on are way down Ben Nevis we came across a family of Wanderers walking up,that mountain is a real slog hope they made it.

In football tops? All of them?

Chavtastic!

Queuing for ferry to Alcatraz in San Francisco, Sept '98, me wearing '58 replica shirt spots chap in teal green away shirt joining back of queue, both uttering the immortal "f@ckin 'ell" on eyeballing each other. Bumped into him at Villa about 5 years later, and never seen since.

To be fair, we have a number of moonmen support Bolton.

Oxford Street Accra, I couldn't believe it.. he acted as if he'd bumped into a Bolton fan on Bradshawgate he was that casual. Saw him again that season on the train... Never seen him since.. Ghana Whites

on eastenders.

On the waterfront in Sydney Oz, there is plaque in the floor that states, I was born to be a Wanderer !!!!!!!!!!!

A little kid playing footie with a Bolton top in a Torquay back street about 8 years ago. Turned out to be a mates kid from Tyldesley who babbed a wench down there.

A bloke kept "awreeting" me in Cala d'Or a few years back and I didn't know why until one day on the beach he says to me "oi Bolton, can I borrow your mobile" ?

Me: How d'you know I'm Bolton ?

Him: It's said it on your cap all week.

Mine would be in a proper local boozer out in the suburbs of Derry.

 

West Ham v Bolton, we won 3-1.

Taronga Zoo, Sydney, I was plain clothes, he was in Bolton top so said hello, he turned out to be a right bell end

Irish pub O'Kims in Seoul

Lad spotted my Bolton polo top in Jamaica as were getting on the coach to leave.

 

Think we made plans to have a pint in the airport.

 

We never did.

I refer back to a screencapture I did from the BBC news report on the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Check out the graffiti on the wall...

Was in a boozer on Monday night in Guildford, a mini came out of nowhere with a BWFC sticker on its rear window. That was odd

 

Bolton here Bolton there!!

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Saw a kid wearing one

Cairns, Australia. Walking through some deserted streets, only people seemed to be there was us and some bloke sat in a bar. Turns out he was from Horwich.

Egypt 1997, walking towards the pyramids saw a bloke with a BWFC shirt on, stopped and said Hello swapped a bit of chit chat and went our seperate ways. Saw the same bloke around 10 years ago on a night out in Chester then again about 6 weeks ago, he now works in M&S at the Middlebrook.

Port Hedland, Australia. The only other bloke staying in the crappy hotel beside the airport. A Morris Greener.

Now I think about it, was it not DM giving it large from over the border?

LAX airport , a few weeks back

Travelling around Laos about ten years ago, ended up in this village that seemed to be totally made out of wood and reeds. Not much chance of watching Bolton v Spurs then.... Anyway climbed a hill to look down on the village and saw a building with some tv ariels and stuff sticking out...... I manage to find the place and it is a bar with a big fuck off tv, things are looking up! Could not make myself understood to the agent orange affected staff so decided to come back later nearer kick off...... Get there half an hour before kick and there is a white bloke behind the bar...... Up I go and ask "are you showing the football tonight mate"? "Why whose on"? comes the distinctly Northern reply. "Bolton v Spurs", "fucking right I am then"! Turns out he was from Tonge Moor!
