… scored for Bolton today. Had high hopes for him. I guess he was too injury prone.
He'll always be an Albion legend for the equaliser and winner against Donny.
I also remember him tormenting Dan Harding against Forest at the Amex, if I remember rightly Harding had to be subbed before half-time as he was already on a yellow and was regularly being turned inside out by Buckley.
Richie Towell scored Rotherham's goal today as well. Not sure if he is still on Albion's books.
More importantly, Stephen Dobbie got his 29th of the season today.
And Paddy McCourt played his last game today...

It shows what a long way we've come in just a few years.
Buckley was one of our best players, as were Noone and Bridcutt. We sold them all for tidy sums to sustain our Championship finances.
Never were any of them Premier League quality players though. Never would they be.
When you compare them to what we have now, Knockhaert, Kayal, Izquierdo.. the gulf in quality is huge.
Even if we did go down, if we could keep the players that we have now, we'd be immediate favourites to come back up.
