutely loved it when we stole them of them, thanks to Hugh eaves getting into financial difficulty, I wonder where we suddenly got the cash for the 3 Bury lads?
