What's that about?

I found this at my mum and dad's recently. It's a shame I scrawled all over it with highlighter! Frankie says 'Up the Bromley Cross U9s' if you can't make it out!

How was the braised beef steak?

Now there's a T-shirt you never saw in the mid-eighties.

Not one of my own, but how about Super John and a few hedgehogs?

Sorting through some old stuff today I found the BN's souvenier Memories of 58 paper.
We won both the F.A Cup and the Charity Shield that year. Team is, back row: Hartle, Higgins, Edwards, Hopkinson,Hennin, Banks (and Bert Sprostron)
Front row: Birch, Stevens, Lofthouse, (Bill Ridding) Parry Holden, Gubbins. (Ralph Gubbins didn't play in the final but had a great game in the semi, so was included).

Bottom pic is players and cup arriving on the Town Hall Square. (I was in there somewhere in front of the Cenotaph. It was absolute madness) Happy days.

First thing I can remember in my life was being on my dad's shoulders in a big crowd. In later years he told me I was on his shoulders outside the Town Hall when the Wanderers brought the FA Cup home in 1958. My dad went to the Final. He also went to the final in 1953. I was three years old in 1958. That photo just sent a shiver down my spine TD!

God bless you Dad. Miss you.

Look at them on that scaffold. Elf'n'Safety types would have a fit these days, frothing fit.

Strange to think of now, but back then we still had trolley buses running around the town centre (you can see the cables) and no-traffic precincts weren't heard of. Buses went across the town hall square and Trinity Street had a glass-roofed arcade type thing on the pavement down most of it . Mind you, that was when Burnden Park was the centre of the universe.

Obviously a fake photo. Where are the Peruvian Pan Pipers?

a screen capture from a game on video (my 1st game April '76 Bolton Vs Oldham 4-0 to us)

Here's the highlights of that very game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwV1nrgP5uc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I know, it was me that posted that video on youtube

There,s no other sound on earth like The Burnden Roar..Effing brilliant,Thanks..

I also like seeing the old cars in the background, as I hate all modern cars and only drive 20+yr old cars myself.

Cheeky fekkers,,throwing Tony a Lada...

[jonnycooper]

Ahhh look, its a Vauxhall Viva HB and a Triumph Herald. Also looks like a Hillman Minx in the background.


Great pics

Oh and some men painting the front of Burnden park too!

And is that a Ford Anglia I can see underneath/by the entrance to the supporter's club?

Not sure what year it'll have been taken. Pre-Happy Shop I see. Anyone know when the supporter's club was built?

I thought it was a MK1 Cortina,,But yeah could be an Anglia..

This was the large framed picture of the famous Lofty diving header ( pretty sure it was against Chelsea) that I saw all through my teens and twenties, in Len Hill's barbershop on Halliwell Road.

Len Hills could,nt hold a candle against Squire Fosters on Egerton St.Moses Gate,,Farnworth.
Best short back:n:side,s for miles around..

MacDonald..(what a goal)..BAR STEWARD

Speaking of barbers, I used to go into Jeff James' on Blackburn Road and ask for a 'John McGinley' a la Andy Waller's picture. I think I would've been better off asking for a hedghog.
