Wanderers Memories: Whites' home rule

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Wanderers boast an excellent home record against Cardiff City – having won their previous 11 meetings against the Welshmen before Saturday’s FA Cup defeat.

In fact, no Whites side had suffered defeat against the Bluebirds since 1970.

Pictures from two of the most resounding victories are printed here – with, left, Peter Reid celebrating a goal at Burnden Park in 1977 (a moustachioed Sam Allardyce also holding arms aloft).

That game ended 6-3 with Paul Jones also scoring twice, and Neil Whatmore, Mike Walsh and Willie Morgan netting once each. The team that day was: McDonagh, Nicholson, Clements, Dunne, Jones, Allardyce, Morgan, Whatmore, Walsh, Reid, Worthington. Sub: Train.

The photograph on the right shows Asa Hartford in action during a 5-0 thumping of Cardiff in 1986.

The goals that day came from Warren Joyce, Mark Came, Phil Neal, George Oghani and Tony Caldwell.

The team was: Felgate, Scott, Phillips, Sutton, Came, Joyce, Neal, Oghani, Cadlwell, Hartford, Bell. Sub: Rudge.

No, my home pc mate. There's a black and white pic of Reidy and Big Sam but nothing to the right of it at all. There's your text under it and that's it.

Apologies, I read your post wrong.

That is the full picture that was posted in the BEN.

Morgan, Joyce, Oghani and to a lesser extent Whatmore   

Didn't George "Ironing Board Thief" Oghani play for your lot, Copps?

Play for us, get nicked for shop-lifting then move to Burnley.........

Seems about right.

Yes that's why I named them four Bolton goalscorers, who played for Burnley as well.

It's a bit hazy now but he robbed the ironing board from Woolworths whilst at Burnley and hit a security man/store detective with it.

Hence the chant.........

OOH George Oghani
Hit him o'er head wi' t ironing board
OOH George Oghani OOH George Oghani
