FROM THE MANAGER 

IAN EVATT 

TODAY, THE BOLTON WANDERERS FAMILY WILL GATHER EN MASSE AS 

ONE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM TO PAY OUR RESPECT TO 

HER LATE MAJESTY, QUEEN ELIZABETH II. 

For the vast majority of us here 

today, the Queen, as monarch 

of our country, was a constant 

presence in our lives and it seems 

surreal that she is no longer with 

us. 

She dedicated her entire life to 

serving the people of the United 

Kingdom and the Commonwealth 

and her passing is a truly sad time 

for us all. 

Tuesday’s game against MK Dons 

was the first time we had played 

since her death and although there 

was an air of poignancy, both sets 

of fans played their part in paying 

tribute to her memory. 

As sovereign for 70 years and 

working hard for her people well 

into her 90s, it is no surprise that 

we are seeing such an outpouring 

of love and appreciation for her. 

Monday, the day of her funeral, 

will be an opportunity for us all to 

reflect on her selfless dedication 

and to share our thoughts and 

prayers with King Charles III, the 

Queen Consort and all the Royal 

Family. 

As a club, we have rearranged our 

training schedule to allow our staff 

and players the chance to take 

part in this important and historical 

moment. 

Today we welcome Peterborough 

United, their manager Grant 

McCann, his staff and players, 

and all the supporters who have 

travelled up for the game. 

They have had a good start to the 

season and we will need to be 

firing on all cylinders if we are to 

get something from the contest. 

But in front of our home fans, we 

have the opportunity to build on 

our win against Charlton Athletic 

and build up some momentum as 

we head towards another busy 

phase of the campaign. 

Thank you to all those who made 

their way down to Milton Keynes 

in midweek. I know I keep saying 

it but it never fails to amaze me to 

see the quality of support we get 

on our travels, especially during 

these difficult times. 

It was a game we controlled from 

minute one and we should have 

scored more than the two we did, 

but we looked solid and I was 

pleased with the performance 

which will stand us in good stead 

going into today’s match. 

Enjoy the game, 

Ian.

FROM THE 

BOARDROOM 

IN THE WAKE OF 

THE SEPTEMBER 

11 TERRORIST 

ATTACKS IN 

THE UNITED 

STATES 21 YEARS 

AGO, QUEEN 

ELIZABETH II 

ADDRESSED 

THOSE WHO LOST 

LOVED ONES BY 

TELLING THEM 

THAT ‘GRIEF IS 

THE PRICE WE 

PAY FOR LOVE.’ 

Following Her Majesty’s passing 

last week, we, as a nation, grieve 

for the Royal Family’s and our 

nation’s loss. 

We have all experienced loss in 

our lives and Her Majesty’s death 

will have brought back memories 

of our loved ones who are no 

longer with us. 

The late Queen Elizabeth was 

a great woman whose lifelong 

commitment to the United Kingdom 

and the Commonwealth spanned 

generations and was unfaltering. 

As Sovereign of the nation she 

was also a beloved mother, 

grandmother and great 

grandmother, and we were 

fortunate enough to see glimpses 

of that maternal side of her life 

alongside the ceremonial duties 

she performed throughout her 

reign. 

She was held in high esteem 

throughout the world - not just in 

the countries where she was Head 

Royal Occasion: Queen 

Elizabeth II presenting the 

trophy and medals following 

the 1953 FA Cup Final. 

of State - and was our greatest 

ever ambassador. 

The tributes and outpouring of 

love we have seen are testament 

to this. 

Her funeral on Monday will be 

watched by hundreds of millions of 

people across the planet and will 

be a poignant occasion. 

The thoughts of everybody at 

Bolton Wanderers Football Club 

will be with the Royal Family as the 

Queen is laid to rest. 

In the hours after his mother’s 

passing, King Charles addressed 

the nation and told us that he will 

serve with ‘loyalty,respect and 

love.” 

These are values that we hold 

dear and we are certain that under 

his guidance the nation will come 

together and emerge from these 

difficult times. 

God Save The King. 

Sharon, Michael, Nick and everyone 

in the Bolton Wanderers Family.

