September 18, 201312 yr Don't know if it's wise to type full names on here. I do know who Linda and Vanessa are/were though. Dust want a PM lad? I'll sleep, as long as Hoggy and Nessa lived happily ever after.
September 18, 201312 yr 1969-70-ish that entire area around Queens Park was ***i bashing central. Used to be fucking mental. They'd be playing cricket and loads of Bolton skins, bootboys etc. would be lurking in the rhodedendrons until the 'Charge!' shout went out. First one in usually ended up with a broken arm or similar through being daft enough to pick out the nearest batsman. Looking back, it was an endless cycle of fighting on the terraces, fighting at the Palais and other nightclubs throughout the North West, chasing the poor ***i's around and then feytin' greasy, leather clad bastards on boring 'off' days where there was no football or night club to attend so we had fook all to do. Can't speak for Zulu or others who were on the scene at that time but I remain astonished that I only have relatively few scars having negotiated all of that. Never a dull moment the kids today don't know what there missing.
September 18, 201312 yr I'll sleep, as long as Hoggy and Nessa lived happily ever after. Wouldn't know mate. All I do know is that would have been, ahem, well worn by the time they were 25!
September 18, 201312 yr Never a dull moment the kids today don't know what there missing. Probably sounds mad but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Character building
September 18, 201312 yr Can't speak for Zulu or others who were on the scene at that time but I remain astonished that I only have relatively few scars having negotiated all of that. Sounds like you were hanging around the back rather than getting stuck in
September 18, 201312 yr Remember " Halliwell Car Sharks " sprayed around Skagen Court area early 90's. Remember that and 'AB Bushwhackers' round Halliwell & Astley Bridge too.
September 18, 201312 yr Is there a link to that BEN report? we played the Bolton Asians on that pitch near the Nevada about 50 of them on the line many with cricket bats just the 12 of us the game lasted 1/2 hour when one of our lads took exception to a bad challenge, it was like Zulu as we all retreated with haste into the back of a box van to safety. it was in the Bolton News recently,think it was actually in the paper in mid August. if you delve into the looking back section you'll soon find it pal. the near riot happened after a very well known Morris Green lad was beaten unconscious the week before. 200 lads mobbed up in the Stag on Daubhill and marched down the road smashing all and sundry in our way,then marched down the bottom end of Deane and repeated ''our heroics'' it was when everybody used to frequent Carrington's on sunday nights

September 18, 201312 yr that was about 84 ??? the one in the paper was 88 pal without a doubt,though there were earlier riots down daubhill,prob about 81/82,83
September 18, 201312 yr the one in the paper was 88 pal without a doubt,though there were earlier riots down daubhill,prob about 81/82,83 Aye, in 82 it went off after an altercation at the top end of Lever Edge outside Hayward Green. On our way to a basketball match at Canon Slade we got surrounded by the 'locals.' Chased off a few with a monkey wrench but a couple of the lads took a pasting. I was driving us at the time. Gave evidence but nowt came of it. Thankfully all in the past!
September 19, 201312 yr Sounds like you were hanging around the back rather than getting stuck in Correct. Wouldn't want me barnet ruffled now would I?
September 19, 201312 yr From what I heard, he hung around the back to get stuck in. What happened in our room in Skopje, sweetcheeks, has nothing to do with 70's disorder
September 19, 201312 yr Sounds like you were hanging around the back rather than getting stuck in I seem to remember that it was very difficult, if not impossible, to get to the heart of the action as quick as Bolty! I have hundreds of stories about what we got up to in the early and mid 1970's. I could bore your tits off - but I won't! Times have changed thankfully. I wouldn't have missed it for the world though. Zulu, too fucked to fight.

Thank you for that ringing endorsement, Mr Lever End DMZ I lost count of the number of times the gap would open up between two rows of OB holding back hordes of baying savages and who would pop up in the between the two rows of coppers every time? I think we know who, don't we V Usually in a very smart pale yellow or maroon Fred, Royals and giving it the big 'Come on then' to the opposition. Almost became your party trick.
September 19, 201312 yr Iirc Morris green lad got done outside cross guns I was in carringtons that following Sunday and by fuck that was one naughty mob Edited September 19, 201312 yr by 1969
September 19, 201312 yr The Chinese wall. that brings back memories from my youth. I too remember it being huge! The wall was built along with the railway in about 1870! the line ran parralel to it.
September 20, 201312 yr Iirc Morris green lad got done outside cross guns I was in carringtons that following Sunday and by fuck that was one naughty mob that's correct pal. word had gone round at Burnden the previous day,think we beat Bristol Rovers 1-0,when they had that useless freak Devon White playing for them. tremendous turnout from the chaps to get revenge for what the Abduls did to IL from Morris Green
September 20, 201312 yr remember walking in and thinking oh shit what the fuck have i walked into then saw a few familiar faces and my arse breathed a huge sigh of relief
