In the u21s

 

Pearce has certainly seen something I haven't

think iv posted this story before

 

tesco next to the reebok

 

im at the cash machine getting impatient waiting for the guy infront to finish

 

was a good 3 or 4 minutes, kept putting his card back in and trying again.

 

anyway, he couldnt do what he wanted to do and lost it

 

starting kicking the wall and punching the cash machine and shouting at it

 

so i starts laughing like you would

 

guy turns round to see who is laughing

 

fuck me its mario jardel

 

complete nutcase

 

mate knows Phil Babb

 

apparently at S Lisbon, Jardel regularly threw bbq/pool parties which were pretty legendary - booze, birds, the lot etc

 

thing is, they were mostly held in the afternoon after training had finished!!

It was Mike Jeffery I think who came off - or thats who I have in mind.

 

Oh yes, did I imagine it too or did John Gregory have a very unsuccessful loan spell too? I seem to remember him being bloody awful in the game or 2 he played

 

My memory of John Gregory was him playing out-of-position at centre back at home to Tranmere, covering an injury and playing a blinder

Think that game ended 1-1, sure Seagraves equalised in front of the away end, which was absolutely rammed

 

it may've done

 

definitely felt like a defeat

 

remember their keeper, darren ward, saying boltons support/noise whatever, was the most memorable experience in his career

Barnes' last appearance was when substituted at bramall lane by Phil Neal, wasn't it?

He threw his shirt at Neal in disgust.

 

aye. It was 0-0 at HT and we did ok first half.

 

he was the only chink of light in a fucking abysmal 2nd half display. Neal hauled him off

Did we play in Sky Blue that day too?

amazing player

 

ran like he had the ball attached to his shorts on a piece of elastic

Nicky Summerbee was a shite loan signing in our promotion season.

played well at palace and scored I think, that was all

My memory of John Gregory was him playing out-of-position at centre back at home to Tranmere, covering an injury and playing a blinder

 

Flabby bright orange legs. Never forget that.

 

Anyone mentioned Nigel Jemson yet?

Didn't he cost Chelsea over 2 mill in the very early nineties? Big money. They were good times though. Bolton on the rise. Thought the white hot team were untouchable in the cup and Wembley surely beckoned. It did soon enough.

 

 

At the wembley game(league cup final)with my then ten year old daughter..Sat eating spam butties waiting for turnstiles to open,and a drunken Scouser sat next to us waving 500quid at me for my 23quid ticket..Needless to say the offer was declined..Probly snide notes anyway :shiftyninja:

Immediate flashback to my childhood.

Possibly the worst 'invention' ever, but still sold thousands.

2 great players we got on loan/short term deals were Allan Johnston and paul ritche. Did they go on to do ought at Rangers? If I remember did ritche go to city?
