Since Jussi joined Bolton....

[Leyther_Matt]

Not sure about anyone else, but Jussi first joining Bolton seems almost a lifetime ago, so I thought it would be interesting to see what's happened in the time since he first signed.

In terms of personal milestones, I was in my final year at Primary School (!) when he signed in November(?) 1997. I'm now 25 with a 4 year old son!

Some Bolton related milestones to realise how long ago it was when Jussi signed;
The Reebok had only been open for a matter of months
Super John had only just been sold to Bradford
Colin Todd was still manager
Keith Branagan was still first choice goalkeeper

Any others?

when was his league debut? I have a programme from the home game V Swindon in 1998 with his name as GK. Also mentions a young Kevin Nolan doing well for Under 18's.

I am assuming it was in the summer of 1997...

So I was 18, just finished a-levels, getting ready for Uni, under the first change in elected government in my recollection thanks to D:Ream and Tony's smile.... as previoulsy mentioned by DSB

Ah, those halcyon days when Arsenal could still compete. We'll never see their like again, thats for sure.....

Well this coming season you will have as much chance of winning a league as we do, if not more. Been a while since you could say that
