Utter scum bags. At least we got the win. I’ve just remembered one thing that many of the Man U fans went home at HT the embankment emptied well before the 90 minutes was up, but still can’t remember the bloody game. 

I was in the manny road paddock, surrounded by the fuckers, but it was eerily empty with 15 mins to go

I was at all three, the DMB match, Blackburn and that goal and was in awe of Frank. I had the white shirt with Umbro trim which was worn all the time and then stored in my mums loft until she moved and threw it all out.

I also wagged an afternoon off school to go to the opening of his clothes shop in town.

Thanks for the memories Frank.  RIP.

Was his shop on Mawdsley St?

I can’t remember but it was called Daglish and there’s a photo of Frank and Kenny outside it.

think it was too posh and expensive for Bolton and kept getting broke into, so didn't last long

Don't think you'd much change out of £150m for the pair

Timeless Genius.

Top Division Top Scorer in a 17th placed (and soon to be relegated) team? What a hallmark of a true great.

I was still being tied into my rocking chair and drinking from a Tommy-Tippee cup then, not stood on the terrace dressed like a Bay City Roller.

Unfortunately.

I'd been misinformed, corrected.

I have a rocking chair but no-one to tie me in. 🙁

I still have the other one somewhere but it may be a bit small for me now.

Relegated season after - and I think wasnt Alan Gowling high up in the scoring charts as well

Yes I think I completely missed 1980 , beer and amphetamines. 

For those who’ve never seen Frankies pre match warm up which he did in front of the Burnden paddock. Here you go.

Some good quotes from BW players in this article for anyone that's not seen it.

As an aside, Peter Nicholson reminisces about that volley Worthy scored at City in 78/79 and claims to have put the cross in, it was Roy Greaves!  And he thought Reid equalised with a pen, but that was a different game a year later when Worthy had left.  I remember that game as my first ever away game, was sat in City end, their fans singing "City are back" when Tueart put them 2 up.  Loved it when we came back to 2-2 with Reid's last minute pen.

Well before my time but loving all the FW stuff that is being shared at the moment

This is ace but cringeworthy, I was probably watching Bagpuss and Hartley the Hare when this was on.

see what i did there.

i didn't.

My favourite isn't on that routine but he used to stick the ball behind his right boot and drag the ball up his calf with his left boot and flick it over his head onto his left instep

He wasn't a bad un
