Ivan Campo Appreciation Society: Exhibit D

Thursday October 9th, 2008

In loving memory of Bolton Wanderers legend Ivan Campo…

A few weeks ago, I wrote about a bug in the system of the BWFC latest news feed that displays on the top right-hand side of this blog. It kept crashing and I couldn’t figure out why.

Well, after some trial and error, it appears the bug was caused by the news feed from the Manchester Evening News. Since I removed the MEN feed it’s worked perfectly.

More proof that Mancunians and Boltonians don’t mix came in the MEN’s report of the Wanderers 3-1 win at West Ham. As Vital Bolton Wanderers pointed out, their assertion that Bolton had not won at Upton Park for 44 years was slightly wrong… they were a mere 41 years out.

In fact, Bolton also won at West Ham in the League Cup in 1994, when a Super John McGinlay brace helped us on our way to Wembley.

But the long wait for a league win at Upton Park was ended in 2005 when your favourite Spaniard and mine Ivan Campo scored the decisive goal.

So, for making the Mancs look stupid, we salute you Ivan…
