I was at that Bolton game too. I remember Davies flattening Alf Wood from behind without being seen by the officials. I was in the sunken paddock close to the railway embankment end and their right back Hartle came over to get the ball for a throw in. That would normally invite a few choice comments made towards that gentleman but the size of his thighs and his wrestlers arms meant that silence was the best option.

I remember been at Bolton, there was a city fan nearly as big as giant haystacks.
He couldn’t get in via turnstiles so they opened an exit gate for him.
Probably 1978/80s
