FROM THE 

MANAGER 

IAN 

EVATT 

I’VE SAID ALL 

ALONG THAT 

NOTHING WILL 

COME EASY 

THIS SEASON 

AND WE WILL 

HAVE TO WORK 

HARD FOR 

EVERYTHING 

WE GET. 

4 | The Wanderer

The Wanderer | 5 

And that has certainly been the case in the last 

few games. Last time we were here we showed 

great spirit and resolve after a tricky few days 

of injuries and the turbulence that the end of 

the January transfer window can bring to come 

back against an in-form Barnsley team and get 

a point. 

We then had the freakish conditions at Cambridge 

which denied us a chance to gather some more 

momentum and then on Saturday at Northampton 

we again had so many things thrown at us. 

Some of it was self-inflicted and again conceding 

an early goal didn’t help our cause and is 

something we have to keep working hard at to try 

and eradicate. 

We didn’t start the game particularly well but we 

didn’t agree with the red card shown to George 

Thomason and that, of course, makes life harder 

still when you have to play for more than an hour 

with 10 men. 

We felt the challenge didn’t merit a red card and 

weren’t happy with some of the other things that 

went on around it. I then spoke to the referee 

at half-time but did not use foul and abusive 

language and thought when I went to our dressing 

room to speak to the players the matter was 

closed. 

I was then amazed to be told I had also been sent 

off and, again, didn’t think that was justified. I will 

be disappointed if I now have to be absent from 

the dug-out for a future game but in, the short 

term, it was about re-organising the team and 

sending them out with a job to do. 

We made a couple of changes in an effort to take 

the game to Northampton and I was delighted with 

the response of the players and their spirit and 

determination to get back into the game. 

We caused a decent team real 

problems with our movement of 

the ball, energy and intensity and, 

in the end, I felt a point was the 

least we deserved. I thought we 

might even get a winner after 

Carlos had scored but, in the 

circumstances, a draw was 

another positive result for us and 

keeps us edging forward. 

Things haven’t gone our way in 

recent weeks, but we have made sure 

we haven’t finishing on the losing side 

very often. One league defeat since mid- 

December and three since early October shows 

the resilience we have built up as a team and a 

squad and means we remain very well placed in 

the table and with our destiny in our own hands. 

We know we need to start turning one point into 

three more often again as the margin for error 

reduces. But I have complete faith in the players 

– and staff – to do that more often than not over 

the run-in. 

Of course, it doesn’t help when you have key men 

missing and losing Nathan Baxter alongside Rico 

was another blow. But we back those coming in 

to step up and do the job, which is why we have 

the squad we have. And when players, like Rico, 

come back it will make us even stronger and more 

competitive. 

We have developed a strong squad and I was 

delighted to see Carlos get his first league goal for 

us at Northampton. Injuries and his absence on 

international duty have limited his opportunities so 

far but I have always said he can be a big player 

for us who produces big moments and hopefully 

that was the first of a few. 

Tonight, we welcome Wycombe, manager Matt 

Bloomfield, his staff, players and the travelling 

fans. They come here after a fantastic result at the 

weekend and we know we’ll need to be at our best 

to get the result we want. 

The game continues our run of mid-week fixtures 

which will now go up to mid-March. It’s a tough 

schedule but one we will embrace and try to use 

to our advantage by turning games in hand into 

points. 

We are still in a fantastic position with 

everything in our own hands. That continues 

to be the message and with your backing 

tonight, hopefully we can together take 

another forward step in the journey. 

Enjoy the game and thanks for your 

support. 

Ian

MATCH ACTION 

NORTHAMPTON TOWN 1 

(Bowie 2) 

WANDERERS 1 

(Mendes Gomes 74) 

SATURDAY 10 FEBRUARY | SKY BET LEAGUE ONE | SIXFIELDS STADIUM 

REFEREE: JEREMY SIMPSON | ATTENDANCE: 7,593 (AWAY 1,370) 

WANDERERS HIT BACK WITH 10 MEN AS 

CARLOS MENDES GOMES SECURED A 

POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT POINT WITH HIS 

FIRST LEAGUE GOAL FOR THE WHITES. 

George Thomason’s red card for a foul on 

Aaron McGowan left the Whites a man light for 

more than an hour. 