Wanderers returned to winning ways in Sky Bet League 

One with a come-from-behind victory against Charlton 

Athletic at the University of Bolton Stadium. 

Scott Fraser gave the Addicks an early lead after 

converting Jesurun Rak-Sakyi’s low cross, but the lead 

didn’t last for long with Conor Bradley latching onto Jack 

Iredale’s cross to score at the far post. 

Bradley played a part in the second goal with Wanderers 

taking the lead before the break. After finding Gethin 

Jones initially, he received the low cut-back and helped 

it into the path of Kieran Lee who beat Joe Wollacott. 

George Johnston put the icing on the cake to confirm 

victory with a third goal after Dion Charles’ low centre 

found the defender at the far post, following alert play 

by the forward to latch onto Iredale’s quickly-taken freekick.

[ IN OPPOSITION ] 

PETERBOROUGH 

UNITED 

STADIUM: 

London Road 

Capacity: 

15,314 

NICKNAME: 

The Posh 

FOUNDED: 

1934 

DID YOU KNOW? 

Peterborough United are known 

throughout the world of football as 

‘The Posh’ and the nickname was 

almost certainly inherited from earlier, 

unconnected professional clubs in their 

home city. 

In 1921 the manager of Fletton United was 

quoted as saying he was looking for Posh 

players to form a Posh team, by Posh 

he meant good, and it stuck from that. 

[ LAST FIVE SEASONS ] 

Before that Fletton United were known 

as the Brickies or Claydobbers due to the 

brickworks in the area. 

Fletton added Peterborough to their name 

in 1923, becoming Peterborough & Fletton 

United when they joined the Southern 

League. In 1932 the club went bankrupt, 

and when the current club was formed two 

years later and made their Midland League 

debut against Gainsborough Trinity on 1st 

September 1934, the team was greeted 

with cries of ‘Up The Posh’ from the crowd.

THE SPINE OF THE TEAM 

GOALKEEPER | LUCAS BERGSTRÖM 

AGE: 19 | ON LOAN FROM CHELSEA 

The 6 feet 9 inch stopper will likely be the tallest in the professional 

game, and has arrived at London Road in the summer, on loan from 

Premier League Chelsea. 

The teenager, who is a youth international for Finland, has been a regular 

so far for the Posh this season – in what is his first real taste of senior 

football. Moving to Stamford Bridge from his native side TPS in 2018, 

Bergström is yet to make a senior appearance for the Londoners, but has 

featured in the club’s U23s side. 

CENTRE BACK | FRANKIE KENT 

AGE: 26 | PREVIOUS CLUB: COLCHESTER UNITED 

Coming through as part of a talented crop of youngsters at Colchester 

United, the central defender made his professional debut for the Essex 

club in a May 2014 victory at Walsall before going onto rack up a total of 

141 appearances (8 goals). 

In June 2019, he secured a move to Peterborough United for an 

undisclosed fee after winning Colchester’s Player of the Year award, and 

he has been a regular in the heart of the defence ever since – with a total 

of 130 appearances (4 goals) to date. 

CENTRE MIDFIELDER | JACK TAYLOR 

AGE: 24 | PREVIOUS CLUB: BARNET 

Taylor spent seven years in the academy at Chelsea before coming 

through to sign professional terms at Barnet. Making his senior bow for 

the Bees in a Football League Trophy defeat to Norwich City’s U23s in 

October 2016, he would go onto become a star for the North London 

club. 

The midfielder had a spell on loan with Hampton & Richmond before 

racking up 129 appearances (15 goals) for Barnet. In January 2020, 

Peterborough United swooped for his signature for an initial fee of 

£500,000 

STRIKER | JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS 

AGE: 28 | PREVIOUS CLUB: BRISTOL ROVERS 

An international footballer for Jamaica, Clarke-Harris has 5 goals to date for 

Peterborough and during his last season at this level with the Posh (2020/21), he 

managed an impressive 31 goals during the league campaign. 

Coming through the ranks with Coventry City, he had an initial spell with 

Peterborough United and went onto feature for Oldham Athletic and Rotherham 

United before a return to Coventry in 2018. His second spell with the Sky Blues was 

cut-short following a move to Bristol Rovers and after netting 27 times in 18 months for 

the Gas, he signed for Peterborough in August 2020 for £1.2 Million. 

