How the national press reported Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa
It seems like we’ve been hearing this for weeks now, but yet again we’re told by the Mail that Bolton are just one win away from definite safety. The same paper also tells us that Gary Megson believes Bolton have “hearts as big as buckets all over the pitch.”
Big hearts maybe (although that wasn’t necessarily the case at Portsmouth last week), but the Guardian thought the Wanderers display lacked inspiration, saying that “the highlights of this encounter will not make it into any PowerPoint presentations put together for Bolton chairman Phil Gartside’s proposed two-tier top-flight that would include Celtic, Rangers and, of course, Wanderers.”
Bolton Wanderers Hall of Fame #1: Alan Stubbs

Stubbs was a Bolton legend despite the lack of internet evidence
The retirement of Wanderers legend Alan Stubbs today made this the perfect time to make him the first entrant in to Manny Road’s Bolton Wanderers Hall of Fame.
The first thing I did when I found out he’s hanging up his boots was search for my favourite Stubbs moment – his winning goal against Aston Villa in that memorable FA Cup run of 1994.
Sadly, it was nowhere to be seen on You Tube. Worse still, because Stubbs’ Bolton career came just before the internet age, searching for him on the web leaves you wondering if he ever played for the Whites at all: no You Tube videos, no Flickr photos; even a Google image search brings up page after page of Stubbs in action for Celtic, Everton and Derby County, but virtually nothing of him playing for the Wanderers.
His Wikipedia page does not have a section dedicated to his time at Bolton, instead it’s included under ‘Early Career’.
So if anyone’s got any old Stubbs footage or photos – especially from that Villa game – let’s get them up on the web and redress the balance a little.