Ian Evatt’s men were already losing to a secondminute 

goal from Kieron Bowie and also lost the 

services of their manager after Evatt was also 

dismissed at the break. 

Assistant boss Peter Atherton took over in the 

technical area and with Wanderers sending on 

forwards Mendes Gomes and Aaron Collins, the 

visitors were re-energised. 

And Wanderers’ reward for an excellent secondhalf 

performance was an equaliser from Mendes 

Gomes 16 minutes from time. 

Louie Moulden – brother of Wanderers’ kitman 

Ted – had come on for Town at half-time and the 

keeper made a decent save to keep out a dipping 

long-range volley from Eoin Toal. 

But he was powerless to prevent Mendes Gomes 

heading home his first goal since returning from 

international duty at the African Cup of Nations 

from the corner that followed. 

Wanderers then went for the winner as Moulden 

twice denied Collins in an almighty goalmouth 

scramble which saw the Whites pepper the 

Cobblers’ goal. 

Northampton Town: Burge (Moulden HT); 

McGowan (Lintott 35), Willis, Guthrie, Brough; 

Leonard, Gape (Fox 63), Hondermarck (Springett 

76); Pinnock, Bowie, Appere (Simpson 76). 

Substitutes: Monthe, Haynes. 

Wanderers: Coleman; Jones, Taylor (Iredale 76), 

Toal; Sheehan (Morley 84); Ramsay (Mendes 

Gomes HT), Dempsey, Thomason, Ashworth; 

Charles (Jerome 76), Adeboyejo (Collins HT). 

Substitutes: Bodvarsson, Maghoma. 

6 | The Wanderer


Town then went close themselves as Joel Coleman 

– making his league debut for Wanderers in place 

of the injured Nathan Baxter – was forced to save 

from Ben Fox. 

But the Whites had done enough to extend 

their unbeaten run to four games with a second 

successive comeback keeping them within a point 

of second-placed Derby with two games in hand in 

the promotion race.

CALEB 

TAYLOR 

A CHIP OFF THE OLD 

BLOCK IN EVERY SENSE, 

CALEB TAYLOR ADMITS 

HIS LIFE WAS ONLY 

GOING TO GO ONE WAY, 

WRITES PETE OLIVER. 

CALEB TAYLOR 

IS PROUDLY 

SPONSORED BY:

Born in Burnley while his father was playing for 

arch-rivals Blackburn Rovers, football was in 

the genes. 

Martin Taylor’s subsequent move to Birmingham 

City meant Caleb grew up in the Midlands but 

the die was cast and after joining West Bromwich 

Albion as a boy his career path has followed a 

similar trajectory – so far. 

“My dad played in the Premier League so there 

are high expectations. I’ve got a bit to go!” laughs 

Taylor junior when asked about following in his 

father’s footsteps. 

Martin Taylor made his first team bow in the topflight 

with Rovers in March, 1999 – four years 

before Caleb was born – and also played in the 

Premier League for the Blues before moving into 

the Championship with Watford and Sheffield 

Wednesday. 

“I do remember some Birmingham games,” 

recalled Caleb. “I remember him being at Watford 

and I remember clearly a few Sheffield Wednesday 

games, the last club he was at. 

“I remember going there to watch and it was 

strange when I played there last season. I 

remembered going inside the players’ rooms and 

lounge when I was a kid. Then being back playing 

there as a player myself was weird.” 

Dubbed ‘Tiny’ throughout his playing days, which 

also brought him an England U21 cap, Martin 

stood at six-feet-four. Caleb has already surpassed 

that height and while showing an interest in other 

sports, was always destined to go down a familiar 

path as an imposing central defender. 

“I feel like it’s never been a case when I wasn’t 

going to be a footballer,” he admitted. “I just grew 

up playing football. I was in the Academy (at The 

Hawthorns) and kept getting a contract and then, 

all of a sudden, you are training with the first team 

at 16 or 17. 

“That’s when it starts getting serious and then 

you get your first pro (contract) and you’ve turned 

footballer. It’s just always been that. Never anything 

else.” 

While Martin – who was at the Toughsheet 

Community Stadium to watch his son’s Wanderers’ 

debut at the start of the month – has been a ready 

ear and example to follow, Caleb also attributes the 

role of his mum, Vicky, in his development. 

