When did we last meet Bolton in a league Match

[sixnilup]

Looking forward to Saturdays visit of Bolton, Got me thinking, when did we last meet them in the League?

I vaguely remember an early season encounter at the Goldstone which Albion won 3.1, but that must have been late eighties. I don't even remember any cup matches.

 

[Notters]

1993.

30 Jan 93 1-0 at Burnden Park. Nogan scored.

Here you go. Hilarious commentary at the end, envisaging a Bolton winner as Nogan is cutting through the Bolton defence!

Have we had them in the cup over the last 20 years?

Almost - 2-1 defeat at Burnden Park 25 Jan 1992 in the Fourth Round.

I remember two games against them in the Goldstone glory days: a 2-1 defeat in 1977 and a 3-1 win in 1979. Think it was the first of those I found myself on the East Terrace with a few dozen Wanderers fans immediately behind. It was relatively good natured. Might not have been if they'd lost ...

Blimey, so we haven't played them in my lifetime then? Born in '94

That has to be the most irritating commentary I have EVER heard in my life.

2-1 defeat at Burnden Park 25 Jan 1992 in the Fourth Round.

This isn't good. I was at one of those game, and I can't remember which

 

[Emily's Mum]

We played them on 1st September 1979. A lovely sunny day and there was a minutes' silence as Lord Louis Mountbatten had been killed by the IRA that week. The Bolton fans interrupted the silence.

I must be getting old; I can remember that but can't remember yesterday

Here's some colour photos from the game, Brighton's first ever win in the top flight....

God, I had forgotten how much I loved Kurt Nogan. I was gutted when we sold him, despite his rather long barren patch.

I expect they were dreaming of European football in the next six years, not the nearest club to Europe. (Unless Ipswich is nearer?)
