Sad sad day indeed
Farnworth & Bolton legend Roy Greaves passes away aged 77
One of the first ever players I saw in the famous Umbro badged Wanderers shirt (1979)
Had the pleasure of playing against one of his 5 a side teams on that pitch at the back of Burnden, right bunch of dirty bstrds they were too, but now’s not the time for that
Thanks for the short memories I had of watching your no nonsense football Roy and for the Courage beers in Monteraze too

A passing come too early.. Remember his signing with Haydn Berry, than the BEN Wanderers writer, wondering if he might compare with the great Jimmy. However, he became a wonderful creative midfield player and captain of one of our best ever teams. Was a great friend of Big Sam, for whom he did scouting reports in the PL days. A really nice man with great modesty, and forever a Wanderer.
