What about - BASTARDS: the worst wanderers ever?

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

The game that sticks out for me was beating Chester City 5-0 at home, a really crap game apart from about 81 mins and onwards where we scored all 5 or 4. Winstanley even got on the the score sheet that day.

I remember Collymore getting the first punch in against Todd (who was a relative unknown at the time), and then Stan the Man realised he was in trouble when Toddy came back with a few roundhouses of his own! Brilliant!

So long as the definition of B'stards is that they were a bit hard ... Sir John of Byrom had a bit of previous here. To the point that, after one feisty match v Liverpool Admin FC he had had so many run-ins with legendary hard-man, Tommy Pox-Face Smith, that the two agreed to meet outside on the car park post match.

He turned up, but Smith didn't !!

My dad worships Byrom and has told me many stories of his exploits. This one doesn't surprise me either.

I'd love to believe this story but when would Byrom have played for us against Liverpool & Smith? I'm assuming some cup game or friendly I cant remember (PT's testimonial?) but I'm sure Byrom never played in the top flight for us. :conf:

Fckg Hell Harry, ever heard of cup games ?

Sept 27, 1967. Bolton v Liverpool in the League Cup.

We won 3-2.

Byrom & Smith were both playing. This happened in that game. Byrom took the piss out of Smith throughout & he got v v tetchy about it. Smith tried to flatten JB several times & he dodged them every time. In one case he actively jumped over a slide tackle and landed, quite deliberately, on Smith's ankles. He got up to attack him, but was stopped by his team mates.

This led to lots of finger pointing by poxy-chops and JB standing with a huge grin, hands on hips and nodding at Smith. That led to the "see you later" stuff.

Hahahahaha. JB, stuff of legend. Especially when you consider that the Bin Dippers think that Smith is some kind of hard nut. Roy Hartle, now there is a hard nut

It certainly happened - and that was the very game. Proud to say that I was in the Manchester Road stand that night with my Grandad, God rest his soul! :pray:
