  • Watched him hundreds of times at Burnden. Not only a fierce tackler but he had a thunderous shot to. The only time he ventured over the half way line was to take our free kicks just outside the penalt

  • It's times like this you realise what a Class outfit we support.

RIP Roy

 

Top guy

RIP  One of my Dads favourites.

R I P a true wanderer.

Didn't want to open the thread just knew it was bad news only in his company once or twice and a real lovely gentleman belying his tough teakness. Another of the 58 team leaves us and another true BWFC legend RIP.

You'll always be a part of the fabric of our great club. A key cog in one of the most feared back lines in footballing history. Just ask Jimmy Greaves. Though I never saw you play, from the stories passed down from my Dad and Grandad, I feel like I've lost an old friend tonight. RIP Roy and thanks for the honours and wonderful memories you leave behind.

RIP Roy. Another one gone from the great 58 team ,in the same mould as nat a true gent nothing to Mutch trouble for him ,will be sadly missed

R.I.P Mr Hartle, by all accounts a man mountain of a player alongside Tommy Banks. Not a duo any player would like to come up against I'm told, a sad sad loss. Enjoy your tipple and catch-up with Sir Nat

The one tackle he missed. R.I.P.

I was brought up listening to my Dad's admiration & respect for the likes of Hartle & Banks.

 

R.I.P Bolton legend, Roy Hartle.

Another of my heroes gone. He was a man mountain if you got passed him once you'd done well,if you tried it again you ended up in the running track. Seen many a left winger shaking at the thought of Roy coming in to tackle em.

R.I.P.  Roy and thanks.

Roy 'chopper' Hartle  R.I.P

RIP, Mr Hartle.

 

My fond & proud memories of the 50s Wanderers are fading fast.

RIP

 

Grew up listening to tales about him from my dad.

RIP Roy. A Wanderer and a gentleman.

Opened this thread expecting the worst. I'm a 25 year old man; what the fuck do I know?! I tell you what I know, Roy was a fucking hard bastard that played hundreds of games for the club I love. RIP doesn't even cut it. I particularly like the comment about going for a beer with Nat.