To date for the Posh, he has scored 50 goals in 102 appearances.

THE BOSS… 

A familiar face at London Road, McCann returned to the club for 

his third spell as manager in February, and although he couldn’t 

keep his side in the Championship, he’ll fancy his chances of 

an immediate return – especially having guided Hull City to the 

League One title in 2020/21 at the first time of asking. 

The Belfast-born former midfielder also spent the 2018/19 season in 

charge of Doncaster Rovers, and he took the South Yorkshire club 

to the League One play-offs, before defeat to Charlton Athletic in 

the semi-finals. 

Starting out with West Ham United as a player, he made his name at 

Cheltenham Town after initially joining on loan in 2000, he remained 

until 2007. After spells at Barnsley and Scunthorpe United, he spent 

five years as a player at London Road (2010-2015), before finishing 

at Linfield.

MUSINGS 

Luke Staton 

FORMER WANDERER TO 

RUN 100 MILES. 

Ex Wanderers midfielder Luke 

Staton is today taking part in 

the Robin Hood 100 mile race 

in Nottingham to raise funds for 

the dreams come true charity 

who bring moments of magic and 

deliver lasting impact for children 

who have it tough. 

The Midfielder represented 

England at under 16 level before 

joining Blackburn Rovers. He 

joined the Wanderers in the 

summer of 1999 and his only 

first team appearance came in a 

Worthington Cup Second Round 

2-0 success against Gillingham, 

in September 1999, at the then 

Reebok Stadium. That game was 

coincidentally Colin Todd’s last 

game as manager. 

He was a regular in the club’s FA 

Premier Reserve League side that 

season before joining Barry Town 

United where he played in the 

Champions League qualifiers. He 

then represented Merthyr Tydfil, 

Gainsborough, Worksop and 

Retford United, where he began 

as a youngster, before hanging up 

his boots. 

Now 43 years old, he is a 

motivational speaker and coach 

and indeed delivered at the 

Wanderers Academy pre-covid, 

heading a project called inspiring 

the next generation and also 

manages one of the junior sides 

at Retford United. The page for

ROYAL CUP FINALS. 

Everyone at Bolton Wanderers 

shares the nation’s grief at the 

passing of our Monarch, Her 

Majesty The Queen. 

Her Majesty attended our FA Cup 

Final in 1953, presenting the Cup 

to Blackpool after the famous 

Matthews Final whilst it was Prince 

Philip who presented the trophy 

in 1958 to Nat Lofthouse, after the 

2-0 defeat of Manchester United. 

LANCASHIRE CUP. 

The Wanderers have been drawn 

away to Blackpool in this season’s 

competition last won by the club 

in 1990/91. 

The last occasion we faced the 

Seasiders in the competition was in 

October 2013 when we ran out 7-2 

winners in monsoon conditions. 

Conor Wilkinson, now at Walsall, 

chipped in with four goals. Since 

then, only Alex Samizadeh has 

netted as many in a competitive 

first team or reserve fixture, that 

coming in a 6-1 defeat of QPR 

U23 in September 2016.

the University of Bolton Stadium.

#6 GEORGE 

JOHNSTON 

20 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

AN OLD HEAD ON YOUNG SHOULDERS, 

GEORGE JOHNSTON HAS CERTAINLY COME OF AGE. 

Watching the Wanderers’ 

defender turn in ever-more 

measured performances, it’s easy 

to forget he’s yet to reach 100 

senior appearances. 

Striving to make the breakthrough 

initially at Liverpool and then in the 

Dutch top-flight with Feyenoord 

has made Johnston something of 

a slow burner in terms of first-team 

football. 

Having just turned 24, he also 

has plenty of time on his side in 

a playing position where physical 

maturity and know-how are both 

major assets. 

But already this season there’s 

no doubt he’s looking ever more 

like the finished article even if, as 

a relative rookie, Johnston still fits 

into the ‘young player’ category 

when it comes to individual awards 

for his achievements last term. 

The Scotland U21 international 

was chosen as Wanderers’ Young 

Player of the Year in a breakthrough 

year as a ‘senior’ player 

– his first with Wanderers. 

