Had Bolton got a draw from this game Nottingham Forest would not have won the first division and subsequently the European cup in the next two years

Does anyone know of anywhere that has any other Bolton matches from around this period? I only ask as my dad was the number 5 for Bolton (Paul Jones, the one that gave away the free kick and put the ball in the net after the whistle) and want to see whether he was actually any good, or get more reasons to make fun of him.

Another great posting, Mercian. Thought at the time there was something wrong with the goal, but I was wrong. However, Bolton were desperately unlucky with Whatmore’s disallowed effort. The lasting memory is of the visible grief of some of the Bolton fans after the final whistle.

…and if Bolton could have at least drawn that game and then got points in their last game at Bristol Rovers a few days later. They would have gone up instead of Brian Cloughs Forest. Nottingham Forests incredible 1977-8 league win would never have happened if Bolton had not blown this game!

Remember this! I was one of 8000+ Wolves fans there celebrating winning that league. Lots of trouble before the game when Wolves fans broke down a wooden fence & chased the home fans out of the other half of that end. They virtually took over the town on what should have been Boltons big day.
Bolton deserved promotion with Wolves & Chelsea, including future managers Allardyce & Reid were pretty frustrated with most of the play but couldn’t get a goal. Still, they won Div 2 the next year.
