Baba O'Riley Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Remember that game, stood on Embankment, losing 1-0, and all but relegated despite several months of season remaining. Willed on by a sub 10k crowd we pummelled the Cider 'eds with no luck until Greavo pops up in the last few mins to earn a point, and Burnden celebrated like we'd won the league, superb! Played against him once, and having left me in a heap in the centre-circle, his parting shot was "you'll have to be stronger than that, cock, bloke your size". I was in awe! Quote

trurotrotter Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Aye, I'm glad he's not the only one he gave 30 years to and still ran fuckin rings round them. He once also drafted Peter Nicholson into that Monteraze team....not in the same class as Greavo...right dirty whingin bastard and he didn't own a pub you could get pissed in after!! Quote
leigh white Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Mick Walsh was a great bloke to have a natter with when he had the Richmond pub in Southport, went in by chance and clocked him, and i mithered him to death, a really sound person and loved talking about Bolton. Quote