And, he is also on the shortlist for 

the ‘Rising Star’ prize at the North- 

West Football Awards which will be 

held in November. 

“I was delighted to get the club 

award last season. It was the most 

games I’d played in a season and I 

learned so much,” said Johnston. 

“It was massive for my 

development, playing that many 

games. I learned a lot that I wanted 

to work on and bring into this 

season. 

“It’s great to get a nomination in 

the North-West Awards as well, 

alongside some really good 

players, but for me it’s about 

looking forward. 

“I think I’m young enough to keep 

improving. I’ll keep pushing and 

keep working on the things I need 

to and hopefully I will progress 

myself and the club. 

“I really want to push on this 

season and help this club go as far 

as it can.” 

He has certainly made an 

impressive start as one of threeever 

presents in Ian Evatt’s League 

One line-ups, alongside defensive 

side-kick Gethin Jones and wingback 

Conor Bradley. 

Having also played against Salford 

City and Aston Villa in the Carabao 

Cup and helped Wanderers to a 

winning start in the Papa Johns 

Trophy, Johnston is the only 

member of Evatt’s squad to have 

played every minute of the season 

so far. 

His performance in the mid-week 

win at MK Dons was one of his 

best yet, but the former Wigan 

Athletic loanee – who had his first 

taste of EFL football with the Latics 

before joining Wanderers last 

summer – knows that record may 

not last forever. 


The Wanderer | 21

“We’ve got a really good squad. 

There are at least two players in 

each position in this squad now,” 

Johnston added. 

“It’s not like the other teams I’ve 

been in where it’s a set starting XI. 

“Depending on who we’re coming 

up against and what threats the 

opposition have the manager can 

pick different teams. 

“So, if you’re not in the team it’s 

not personal, it’s just the gaffer 

trusts the 11 he’s putting out to go 

and do the job that day. Everyone 

understands that.” 

Evatt’s ‘horses for courses’ 

approach is working well as he 

juggles his resources to tackle 

each individual challenge. 

The commanding 2-0 victory at 

MK Dons brought the Whites their 

first away win of the campaign 

and lifted them to fifth place in the 

table ahead of this afternoon’s 

visit of Peterborough United, who 

slipped out of the early top-six 

placings in mid-week. 

And Wanderers will be chasing a 

fourth home win, having beaten 

Charlton Athletic in equally 

impressive fashion last time out 

at the UniBol when Johnston’s 

second goal on home turf 

wrapped up a 3-1 success. 

“I think I should have a done a lot 

better for their goal, so it was a 

relief,” admitted Johnston after a 

rare slip had allowed the Addicks 

an early lead. 

“I back the team to get me out of 

trouble and it was a really good 

performance that day. 

“It’s something that’s been kind of 

been brewing for a long time, a 

performance like that. 

“I love scoring. I don’t score many 

but when I do it’s an unbelievable 

feeling – especially at home in the 

front of the crowd and the roar that 

you get. It’s just massive. 

“This is another tough test today, 

but another game we back 

ourselves to win. 

“Against the top six last year we 

didn’t win enough games. If we 

“I LOVE 

SCORING. 

I DON’T 

SCORE MANY 

BUT WHEN 

I DO IT’S AN 

UNBELIEVABLE 

FEELING… 

want to be up there this year, they 

are the games we want to win. 

“They’re games we look forward 

to, with another big crowd and 

good backing again so we’ll 

go into the game with a lot of 

positives, especially after the way 

we played on Tuesday night as 

well.” 

Wanderers first ever win at 

Stadium MK marked their return to 

action after last weekend’s fixtures 

were postponed as a show of 

respect for Queen Elizabeth II. 

The passing of Her late Majesty 

was marked by a minute’s silence 

and the playing of the national 

anthem in recognition of the 

new King at grounds across the 

country. 

Wanderers will take their turn 

today as the University of Bolton 

Stadium prepares to fall silent 

in tribute before switching the 

focus back to the pursuit of more 

progress up the table. 

“It’s been a sad time for the whole 

country,” said Johnston. “We will 

pay our respects and pay them 

in the right way and then when 

the whistle goes it’s down to 

business and we’ll be looking for 

another positive performance and 

hopefully the three points.” 

