Sweep Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing you were too young to watch him? I can only remember 2 goals against Gretna, that goal at Wembley and one against Wolves where he confused everyone including himself. He was shit, popular lad as he ran about a lot and smiled, but shit. Everton away in the cup sticks in the mind as well, other than that.....meh Edited June 3, 2016 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted June 3, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2016 Oh aye, that and Arsenal at home. That's 50% of his goals for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowball Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Owen Coyle wasn't a good player for us, lets have it straight. He was well liked, but not rated. Spot on that, Bolton 'legend' my arse. I remember at the time he was a bit of a joke at first, three stone wet through and clearly out of his depth, the chances he missed drew comparison to the legendary Ian Moores. He was shite. But he tried and as we all know God loves a trier so eventually the fans liked him, cheering him on like you would the fat kid in the school sack race. I rate him one of the worst strikers we signed during that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plums Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Why did loads of our fans sing "Ginger Mourinho" ?We used to have a laugh at the game sometimes.. Then people went and actually thought we weren't being sarcastic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) If coyle wasn't a very good player why did 90% of an away stand at Burnley chant his name?Half the end at Bristol were singing Nicky Hunt should play up front. Owen Coyle was a cult hero not a legend imo. Folk remember him well because he always put a shift in and the goals he did score were pretty important ones. And he was part of the best era in a lot of fans lifetime. Much the same as stelios. Edited June 3, 2016 by gonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk remember him well because he always put a shift in and the goals he did score were pretty important ones. And he was part of the best era in a lot of fans lifetime. Much the same as stelios. I'd agree with that. I remember prior to the play off final v Reading when I was about 13 - we lived in one of those terrace houses near the lights on Wigan Rd opposite Shell garage. Super John used to live on Beaumont Chase opposite and we'd always shout over to him as he was leaving for training and we were on our way to School. Just before our trip to Wembley - I put a load of flags and scarves in the window of our house facing the stationary cars at the lights. I remember one day my Mum calling me into the front room as there was a bloke beeping his horn - looked out of the window and it was Owen Coyle with his big cheesey grin giving it the thumbs up. Can't beat memories like that when you're a kid. Little touches like that are reasons we become fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Coyle wasn't shit He was an alright Championship level striker. Nice touch but weak as piss. He was part of an amazing time at the club; Everton away for example.... Typical BiPolarways, he was either shite or a legend....whereas in reality he was in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 His goal v Arsenal was the reason I got into football and supporting Bolton, so I loved him as a player. Did an awful lot to tarnish that in the latter stages of his time in charge of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