“I talk to my parents pretty much every day,” added 

the 21-year-old, who is one of three sons. “As well 

as my dad, my mum has helped me a lot in terms 

of being mentally strong. She has always drummed 

that into me.” 

Mental fortitude certainly plays its part in forging 

a successful professional career and Taylor has 

evidently shown what it takes to make the early 

positive steps. 

Progressing right through the ranks with the 

Baggies – alongside good friend and now 

temporary team-mate Zac Ashworth – Taylor 

played in the EFL Trophy in the 2020/21 season 

before getting his first taste of senior football with 

the Baggies the following season. 

However, it was in a season-long loan with 

Cheltenham Town last term that the towering 

defender got his first prolonged experience of firstteam 

football and everything that goes with it as he 

helped the Robins finish 16th in League One. 

12 | The Wanderer


“It was my first real taste of men’s football and I 

learned so much from all the lads and the staff 

there,” said Taylor. “It was a good season and 

playing in League One already gave me a bit of 

confidence that I can do it. 

“In January I came on away at Norwich (for West 

Brom) and played against Wolves as a substitute a 

couple of weekends ago in the FA Cup. They are 

big teams, so playing against them has given me a 

lot of confidence to come here and do well.” 

Taylor is held in high regard at the Hawthorns. But 

with most of his appearances for the Baggies so 

far coming from the bench, it was in everyone’s 

interests for him to get out and play regularly in the 

second half of the season. 

It took until deadline day at the end of the January 

transfer window for his move to Wanderers to 

happen and Taylor is delighted it was the Whites 

who won the chase. 

Pitched straight in for a debut against Barnsley, 

Taylor had big boots to fill as the replacement for 

injured captain Ricardo Almeida Santos as a key 

defender and, often, the man who launches the 

play for Ian Evatt’s men. 

“It’s definitely a lot of responsibility, because 

you’re either starting the play or you can’t mess up 

because you’re closest to the goal,” he said. “It’s 

similar to the goalkeeper but I really enjoy it. I’ve 

been doing it for years, so I have got used to it, but 

it’s definitely been good to get some games in and 

get used to how it feels.” 

Taylor has certainly had to pick things up quickly 

with Wanderers twice having to come from behind 

in his two games so far (either side of the wash-out 

at Cambridge) to secure valuable points against 

Barnsley and then at Northampton Town last 

Saturday. 

Both results have kept the Whites on the edge of 

the automatic promotion places with games in 

hand on the sides above them going into tonight’s 

game against Wycombe Wanderers – the first of 

two home games in five days. 

Evatt isn’t short of defensive options for the rest 

of the run-in and Taylor is hungry to be part of a 

squad pushing for promotion. 

“I’ve settled in so well, it feels like I’ve been here for 

ages,” he added. “They’re all great and have made 

me feel so welcome which shows what a great 

group they are. 

“The lads have been saying in the changing room 

that it’s such a great environment. Everyone is 

bantering each other and having a good time but 

it’s also serious on the other side because we want 

to do well. 

“I’ve been waiting to play first-team football all 

this season, so to be doing it in a place like this is 

special. It was a really good experience walking out 

in front of all the fans here for me debut. 

“Every game is going to be a big game from now 

if we get what we want, so I’m just really looking 

forward to playing a part in it.” 

With a couple of promotions on his career CV, 

Martin Taylor has laid the blueprint. Like father, like 

son

PATIENCE PAID OFF FOR CARLOS MENDES 

GOMES AS HE OPENED HIS LEAGUE ONE 

SCORING ACCOUNT FOR THE WHITES. 

Mendes Gomes added to his two goals in the 

Bristol Street Motors Trophy with Wanderers’ 

equaliser at Northampton Town on Saturday. 

It was a big goal for the Whites, who hit back with 

10 men to claim a precious point. 

And it also meant a lot to Mendes Gomes after a 

disrupted start to his Wanderers’ career for the 

former Morecambe and Luton Town man. 

“For me it's been a little bit tough this season, being 

injured and out for two months and then having to 

go away with the national team,” he said. 

“It’s an honour to play for my country but I'm happy 

to be back and we know the next three months are 

going to be very important. 

“I am delighted to help the team and every time I 

have been out there that has been my goal.” 

Mendes Gomes came off the bench at the Sixfields 

Stadium, where his second-half header 

capped an impressive fightback from 

the 10-man Whites in his third appearance since 

returning from the Africa Cup of Nations with 

Guinea Bissau. 