An old head indeed.

DUTY AND SERVICE 

EVERYONE AT BOLTON WANDERERS FOOTBALL CLUB IS SHARING 

THE NATION’S GRIEF AT THE PASSING OF OUR MONARCH, HER 

MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II AND TODAY WE PAY TRIBUTE TO 

HER FOR HER UNFAILING DUTY AND SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY, 

THE COMMONWEALTH AND INDEED THE WHOLE WORLD. 

It is still very difficult to process 

that our Queen is no longer with 

us as she has been a constant 

throughout our lives and brought 

such stability in a fragile and every 

changing world. 

In a connection with our Club, 

it is interesting to note that the 

final, which Wanderers lost 4-3 to 

Blackpool after Nat Lofthouse had 

completed his record of scoring in 

every round, was the first football 

match attended by The Queen 

which was a month before her 

coronation in June of that year. We 

remember today that from the very 

moment she became The Queen 

to the very end she showed 

incredible duty and service every 

day. 

As we grieve her loss I feel that 

we can all take her tremendous 

example into our lives. The words 

duty and service stand out in 

her life and are based upon her 

own Christian faith where she 

understood the importance of 

following in the footsteps of Jesus 

Christ in service to others, and the 

ultimate sacrifice for the sake of 

others. 

Our thoughts and prayers here at 

Bolton Wanderers continue to be 

with all the Queen’s family at this 

time of great loss for them and as 

we mourn such loss, we also pray 

for our new King as he takes up his 

great responsibilities at the time he 

grieves the loss of his mother. 

Much will change in the days 

ahead, QC’s now become KC’s, 

our coinage and stamps will 

change over time and we shall 

have to get used to singing the 

National Anthem in a different 

way. However I am sure that King 

Charles III will himself follow in his 

mother’s footsteps and duty and 

service will be at the core of who 

he is and how he reigns. 

In this time of reflection and sad 

loss we remember the Queen 

as a role model for us all in her 

dedication, commitment and 

dignity; values for us all to aspire to 

in our Club, community and town. 

The Queen has done her duty and 

now is her time of rest. May God 

hold her close and bless her family 

in the days to come, as we give 

thanks to our Queen. 

God save the King. 

Enjoy the Game,

MEMORABLE MATCHES 

SEASON 2022/23 MARKS THE 25TH 

ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

BOLTON STADIUM. 

Saturday 19th February 2000 

FA Cup Quarter Final 

Bolton Wanderers 1 

Charlton Athletic 0 

The Wanderers reached the first 

ever FA Cup final to be held at 

Wembley and they kept up hopes 

of playing in the last at the famous 

old stadium with a victory over 

First Division Champions elect 

Charlton Athletic. 

THROUGHOUT THE SEASON CLUB 

HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND WILL LOOK 

BACK AT SOME MEMORABLE GAMES. 

The Addicks saw their 11 match 

unbeaten run come to an end 

but Bolton deserved their victory 

and a first FA Cup semi-final for 

42 years. Having seen off Cardiff 

City, Grimsby Town and Cambridge 

United in the previous rounds the 

winning goal came from Eidur 

Gudjohnsen who kept up his 

record of having scored in every 

round. 

The Icelandic striker’s goal was 

worthy of winning any game, his 

stunning shot finding its way into 

the top corner of the net just after 

the interval, but it was a miracle 

that the score remained goalless 

at half time. Gudjohnsen almost 

registered the quickest goal in 

the cup that season when he saw 

a blistering shot from the edge 

of the area hit the bar with just 

22 seconds on the clock. Robbie 

Elliott shot inches over the bar from 

25 yards before hitting the post 

with another effort as the Addick’s 

defence was dismantled. 

Charlton, bidding to reach the last 

four in the FA Cup for the first time 

since 1947, were a pale shadow 

of the side that were taking the 

League by storm. The Wanderers 

ran them ragged especially during 

the first half. 

Within a minute of Gudjohnsen 

striking what turned out to be the 

winner Bolton were reduced to ten 

men when Graham Poll showed 

Dean Holden a red card after a 

fracas with John Robinson. This 

gave Charlton some impetus but 

it wasn’t until the final minutes that 

they came close to equalising. 

