SatanGreavsie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Looking over the "wee push" video, no doubt that Big John wasn't shy with having it out on the pitch. Who else would say was no nonsense player as such. Stig Tofting? SKD? Gerry Taggart? Who and why... discuss. A London White who went to some poorly (away) attended Chelsea game remembers Stig turning up with the Bolton fans alongside some dodgy looking Danish mates. As the Chelsea lot were giving our lot grief during the game (presumably for being well ahead) Stig was seen pointing and making eye contact with cockney piss takers and giving it the slit throat gesture.

stevieb Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I remember thinking fairclough was a beast back in the day Taggart for running the length of the pitch to join in a ruck. Stig for being a complete mentalist. Andy todd for being a mentalist and only getting picked because his dad was manager. Kevin Davies for not being a soft as shit Nancy boy.

kent_white Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 My mate used to play in the youth team back when we were at Burnden Park. According to him Gudni Bergsson was the one person at the club who nobody messed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Dave Sutton was pretty nails. As was Colin Hendry. Both did it all with their heads. They would both knowingly head the back of people heads if they knew they couldn't get to the ball first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondi Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I remember once reading a tale about Mark Gavin, remember him? Skinny winger back in the 80's. Apparently some Bolton fans were getting slapped off some York City fans at Bootham Crescent and Gavin witnessed this, he came steaming over, wearing his suit and waded into the York fans, that's class! Andy Todd would take some beating in a street fight though, pretty sure he was a black belt in Karate and mix that with him being a nutter, can't see him coming worse off tbh.

oggybwfc Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Don't think I would liked a crack off Jahidi looking back at this thread you could pick an 11 that would win any fight on the pitch and spread some bodies in any away end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat near Gavin that day when he came over in to the stand. I was only about 12 at the time so my memory is a bit hazy of the day but I seem to remember it was only handbags and over with in no time. The game just as forgettable too, think we lost by a couple and it was probably our relegation season - late on too, April time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
