Trotters' Ultimate Legend

[Andy Waller]

Never realised till today that Win Davis still lives in Bolton.(B.N). Not a legend but a dam good player for the Whites.

My dad knows him from Warburtons, he worked there after he retired. I've met him around town when I was with my dad when I was younger. Lovely bloke.

Although for years, I thought his nickname was "The Leek", because of his Welshness...

Leeking Lizards! How could you make that mistake?

[hi there, i'm chris]

[CrazyHorse]

Obviously the answer to the question is Nat Lofthouse but despite being a bit of a joke right now, Kevin Davies is right up there.

bob taylor

oh yes! SupaBob...

Cracking bloke by all accounts as well. Know a couple of lads who support Tamworth and Super Bob used to go out on the lash with the fans after a game on a Saturday when he was there in the latter days of his career.

Imagine the apathy now though if we signed a thirty something striker on loan who couldn't get in to a team in the division below us.

[TANGODANCER]

Unless my memorie's worse than I thought, Supersub was Bob's main claim to fame for us. He knew where the nets were that's for sure.

and this guy

would try and shoot from anywhere at burnden park!! (wouldnt class him as a legend though but would shoot from anywhere)



was in the great lever stand watching a warm up once and he smashed one from outside the box went screaming past the post and smashed into a bloke holding two cups of bovril!!

poor chap didnt see it coming but jesus that guy had a great foot on him

[Turkish Trotter]

Only Lofthouse fits the true legend Status, I never saw him play, but in my time Worthington, McGinley, Bergsson, Djorkaof and Okocha are the stand out candidates for me.

Exactly the same for me

Those are my top 5 and take some beating in my opinion

My personal was john mcginlay, true legend for me out and out wanderer

especially for punching that wolves player in the face (cant get any more passionate than that)

Great minds!!

Since the thread title's The Trotters Ultimate Legend, Lofty has to win. Every new era springs somebody up who can be remembered, but not too many legends. When he finally retires, Kevin Davies will qualify for me. Everybody goes past their best but this guy has battled on through injury, dislocated fingers, smashed cheekbone and more kicks then the London Palladium dancers for years and he's still in there fighting. True Bolton player, true legend.

[bobo the clown]

A guy came onto Radio Man Citeh tonight & spoke to John McGinley, telling him he;d named his son after him .... no, not John, but McGinley.

Supa John was speechless.

Question is, did he spell McGinlay correctly?

It's been a while.

Agreed. And from this era add Jussi in there aswell!

You're far from the only one. I remember a kid round the corner from me having the incorrect spelling on the back of his shirt. I couldn't mock too much as I suffered a similar fate with Curcic!

[Bruce Rioja]

I seriously think that there's a very good case for this man.

[Lord Kangana]

My dad always raves about him Bruce. Said he had a cracking eye for a goal.
