Between which years would you say Bolton had their finest mob(s)?

In recent years it has been horrendous to see the likes of Wigan, Burnley, Blackburn Preston et al take the piss at our place. 

Which years would these teams have dreaded most a visit from Bolton. 
On our day how did we compare to our neighbours and more notorious mobs like stoke, Birmingham, Sheffield United? 
Were we known Nationally for having a bad reputation?

Haha don't know about that P if you'd seen the speed he was walking the last time I saw him at a match this season! Don't tell him I said that though please. 

I won't mate. I know a couple of years back one of the big NS Dj's from down here (originally Chorley, now Estepona) was up for a Twisted Wheel Reunion and the lad was there doing his thing. Also at Rumworth Labour Club?

Time takes it toll though so who knows.

Time indeed does take its toll, most of the lads I think of when I remember the mad days of the early seventies will now be fast approaching seventy years old fuck me .

Anyone remember a lad who went by the nickname of Dapper? H/well lad i think, longish ginger hair. Always seemed a bit of a character in the Lever end in the 70’s and led a lot of the chants as did Tony Brooks. Never saw him again after we left Burnden.

No Mounts,  Des was in the year above me at Smithills school (Thicko division) + i know him well, his buddy at school was G.O'C who a few on here will know. Dapper was way before Damper - early to mid 70's Lever ender.

No mate, you've got him mistaken for a Little Hulton lad who posts on here whilst pretending to be a glory hunting fan

I was once introduced to a lad who was FD's right hand man. Wer were in the Clifton  Arms in town which my mate's mum ran.

He was introduced as Ginger but had a red and white bob hat rolled up to become a skull cap. 

Is this coincidence or same lad? 

FD hung about with ginger and villa in the lever end days

I think thats the same Ginger that does some Northern Soul DJ’ ing and organises the scooter runs.

Ginger lived in Atherton, went a few away games with us in the early 70s, after the Preston game on the long walk back to the station, a mob of Preston appeared in front, Ginger had a brolly and waded in, they soon backed off.

Anyone got a good account of chesterfield away 86. Few good clips on YouTube Bolton in their end. And police wading into Bolton section.

I’d think Miami, might have a story about that one.

Dont think so as the person I am thinking of was usually with a Warbie called Guy especially at aways but then again I'm referring to early seventies so he might have graduated from Guy to someone even tougher maybe FD?

Maybe two different people. I'm guessing there aren't too many red heads who aren't referred to as ginger as a nick name.
