I didn't even see Bolton shirts for sale anywhere just down the road in Manchester, seriously, not even in that brilliant 2nd hand football shirt shop just off st Anne's square, and they had shirts from all over the world. Just buy a United or Liverpool shirt like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were loads of them mate, classic strips as well, brought the memories back, and of course you can buy City shirts in all sports shops in Manchester, and at the Etihad, and probably throughout the North-West I would guess. You can even buy them in Central, sportsworld, etc, here. Buy a United or Liverpool shirt, they're everybodies 2nd team aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I meant. We are ditching them after this season, so it will be the U18s then. Brentford, whose Moneyball template we are rumoured to be copying, have no U23s but do have a B team, reserves in all but name. I haven't read up on them much but they play European B teams in friendly matches and are reckoned to have a good record. Worth mentioning as they could well be a Premier League team next season, whenever that may be. They will be in their new stadium too.

Bredbury Blue Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Did you see Ryhl FC went out of business the other day, old club I believe. Very sad when clubs die like that. Anybody remember the days of re-election? It was always the same clubs: Rochdale, Torquay, Aldershot, Barrow. Think they are all still going.

Barrow look nailed on for getting back into the league. Bolton fans already looking forward to a big day out when we play at their place. Your lot might still end up playing them too if you suffer the Rangers treatment. How is your appeal going?

Bredbury Blue Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Franny Lee's 75th birthday today Champers. Are you old enough to seen him in a Bolton shirt? I could have picked from many of his goals but i will always remember this game / goal - he was ON FIRE on his return to Maine Road - and "look his face, just look at his face" famous commentary. Derby became First Division champions (and ManU became Second Division champions) that season. Great player; underrated i reckon by all fans except those of City and Derby.

Simple answer really. In the 70s i was a season ticket holder and went to all home games and many away games, finals, etc., and i grew up with the 70s team. In the 80s i lived outside Manchester so didn't get to every game, didn't see every game. In the 90s i was living overseas and either didn't see City's games or only highlights, especially when i was living in Oz (i had to make do with reading 'British Soccer Weekly', which was a week late by the time they were reporting, or City Programmes wrapped up in the Pink sent to me). We weren't all born in the internet era Rick.

champers Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I saw Franny Lee play but was very young. He played alongside Freddie Hill and Wyn Davies, both of whom also ended up at Maine Road. Franny made his debut at 16 alongside an ageing Nat Lofthouse and reputedly gave the great man an earful for not passing to him. He never doubted himself. Was great at City alongside the Korean Lee Won Pen. The original diver? Mike Sheron tormented Bolton when he played for Bury. Not a prolific scorer for a striker but a classy player at 3rd tier level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
