He’s done well for himself and his platform is based on supporting us, who he clearly loves. My two boys (9 and 12, total Bolton fans) love him and his vlogs. He appeals to the young fans because he knows his market, kids who are well into Bolton/youtube/instagram whatever, he appeals to them. I’ve chatted to him a few times and he’s genuinely a Bolton fan. As far as I’m concerned he’s part of our way forward. A genuine fan of a family club that loves engaging with its fans. I hope it continues like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campos_Wig Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 My youngest (15) met Thogdan at the Cambridge match, he still goes on about it. The lad is raising our profile (along with Paddy & Vernon) so it’s all good…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) No problems with him whatsoever. Met him at Preston away a year or two back, he seemed a decent enough lad tbh.

Not sure that’s right mate. Not mad either way. personally think it’s a bit weird anyone over 12 likes him and at the same time claims to hate him Edited April 29, 2023 by tomski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not obvious that the kid was put on the spot at all. It's a 19 second clip ffs. The kid could have gone up to him beforehand and said that he wanted to give him this glove. Calling him a "fucking weasel" is a bit harsh on the evidence provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that video when Evatt phones into Radio 2 to congratulate Vernon Kaye on his new job - along with the other BBC Bolton presenters - Mark Ratcliffe, the blonde and ....Clive Myrie. Who knew Clive Myrie was from Bolton? I didn't and I'd never have guessed from his accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Radcliffe and he definitely went to the Boys Division - was a mate of my younger brother's and used to have a record stall before he got in with the BBC where his dad worked. When I worked abroad in the late 70's a load of my albums were awol when I got back and I'm convinced they'd ended up on his market stall. If anyone bought a pristine copy of Wheels of Fire off him I want it back Edited May 21, 2023 by Wanderlust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestar Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Mate of mine was in same class as Clive, i wasn't clever enough to go to the grammar school but knew him through the rugby team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I did go to a posh school, got a top education, worked in some fairly high profile jobs in various countries and married a posh bird but still my Bowton accent comes through - but not a trace of it in Clive Myrie as far as I can tell. Also noticeable that when I did some media work, my recorded voice seemed to accentuate my accent - I sounded a lot broader on radio or telly (than I think I do normally) so why doesn't his accent ever seem to come through? Maybe he has a reinvented personality for media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Similar to myself. I've worked all across the UK & Ireland. In Holkand, Italy & Israel. Plus the US from California to Philadelphia, Chicago to Texas. I've managed lots of people all over the place. Done a little TV work. By now I have a less identifiably 'Bolton' accent (well, Council House Horwich tbh) but it's undeniably North-West. I proudly stuck with my 'book, cook, look' accent & calling the Co'-Op the 'qwaarp' for a very long time, but one day realised I didn't. To become as refined as Myrie takes effort and, almost more importantly, a decision. A bit like supporting Citeh rather than Bowton. Ratcliffe even explains it in his autobiography. He was in class with a vg mate of mine & the fckr actually changed horses around age 14. They can still f'cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads made himself very rich by posting videos of himself at Bolton games. What the fuck is wrong with that? Spoke to him after Barnsley and at the Cambridge match. Seems a throughly nice and grounded lad. Not sure northern folk should be shit slinging about accents either tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
