18 Years Ago Today!

[DomRepWanderer]

Saw one of the greatest games I have ever witnessed, Bruce Riochs Bolton came back from the brink to beat Reading in the playoff final, that day was the best I have ever felt as a Wanderers fan, amazing weekend.

[freds dad]

I was nearly thrown out when we were 2-0 down for fighting with fan behind me who was slagging the team off. There were even folk leaving but the penalty save turned the game.

 

One of my top 5 Bolton games.

[Naytch]

I can remember watching the game at home, i was only about 8 at the time and hiding my face when the penalty was taken haha

 

Amazing game. What I would give to be at a game like that now, getting promotion in a thriller like that

I was ready to go of my own accord at 0-2 and a pen to them

[wayne cramp]

I remember the bloke next to me waking me up as the penalty was about to be taken. a couple of shandys had been consumed prior to k.o. .

Me and my mates all said "If this penallty goes in, we're off" and we would have left without a doubt if we had been 3:0 down

[tomski]

Best game ever, that save and the whole ground knew we would win.

Wasn't their winner offside??

nearly half my life ago

 

remember like it was yesterday

 

upper tier behind the goal

 

every 2 mins in the 2nd half, just looking at mi watch and saying to mi mate, we ain't going to do this

 

then that slow motion moment as the defraitas shot rolled in in front of us

 

nowt will ever match it

[gonzo]

Best day of my life, I'm sure.

Aye bad that.

 

Great to see they learnt their lesson from it mind.

yeah lee nogan,sure he missed the pen at wembley

[paulhanley]

When that pen was missed I actually said "That could be the turning point". Thing is, I didn't actually mean a word of it!!

Remember talking at half time about how another season in Division 2 probably wouldn't harm us and we were probably well short of what was required in the Prem.....

 

It was all done with loads of injuries too. Quite a few first teamers were missing that day.

[burndenpaddock]

Amazing game. Just as our 3rd goal went in, a big fella was walking up to his seat in front of us, both hands full of pies and fag hanging out of his mouth. He got caught up in the mayhem when we scored and fell over, pies and fag up the air and he cracked his head on the stairs in front of me. I thought he'd done himself some real damage but he started crawling up the stairs, covered in blood, and reached under my chair, picked up his fag, put it in his mouth and joined in the mental celebrations! He spent the rest of the match, covered in pie and a blood soaked tshirt round his head.

Proper fan!

[Traf]

What flavour pie was it?

[burndenpaddock]

I forgot to ask. It didn't look like a balti so I'm guessing meat & potato

[anewman]

I was in zambia, didn't know for 6 weeks that we had been promoted

[Carlos]

Shit fan.

 

We were up at fucking silly o'clock, vodka and whizz on the way back, JD in Cheers, rest was a bit of a blur. Watched the game again when I got in, tape cut out at 4-2. Chucked up in my bin. Happy days.
