April 7, 201610 yr RIP oo Garry Jones oo Garry Jones..... Best goal I ever saw him score was against Newcastle in the epict FA Cup battle with them. It was in the 3rd game, 2nd replay at Elland Road. He drove into the box, glidded around 2-3 players before slotting the ball home. Unfortunatley for his career he was never the same player following a bad injury to his knee, which eventually ended his playing days. PS I missed his best ever moment when he beat City all by himself. My dad thought i was to young to go to the game with all the City mob in town.
April 7, 201610 yr RIP. Good that the club honoured him recently whilst he was still with us. This, with bells on, and lovely to see so many of his old team mates there for him. My first ever BWFC hero. RIP.

That goal at Newcastle is on the highlights post on here. Can someone put it on here as a tribute?
April 7, 201610 yr And about the City game http://www.citytilidie.com/latest/bolton-wanderers-away-league-cup-3rd-round-1971-to-72/
April 7, 201610 yr RIP Garry Was there when he made himself a legend against City 65 is too young to go; thoughts are with your family
April 7, 201610 yr Was he in LOV for Preston game? RIP All the players were in a box just through the doors from the LOV. He did pass through but most people wouldn't have noticed.
April 7, 201610 yr http://youtu.be/-1GF5arqwqo The first game of the Newcaatle trilogy another Garry Jones goal.
April 7, 201610 yr A player before my time, touching to read the posts in tribute to someone who means a lot to older Whites. R.I.P. Garry Jones.
April 7, 201610 yr RIP Garry. Was there in 71 for the League Cup game, over 40000 on if I remember right - brilliant night time game. Burnden and Manny Rd pretty special at night on match day. Never got to see the 2nd replay v Newcastle stuck on the M621 but that's be done number of times before. Don't think I've ever seen the goals before as we didn't get back in time for the highlights - thanks Burnden (and Garry).
April 7, 201610 yr Will always be remembered,as he should be as a true Bolton legend..got great memories of the mentioned big cup games but also many stalwart performances in the league... Wished they still made them like him!! RIP Garry Jones
April 7, 201610 yr Sad news , great memories particularly the City game. What a night and even better at school the next day..... Week! RIP Garry
April 7, 201610 yr RIP fella thoughts are with his family. This season has just been one long bad dream.
April 7, 201610 yr Very sad news RIP Garry . Was at the second replay at elland rd with the old man who has recently passed great memories of all 3 games . Proper team that was .
April 8, 201610 yr I think it was Garry Jones who scored a famous goal against Rotherham, in the 1972/3 season? Jim McDonagh, then playing for Rotherham, later a Wanderers favourite himself, placed the ball down for a goal kick and Garry, while McDonagh had his back turned, tapped the ball into the net and the goal was given. Jones had been smart enough to realise that the ball was never actually out of play and the ref hadn't signalled a goal-kick If my memory is correct it was at the Lever End, RIP Garry Jones one of my first Bolton heroes