30 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

Jussi Jaaskelainen became the 

hero with a fantastic double save, 

pushing Mark Kinsella’s shot 

against the post, the ball falling 

to winger John Robinson with 

the goal at his mercy, the Finn 

somehow managing to get his foot 

to his shot. The save brought a 

response from the Reebok crowd 

as large as that for the goal. 

There were now important League 

points to be played for with Bolton 

lying in 12th place before the visit 

to Wembley to face Aston Villa in 

the first week of April in the FA Cup 

Semi Final. 

Team: Jaaskelainen, Holden, 

Bergsson, Fish, Whitlow, Johansen, 

(Passi), Jensen, Elliott, Johnston, 

(Gardner), Gudjohnsen, Taylor 

(Ritchie). Subs not used: Banks, 

Holdsworth. 

Attendance: 20,131 

Saturday 8th April 2000 

Nationwide League Division One 

Bolton Wanderers 4 

Walsall 3 

Bolton kept up their slim play-off 

hopes alive by securing the points 

in a seven goal thriller. Two goals 

in the opening three minutes 

set the tone for a fascinating 

encounter and Walsall, battling 

against relegation, looked as 

though they might nick a point 

with a spirited second-half 

comeback. 

Still smarting from the previous 

weekend of losing the FA Cup 

semi-final at Wembley the 

Wanderers found themselves a 

goal down after just 45 seconds 

when Paul Hall found the net. 

Thankfully, no malaise set in and 

goals from Bo Hansen, Michael 

Johansen and Jimmy Phillips gave 

Bolton a half-time cushion. 

Walsall refused to throw in the 

towel and hit back in the 55th 

minute to make it 3-2 when 

future Wanderer Michael Ricketts 

bundled the ball over the line from 

close range. The visitors continued 

to press for an equaliser and had a 

couple of glorious chances which 

missed the target. 

Bolton looked to have secured the 

game and the points in the 74th 

minute when they restored the two 

goal advantage, Hansen grabbing 

his second after a scramble in the 

area. It didn’t go to plan however 

as Tom Bennett headed home with 

seven minutes remaining to make 

it 4-3 and a nervy ending ensued. 

Hansen scorned the chance of a 

hat-trick which would have made 

the game safe in the final minute 

of normal time when he shot over 

from a Johansen cross. 

The result put Bolton in 8th place, 

five points behind sixth placed 

Huddersfield with five games 

remaining. 

Team: Jaaskelainen, Bergsson, Fish, 

(Warhurst), Whitlow, Elliott, (Phillips), 

Johansen, Jensen, Passi, Johnston, 

Gudjohnsen, Hansen, (Holdsworth). 

Subs not used: Grant, Banks.

Wanderers registered their first away win of the season 

with a convincing victory against one of last season’s 

beaten play-off semi-finalists, MK Dons at Stadium MK. It 

was the club’s first-ever victory at that ground. 

On the front foot from the get go, Ian Evatt’s men were 

given the opportunity to take the lead on the half-hour 

mark with referee Chris Pollard pointing to the spot after 

Gethin Jones was brought down in the box by Dawson 

Devoy. Dion Charles made no mistake in beating Jamie 

Cumming from 12 yards. 

The scoreline could’ve been an emphatic one with a 

bit more ruthlessness in the final third, but the second 

goal came through Jones who scored his first goal since 

May 2021. After Elias Kachunga was fouled, Jack Iredale 

delivered an excellent free-kick into the box, and the 

vice-captain crashed an unstoppable header in off the 

underside of the bar.

we look forward to today’s game 

and the opportunity to show our 

respect for the life of Her Majesty 

the Queen. 

The format of any events before 

today’s game are, at the time 

of writing, somewhat uncertain. 

However, we want to reach 

out to one of our affiliate’s, BW 

Supporters Club Norway (BWSCN), 

long-standing members, Glenn 

Rana. Glenn was diagnosed with 

MND at the age of 44 and is 

currently on an epic “bucket list” 

trip. His journey around Europe 

with his family is ending today at 

the UoB where he will present 

the BWSCN POTY trophy for last

to put the spotlight on MND on 

what will be his last trip to see 

his beloved Whites. Please give 

Glenn and his family a warm BWFC

Bolton Wanderers Supporters 

Club London (London Whites) who 

have been getting together to 

follow Wanderers’ fortunes from 

the Capital for almost 40 years. 

