A 178-page book following some of Bolton’s more memorable, more forgettable and more troublesome matches from the late 70s right up to the mid 90s.
*******************
Preston keeper Simon Farnworth a former Wanderer of the wilderness years, couldn’t stop John McGinlay sweeping the penalty home and my life was elevated into a zone of anticipation and excitement. I remember nothing about the last 15 minutes except the final whistle that brought them to an end. It also brought 10 years of misery to a conclusion.Bruce Rioch had taken us through the door to footballing respectability and I found myself on my knees in the Lever End penalty box looking up to a clear blue sky. Bolton Wanderers and Burnden Park were finally out of the lower divisions and the old pitch was a writhing mass of joy. PRESTON NORTH END 1993
*******************
Keystone cops’ football from the home side was helping the Quakers on their way. As BWFC sunk ever more deeply in to uncharted depths of lower divisions football it was an evening to wonder just when the club’s fortunes would reach rock bottom and begin to rise again. DARLINGTON 1985
*******************
Within minutes the fighting had spread to the terracing and the Lever End was a bloodbath, according to the B.E.N., bricks, darts and golf balls were thrown and the St. John’s Ambulancemen were overwhelmed. As were casualty at Bolton Royal Infirmary, with many people, mainly innocent bystanders, suffering headwounds. CHELSEA 1977
*******************
“The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, digs deep in the heart and soul of the football supporter who follows his club through everything that’s thrown at them. The ups, the downs and the blows taken while following the Whites is on every page of this unique historical and social account of a club we call our own.” AW, Walkden
*******************
“What a great read. For the fans who got through the 70s, 80s and 90s at Burnden Park, with its ups and downs, what a journey it was and somehow always a pleasure. My recollections over the years have blurred, but “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” has reopened my eyes and has recreated some of those lost memories for me. Absolutely loved reading it, a great book for any Wanderers fan.” SH, Bolton
*******************
“What a great read for any Bolton fan of a certain age. “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” captures the rollercoaster ride that so many football fans will be familiar with. Amazing how easy it is to remember the Good and surprisingly the Ugly. The Bad not so much! Brings the mood of Burnden Park back to life as realistically as anything I have read.” IC, Yeadon
*******************
“Very interesting history of our fantastic club. Having been to many of these matches, it brought back a lot of good (and bad!) memories. Great reminder of my youth spent following Bolton all over the country!” SH, Helsinki
*******************
“Some colourful and fantastic memories from a not too distant era but a time when football was not tainted by Sky or the cleansed products of today. A proper thrills pills and bellyache memoir of old school football. A fantastic read.” GB, Euxton
