MARLAND’S MUSINGS WANDERERS MATTERS WITH CLUB HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND… THE LADS OF ‘23 Having seen off Norwich City and Leeds United in previous rounds, fate decreed that the Wanderers would visit fellow First Division side Huddersfield Town in the Third round, a tie that took place on 24th February 1923. The Terriers, who were cup holders, were a massive club and were to go on and win a hat trick of Championships in 1924, 1925 and 1926. The Trotters however were in good form, having lost just once in the eight games played to date in 1923, a 1-0 reverse at Cardiff City. Leeds Road was a mud bath with the ball becoming a dead weight, but Bolton played some good football considering the conditions and were rewarded when David Jack (pictured) gave them a first half lead. Huddersfield had more of the play after the interval, but Bolton’s task was made much harder when Walter Rowley, (pictured) a future Bolton manager, was sent off ten minutes into the half. Ernie Islip equalised for the home side and the Wanderers defence fought heroically to earn a replay the following Wednesday afternoon. A large crowd welcomed the team back to Trinity Street at eight o’clock that Saturday night, whilst there was to be a half day holiday in the mills and engineering firms in the town announced a cessation of work for Wednesday afternoon to allow workers to attend the game. Bolton prepared by attending the brine baths at Northwich and a crowd of 61,609 attended the replay at Burnden Park. They gave Bolton a massive ovation as they entered the field, the game starting at a furious pace with the left-wing combination of Joe Smith and Ted Vizard causing problems for the visitors. What turned out to be the only goal of the game came in the 53rd minute. Vizard skipped past two defenders, centred to Jack who was inside the penalty area, he hit the ball first time low into the net to send the crowd wild with delight. Bolton were the last team from Lancashire to still be in the competition and the quarter final draw sent them to face giant killers Charlton Athletic of the Third Division South. www.bwfc.co.uk The Wanderer | 17
