The Diouf saga continues unabated. Never have I seen a player turn from Hero to Villain after just one match. I really had thought that he was beginning to put his troubles behind him, knuckle down and turn-on the football. Which he did - for the...
Gudni Bergsson sneaked into our 1995 Coca Cola Cup Final preparations almost unheard of, after signing from Spurs where he'd drifted out of their first team set up. Originally signed as a right back it was at centre half where Gudni really excelled. In value for money terms - we...
Who could forget that day 29th May 2001. Bolton had just beaten Preston to reach the premiership and we all knew that a battle to stay there loomed and so it proved to be. I remember looking at the paper and reading that Big Sam had signed Youri Djorkaeff until...
Over the last couple of months I have been working in the South East of England. Not exactly what you’d call a footballing hotbed. In fact, there isn’t really a football culture down there at all. For example, if you put a football match on in a pub in Bolton,...
When Sasa Curcic left at the end of the 95/96 season, many thought he couldn’t be bettered, no one could replace him. Then we bought two Danes as a package from FC Copenhagen – Michael Johansen and Per Frandsen. People are generally surprised that Smurf cost a good £700,000 more...
10th September 1983 BOLTON WANDERERS 8 WALSALL 1 It was electrician Tony Caldwell, the Wanderers’ part-time footballer, who lit up Burden Park with a personal goalscoring feat that set a new club record, that is still current (I think), in this 3rd Division encounter. Yes this was when they were proper divisions...
In case you've been living in the sticks for the past few months, last week Tal Ben Haim was cleared of any impropriety by the FA. This related to the match against Manchester United where Wayne 'Colleen's tool' Rooney struck Haim in retaliation for a rough tackle. Tal hit the...
It may be hard to imagine now but not so long ago black footballers frequently faced monkey noises and racist chants from crowds, and racial abuse from opponents. These things don’t happen any more, right? Players from all over the world, of all colours and creeds, now play in the...
Having now seen that as ever SH is impervious to fact or reasoned argument I have added [bold] some counter arguments...... England players subjected to monkey noises in Spain, Dwight Yorke called a lazy black b*****d at Ewood Park. Shock, horror! Football is sickened by the actions of mindless morons....
JUST IN CASE I OFFEND ANYONE I'M SORRY! IT ISN'T MY INTENTION Now, I’m not sure that disclaimer will apply to my following comments, but in case some people think that what I have written is racist then I'm sorry because it’s not supposed to be. And I think that’s...
