January 16, 201115 yr Nat Lofthouse broke my heart in 1958 when he scored in Bolton's F.A.Cup win over Man Utd, but I had the greatest admiration for him as the solid centre forward in the old style. His 30 goals in 33 games for England stand as a testament to his ability, RIP The Lion of Vienna http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/16/nat-lofthouse-bolton-england
January 16, 201115 yr One of the greats of a bygone era. Played in 2 of the most famous FA Cup Finals. The Matthews Final in 1953 when Blackpool came back from 3-1 down to Beat Bolton 4-3. The 1958 Final: Bolton beat Man Utd 2-0 3 months after Munich diaster.His 2nd goal would never have allowed under today's rules. I remember him being featured prominently on TV at Wembley when Bolton lost a playoff to go up to the Premier League.
