I’ve actually heard a different version of that story, from someone who played in the match. JB took the piss as JB did😊. After the match JB was first down the tunnel and was seen climbing out of the changing room window to get away!😊 

Raining on my parade. Don't. I prefer my version !!

Didn’t realize that 3 ex whites were playing for them.

Yep. I mentioned all 3 in the Freddie Hill thread the other day. A strange day for me but it’s when I realised that life, especially football, moves on.

Aye. No secret, an immigrant from Denton.

I'm sure that moving here as a 2 year old means I can now qualify for citizenship. 

Pah. In 20 years you may get a first hearing.

So do I😊

Think Chelsea rained on our parade in the 4th round.  1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge but they hammered us in the replay.

Before my time but I often heard it spoken of in reverential terms.  That paper fanzine in the mid 80s (Wanderers Worldwide?) did a great piece on it once.  Some bloke swearing that you could hear the roar in Queens Park.

If the wind was in the right direction i wouldn’t doubt it - it’s probably only a couple of miles as the crow flies.

Dunno about that as i was only about 5 but the FA cup game v Newcastle a couple of years later, you could deffo hear the roar on Haslem Park and that was further from Burnden than Queens park I'd reckon.

With favourable winds you could probably hear the Burnden roar anywhere in Bolton. Certainly I remember hearing it in Harwood.

This.

I remember when Chorley beat wolves at burnden, not a massive crowd on, but still heard Chorley scoring in the furthest fringes of Breightmet.

Fantastic night and a great atmosphere, I remember singing oh Gary oh Gary Gary Jones all day at school the following day.

Was absolutely skint , someone at work suggested going early to the ground & volunteer for programme selling this being a guarantee of entry into the ground.

Went down straight from work & duly received a bag full of programmes to sell 

Got in Manny rd North , only time I ever watched a game from there ,fantastic night given our Div 3 status.
