paulhanley Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just spotted this sad news. A bit before my time but Syd is spoken of fondly by Bolton fans who witnessed the 60s at the club. You only need to look at the stats to appreciate that he's a significant club servant. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/20123116.ex-bolton-wanderers-shrewsbury-tranmere-defender-syd-farrimond-dies-aged-81/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I saw Syd play, very steady and fairly quick. He played first team football for us for 12 years and made over 400 appearances. Rip Syd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted May 13, 2022 Members Share Posted May 13, 2022 Really sad news. The first back four I can recall watching was Hartle, Hulme, Hatton, Farrimond. Some of my very first footballing heroes. RIP Syd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