Formed in the early 1980s after 

meeting each other at various 

London away games, a bunch of 

Wanderers fans began to meet 

each month, chat about their life 

as exiles “down South”, and plan 

trips from London to Wanderers 

matches. 

These fans (pictured outside 

Burnden) formed an official London 

Supporters Club in 1986 and have 

been active ever since. 

Current London Whites Chairman 

Paul Fletcher told us “It is important 

to us that we have always 

sponsored a young Wanderers 

player and this season we are 

delighted to be sponsoring Lamine 

Toure.” 

“We are planning some bigger 

social nights during this season. 

Ian Evatt has promised to come 

and meet our members in London

WANDERERS NOTICEBOARD 

DARREN THRELFALL 

25.12.1970 - 05.08.2022 

Darren grew up in Great 

Lever, Bolton, youngest of 

four children to Des and 

June. He had two sisters 

Anne & Julie, a brother 

Glenn. Also a wife Berni, 

son Hayden, daughter 

Gabriella & not forgetting 

dog Lola. He lived in 

Great Leaver until he 

moved to Westhoughton 

nineteen years ago. Darren went to his first Bolton 

match at the age of seven and he went with his 

dad in the Great Leaver end at Burden Park. His 

love for Bolton never faltered. He played for Bolton 

Wanderers junior whites and he was the school goal 

keeper (due to his height and ability) at St Williams 

RC School. He played all throughout his youth with 

his school friends, James, Lee and Cooey (Life long 

friends) and went onto watching Bolton Wanderers 

with them all. Went to many away matches from 

a young age with his friends on the club coach. 

Darren has left behind a large collection of old 

season tickets in his memory tin. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all Darren’s family 

at this time of loss. 

We welcome 

THOMAS BRISBANE 

to today’s game.

NARAN, is A life-long 

die-hard Bolton Wanderers 

supporter 

Naran was brought up in 

Bolton where he spent the 

early part of his life on Alfred 

Street - adjacent to Burnden 

Park…and this is when his 

interest in football began. 

His childhood was 

peppered with memories 

of many matches, and he 

has enjoyed the game in 

a variety of ways often 

following the game on the 

radio. 

Naran purchased the 

programme every week, 

he would send our oldest 

sister Bhanu to nip out to 

buy these on match day. 

He would then listen and 

followed the game on the 

radio. 

As a family, to mark the 

special occasion of his 

60th birthday, all decided it 

would be great to make the 

journey from London to the 

University of Bolton Stadium 

to watch a home match 

together. 

We are all excited to be 

attending the game against 

Peterborough and will be 

cheering the team on for 

future matches. 

Naran moved to London 

in the late 1980’s but still 

never ventured away from 

his much loved Bolton 

Wanderers!

B TEAM AND ACADEMY 

WANDERERS’ ACADEMY IS DELIGHTED TO HAVE 

FABRICE MUAMBA BACK AT THE CLUB AS PART OF 

THEIR LOWER AGE GROUP COACHING SET-UP. 

Muamba, who made 148 

appearances for the Whites 

before suffering a cardiac arrest 

in an FA Cup quarter-final at 

Tottenham Hotspur, is assisting 

with the Academy’s U15 side on a 

part-time basis as he pursues his 

coaching qualifications. 

The 34-year-old former midfielder, 

who played 130 times in the 

Premier League for Wanderers 

before his career was curtailed in 

2012, linked up with the Academy 

during the summer. 

And Muamba will now work 

alongside the Academy staff 

at evening sessions to help 

coach some of the Wanderers’ 

youngsters hoping to follow his 

footsteps into the professional 

game. 

It’s been a decent start to the 

season across the Academy sides 

as the B team this week took an 

early lead at the top of the Central 

League. 

Matt Craddock’s side has played 

more fixtures than anyone else in 

the division so far but made it two 

wins out of three when they beat 

Wrexham’s Reserves 3-1. 

