There have been some great players born in Bolton and district (yes that includes Farnworth) who have never played for BWFC.

I'll start with one, you name the rest.

Here is mine:

 Tommy Lawton

Great shout that.  Phil Stant was a really top lower division striker, would have suited us perfectly at the time.

500 games for 21 clubs over 23 years

Proper journeyman

193 goals

Think I played against Hulme's  back in the day, think it was either Rocket or Top of the Brow, they were good team but for some reason they usually struggled to beat us, was fun playing them on home territory especially as we were LH team.

Definitely. Both his parents are from Bolton families & he was brought up here.

He did play with Bolton Juniors until about 13 and then United came calling. 

Without fear of a backlash do the neville bell ends count as they were born in a BL postcode

Oliver Norburn

Keith Welch

Keith Welch

Wanderers Youth Team?

Used to play with Stan when we were kids, he was a bit of a soft arse & a titliner in those days, God lad though. Certainly toughened him up in the army 😁

Simon Barker

Jay Fulton

Not really a hotbed of football talent. Thing we need to cast our net wider

Ollie Norburn - ran the show for Shrewsbury against us.

Agree tommy Lawton was the one that got away read is autobiography and all he wanted to do was play for club as a kid Bolton tried to sign him but Burnley tapped is dad up offered him a job as grounds man assistant and gave them a   house so is dad said your going there . Also nats hero growing up both went to castle hill school
