No games..also noted my very first game wasn't listed March 9 1946, I was two, and the Burnden disaster was on that date so maybe I'm doing it wrong or records don't go back that far.

I was born on Friday 5 November 1954. On 6 November we drew 2-2 with Arsenal at Burnden Park. Two other notable Division 1 results were Wolves 5-0 Burnley and Portsmouth 5-0 Everton.
Result of the day happened in Division 2 at Ewood Park where Blackburn Rovers thumped Middlesbrough 9-0.

Is this a very clever way of fishing for personal information?

Summer '85 so Everton were runaway champions by 13pts from Liverpool. Bolton had finished 17th in Division Three. Some wine collector called Alex Ferguson had just won back to back titles with Aberdeen.
Number One was a version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" by The Crowd.
So, all bad stuff.

Tuesday 14th November 1989 - Bolton drew 1-1 A.E.T against Swindon Town in the 2nd Replay of the League Cup 3rd Round. Sounds thrilling.

Yeah - I was there, too!
That was the one that Barry Cowdrill had a goal disallowed for offside, after he shot from just over the halfway line. I think either Philliskirk or Reeves was in an offside position. Would have stood today....
The pre-cursor to our epic giant-killings of the 90s...