Connor Stanley led the way with 

an unlikely double as the summer 

signing scored twice direct from 

corners to open his account as a 

Wanderers’ player. 

Midfielder Nelson Khumbeni added 

the third as the Whites bounced 

back from an opening defeat to 

Huddersfield Town in the group 

stage of the Central League Cup. 

Gez Sithole also scored his first 

goal for Wanderers against the 

Terriers, but Craddock’s men paid 

the price for too many missed 

chances as they lost 2-1 in the 

first of four group games in the 

competition. 

Meanwhile, the B team have been 

drawn against Blackpool in the first 

round of the LFA Senior Cup and 

as well as their scheduled league 

and cup fixtures are set to play a 

number of friendlies over the next 

few weeks to supplement their 

fixture list. 

At Youth Team level, the Whites 

started their own county cup 

campaign with a victory over 

Fleetwood Town to extend their 

unbeaten start to the season. 

Julian Darby’s youngsters knocked 

the EFL league leaders out of 

the Lancashire FA Youth Cup in 

mid-week thanks to goals from 

Leo Graham and Joel Burgess in 

a 2-1 win. 

Wanderers have also secured a 

win and a draw so far in the Youth 

Alliance Cup and were back in 

league action this morning with a 

home game against neighbours 

Preston North End.

GOLDEN GOAL - 

FIRST TIME WIN 

FOR JOSEPH 

Joseph Roantree of Radcliffe 

decided to buy a Golden 

Goal ticket for the first time 

on Saturday from our seller at 

the Club Shop, and we have 

no doubt that it was the right 

decision as he had the winning 

time of 3 minutes and 7 seconds. 

Joseph claimed his £500 prize 

after the game and was thrilled 

at his luck. He went on to tell 

us that he would be sharing his 

good fortune with two charities he 

supports - 

£125 goes to the Attic Project, 

Bury which is a charitable 

foundation dedicated to helping 

those in need throughout their 

community. 

£125 goes to the Kings 

Community Church, this will 

help them with the costs of food 

supplies for the most vulnerable 

within their community. 

What a truly wonderful gesture 

from Joseph and we hope he 

spends the rest on something 

nice for himself too. 

Tickets are back on sale 

for today’s fixture against 

Peteborough United throughout 

the lower concourse, outside 

the Club Store, Fanzone and 

hospitality. Our sellers accept 

cash so please remember to 

bring your £1 coins. 

You could be our next lucky 

winner like Joseph.

sport.

GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE 

INITIATIVE TACKLES VIOLENCE 

AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS 

On the last day of July 2022, England’s Lionesses made 

history with their first major tournament win where they 

were crowned the victors of this year’s Women’s Euro’s. 

It was a great day for women’s football and no doubt 

inspired the next generation of Lionesses. With women 

taking centre stage and supporting the game in greater 

numbers than ever before, the time seemed right to tell 

you a bit about a Greater Manchester Police initiative 

that has been running throughout the summer. It’s called, 

as chance would have it, Operation Lioness, and it’s 

designed to keep women and girls safe when they’re out 

on a Friday and Saturday night. 

It was launched in July this year and has seen officers out 

on patrol in every district, every weekend. To date there 

have been at least 135 arrests made, 92 stop searches 

and over 200 visits to licensed premises (VLP). Many 

referrals have also been made to partner agencies for 

people whom we believe need help for various reasons, 

such as substance misuse. 

Increased police visibility and relentlessly pursuing 

perpetrators is also just one aspect. Hundreds of VLPs 

have been conducted which have helped to raise 

awareness of spiking and distribute anti-spiking kits. 

Officers have also raised awareness and checked 

compliance with the ‘Ask for Angela’ initiative. 

The goal is ultimately to make the night safer and ensure 

that everyone has a good night out. If you’re out and 

about later and you, or someone you know, has come to 

harm or is at risk of coming to harm, please report it. You 

can do so via GMP’s Livechat facility at gmp.police.uk or 

call 101. Always dial 999 in an emergency. 

If you don’t report a crime to us, you can still get help 

from the independent charity Victim Support. Any 

information you give them will be treated in confidence. 

Contact them today on 0808 168 9111 or visit their 

website: www.victimsupport.org.uk
