First ever League Goal in 1888
It has just been "proven" that Bolton winger Kenny Davenport scored the first ever league goal at 3.47pm on the 8th September 1888 in the game against Notts County at Pikes Lane. Unfortunately we lost the game 6-3 after being 2-0 up, nothing ever changes I guess. But at least we have a record that can never be beaten or equalled.

Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

We actually scored the first two both by Davenport.

Re: First ever League Goal in 1888
Yes, but did it take a deflection?

No. They didn't deflect until about 1962, before then they went straight in or felled the defender.mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:Yes, but did it take a deflection?

Oops I was only young at the time so I gets the Counties mixed up at my age. My memory isn't what it used to be.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Two things:FaninOz wrote:It has just been "proven" that Bolton winger Kenny Davenport scored the first ever league goal at 3.47pm on the 8th September 1888 in the game against Notts County at Pikes Lane.

Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED
Re: First ever League Goal in 1888
Turns out that the BBC originally got the counties mixed up, as one of the comments (accurately) says:
Small error, Bolton played Derby County that day. Not an earth shattering fact but we like to make sure all the unwanted records are ours.

Re: First ever League Goal in 1888
I bought this up in another thread. I got poo pooed about it, something about playing Derby would be a meaningless game. Less meaningless now though, surely?FaninOz wrote:So why are we playing Burnley and not Derby County on Saturday??bean wrote:Turns out that the BBC originally got the counties mixed up, as one of the comments (accurately) says:
