Leave your kids at home

 

 

 

so was I, travel club wanker

Who was there at Burnden v Rochdale in the freight rover cup?

 

1,507 on.

 

You get a rusty trombone if you were there against Gilligham at the Reebok too when we had 3.5k on.

Yours or someone else's?

Was that when Reevsie scored a hat trick? Was a Tuesday as I went to Student Ritzy afterwards.

I was there when Reevsie got a hat trick. He was on a decent goal scoring run at the time iirc. Think he got injured soon after and we had to sign a new striker on loan. Some guy called Andy Walker who turned out to be half decent for us.

walker wasn't the direct replacement if i recall correctly

 

andy kennedy was brought in

 

then walker

 

kennedy was subbed at exeter and within a minute or two, walker scored

I went to that Exeter game, I always had it in my mind Mike Jeffrey got subbed? The outcome is the same - Walker started his God-like existence for us

the great man agrees with you

 

 

What do you remember about your debut?

 

 

I remember my debut for Bolton very well. It was away to Exeter City and must have been January 1992 and I was so annoyed that Phil Neal had made me a sub.

I had been training with the team for a few days and all I said to Phil was that I was frustrated at Celtic and for that reason was so looking forward to playing some games.

But I came on for Mike Jeffrey in the second half and managed to score after a flick on from Tony Philliskirk. I might have had another but we lost a goal late on and it finished 2-2. That was the beginning of my month-long loan period and I think I scored five goals in six games. Great days!.

Great days. Can you imagine today's mongos reaction to when Exeter beat us at home a few weeks later? Obs Burnden was filled to rafters...

Remember seeing Andy Walker for first time. in 5 years watching Bolton I'd never seen a player kill a pass stone dead. I was amazed.

I failed my moch exams the week after and my dad blamed it on going to Exeter!!

Quite possibly my favourite all time Wanderer. I know we were at a lower level, but the guy just oozed class and was the best finisher we've had in my lifetime I reckon. I know Super John is more of an all time legend but there was just something about Walker. I reckon he was the Freddie Hill of his time - going off what people who saw him say about Freddie.

Same here.

 

He was a class above

Walker > McGinlay.

 

Natural finisher. John was more of a grafter.

Walker was a class or two above our level when he came & as cool as you like in front of goal but I still think Ricketts in his pomp was the best finisher I've seen in a Bolton shirt.

Andy Walker was cool as ice. I was gutted when he left

Thought of Walker as a poor man's Dalglish ( & that's meant as a compliment)

Mods! I think Ryan's been hacking accounts.

Fook off Daz lah!! I'll get me mate Stanley onto you

Calm down, calm down

I was there for the 2-2 draw in 1983.
