Only scored 14 goals.

 

Thought it would be more than that.

 

I recall he was never a great goal scorer for us, but he was a scorer of great goals. I would have thought he scored more than just 14 though, was that just league goals though maybe?  -  I'm sure Diddles will be along with the correct numbers shortly.

He was our captain, our free kick and corner taker, our thrower, our providier and without a doubt our most skilful player to ever wear the Bolton and potentially a Premier league team shirt. So good they named him twice.

Fantastic years to be a white and we'll never see that again. We were basically where those in the twilight of their career chose instead of swanning off to China these days.

 

Us offering 30k a week was massive. You get that being in City's "elite development squad" (probably).

The only player I can compare dribbling, trickery and unique wise is Ronaldinho, both were amazing entertainment, others player may have done more than JJ, but skill/ability wise, he's no.1.

I fucking love him, did he ever score a tap in?

 

Remember going to a pre season friendly v Burnley on my jack jones and being unaware we'd signed him. He was not fit at the time but trying everything (shooting from 40 yards and trying to dribble round everyone)

I think I said words to the effect 'who's this fucking idiot'

 

The idiot turned out to be the best BWFC player I've ever seen. Youri's the second. Tony Caldwell third.

He was 28 when we signed him.

 

He left us to go to Qatar.

West Ham at home was one of most I've celebrated a goal. I was right behind the line of the ball, as soon as it left his boot it was in. Tbf he hit it that hard, hardly took anytime anyway

My favourite Jay Jay memory is his performance at White Hart Lane in 2003. He was absolutely on top of his brilliant game that day and did everything bar score. It was his shot that was parried for Nolan to tap in for our winner though. Just brilliant. 

 

As mentioned, the screamer v West Ham ... plus of course his free kick in the all important last day win over Middlesbrough.

Frank Worthy was always my favorite player until this guy turned up, what a footballer

 

Met him at the legends do had my photo taken on my phone which is now my screen saver

 

Took a photo of him and Little Whitt but couldn't get them both on the screen and cut JJ's head off, LW wasn't amused
