Surely everyone can remember their first Bolton match?
Mine (and my bro's too I would imagine) was when Newcastle, but more importantly Kevin Keegan, came to town in 1982. We won 3-1 but bizarrely, with me only being a nipper, I can only really remember being in the beer garden yard at the Hen & Chickens before the game and an old guy sat in front of me on the terrace (or was it the embankment?) eating a packet of biscuits and me wanting one.
My next game was possibly the most depressing I've still been to, but also the one that made me realise I was a Wanderer for life... in 1987 when we drew 2-2 with Aldershot to get relegated to the 4th division. I still remember the paddock singing, "We love you Bolton, we do" even though there was no hope.
Apologies if this has been done before.
