Bolton back in business. Maybe it was Bongser’s choice of music, maybe it was the ghost of your Uncle Eddie (if his surname was Davies). There’s a third fellah on here that will also be mightily relieved.

Funnily enough Bongser’s first three (Association) footy matches were also in the ’72-’73 season at Burnden. A former customer of your correspondent, the late Jimmy Armfield was at the helm, skipper was Warwick Rimmer and Charlie Wright was between the sticks. Two draws against Cardiff and Hull and then the end of season Third Division Championship clincher. Stuart Lee (who IBRC had bagged a hat-trick the match before) scored another two with Peter Nicholson scoring the other. Bongser, some years later, shared a few pints with PN as we watched BWFC play on a big screen in a pub in South Mcr – the only two Bolton fans in there – Peter was by that point working as a chippy in Northenden but still had the odd kick-about with Reidy and Fun-Time Franky W).

That winning 3-0 last game of the season was over York City which steers this thread nicely back onto our last regular season home game against York City Knights.

I’m not a football fan , maybe watched around 8 matches live,but the Greatest goal I have ever seen was scored by Frank Worthington,he had his back to the opposition goal , a few kicks,one over his head and hits a volley into the net Classic, don’t know who it was against .
