On this day two years ago Aaron Wilbraham wrote his name in history by scoring one of the most important goals in our history.

That goal was absolute class! 

The long goal kick, flick on, the run by Le fondre and cross,,,,, but what a run by Wilbraham, the way he angled out then turned inwards and lost his marker was fantastic and a lesson for all young strikers.

i never tire of watching that goal.

we should have our own bank holiday in Bolton every year called Wilbraham Day.😊

Amazing day and night, the best ever. Never thought a home game would ever trump some of the experiences we've had at away games or abroad.

That photo of Wilbraham connecting with the header should be a huge black and white image in the entrance to the stadium, transcript of Dearden's commentary should be on a long banner between the two tiers of the East Stand. Those two pitch invasions really made the stadium feel like ours, after so many years.

I took a still of that moment that The ball hit the back of the net n put it on my Facebook page.

i spotted myself in the background jumping to my feet!

STILL GOT IT! 😁

Shame what season followed 

A mate of mine went home at half time and wrote us off. 

 

He supports Salford now

 

I remember looking round, waiting for a flag to be raised. Just didn't sink in. Amazing

That is bleak.

In that case, shouldn’t that read “former mate”?

Still get chills when I think about that day. 

I'd already resigned myself to relegation when we went 2-1 down so hadn't been checking on how Burton or Barnsley were getting on.  Dearden's commentary still gives me goosebumps but the moment is still behind Frandsens goal against Middlesbrough for me. Just 

Salford aka man ure part 3 

Unbelievable day. The celebrations when it went in are just a blur. Faces and arms everywhere. Went out in Manchester after the game. Didn't stop smiling.

My lads first game was Wednesday away when he scored in injury time.  He instantly became his hero as he was "launched about by randomers".

Forest at home will live with him forever.

Its why we go to football.

 

An incredible moment. Will never forget it

With his dad, mam, sister... Whole clan

Amazing day and the celebrations afterwards were something else. 

However...

I didn’t appreciate that goal as much as others at the time (wished I did), as I wasn’t 100% sure that other results had gone in our favour. Surely can’t have been the only one. 

Out walking and discovered that there’s a Wilbraham St not far from me. Today of all days 😅

Saw the teamsheet... Wilbraham what the fuck is he playing at... 

Amazing game. One of my favourite football experiences 

Saint Aaron Day. Patron Saint of last minute winners.

I was very very close to staying in the hotel when I saw the team sheet. Maybe Parky knows his onions

Correct - like the Matthews final. The main mon without being the main scoring hero.

Lets face it, Wilbo was past his best and is a L1 striker at best - hence the reason why he hardly played

Sad that, his dad was my oppo back at Burnden, he’s also moved over to Salford. They’ll soon get fed up with shite served up, I hope we smash their shithole up when we get there. Get your boxing gloves on for that one. 😂

Yep the role le fondre played won’t be forgotten in a hurry.

the way he wheeled away after putting that cross in and ran over to the bench (?) says to me that he knew (we all do) that he put it on a plate and set up the Wilbraham wonder goal

There were two lads who sat behind me that season and they stayed until the final whistle every single week without fail.

That day they left a couple of minutes after Forest scored their second.