The 24-year-old is yet to start a league game for 

the Whites since signing from Luton last summer 

but could still have a big part to play in the run-in 

as Ian Evatt’s men look to sustain a promotion 

challenge which continues tonight against Wycome 

Wanderers at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. 

“It is always special at our stadium, and when I 

get the chance I will do my best,” Mendes Gomes 

added. 

“Scoring goals as an attacking player gives you 

confidence. The support from the fans has been 

unbelievable, away from home especially, and it's 

always nice to score in front of them. 

“My goal is to help the team in any shape or form. 

I believe there is a lot more to come from me and 

I have been patient. But I am blessed to be here, 

happy to be here, and I want to help the team in 

any way.”

FROM THE ARCHIVES 

ARCHIE FREEBAIRN 

(1869-1917) 

Archie Freebairn hailed from Glasgow and 

began his career with Partick Thistle. He 

moved south to Bolton in 1894, making his 

debut on the opening day of the season, a 

2-2 draw with Stoke at Pikes Lane. 

On the last day of that season the wing half 

scored his only goal of that term in a 5-0 win 

against West Brom in what was the final League 

game at Pikes Lane. He played in the first 

League game at Burnden Park and was to serve 

Bolton Wanderers for thirteen years making 315 

first team appearances. 

His 135 consecutive League appearances 

between 1894 and 1899 remain a club record 

for an outfield player. He became captain in 

1899 and helped the club to promotion to 

Division One in 1900 and 1905. In 1904 he 

played in the FA Cup final against Manchester 

City that resulted in City winning 1-0 to register 

their first major honour. 

After retiring he became an insurance agent in 

Bolton where he remained for the remainder of 

his life.

Cup runners up medal, stewards badge for the

OPPOSITION 

WYCOMBE 

WANDERERS 

IT’S BEEN A NEW ERA AT WYCOMBE WANDERERS 

SINCE MATT BLOOMFIELD REPLACED GARETH 

AINSWORTH AS MANAGER A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH. 

Last February, Ainsworth called time on his 

lengthy stay at Adams Park to take over at 

former club Queens Park Rangers. 

That move didn’t work out for the ex-Hoops’ 

forward, who was to stay just eight months at 

Loftus Road on his return. 

His legacy is safe at Wycombe, however, after 

more than a decade in charge of the Chairboys, 

where he also ended his playing career and 

oversaw two promotion successes. 

The second of those saw Wycombe’s stay in the 

Championship in 2020/21 last just one season 

before 12 months later they were only denied an 

instant return by defeat to Sunderland in the 

League One play-off final at Wembley. 

A play-off challenge was on the cards again last 

season before Ainsworth’s departure, following a 

1-0 home win over Wanderers, and a subsequent 

ninth-place finish. 

Another Wycombe stalwart, former midfielder 

Bloomfield, was the man charged with filling the 

void as he recently passed 50 league games in the 

Wycombe hot seat. 

After a tough end to last season, Bloomfield’s men 

made a decent start to the current campaign to sit 

around the early top-six pace-setters. 

A testing run of 12 league games without a win up 

to the turn of the year – including Wanderers’ first 

ever win at Adams Park – paused that momentum 

as Wycombe slipped off the play-off pace. 

18 | The Wanderer


A run of just one loss in seven league games 

since Boxing Day (before Saturday’s visit of 

Peterborough) steadied the ship and kept them 

clear of the bottom four. 

Bloomfield added seven news faces to his squad 

in January to keep building but Wycombe’s best 

chance of success this season looks set to come in 

the Bristol Street Motors Trophy following their run 

to the semi-finals. 

Two goals from former Wanderers’ wideman 

Kieran Sadlier saw them overcome Brighton’s U21s 

in the last eight. 

And League Two Bradford City now stand in their 

way of a trip to Wembley and the chance to end 

the season on a high with some silverware.

THE BOSS 

MATT BLOOMFIELD 

WAS PART OF THE 

FURNITURE AT ADAMS 

PARK AND SAW HIS 

NAME PUT ON THE 

MANAGER’S DOOR 

LAST FEBRUARY. 

A magnificent servant to the club as a player, 

the midfielder played all his first-team football 

for the Chairboys, bar a solitary League Cup 

appearance for Ipswich Town where he started 

his career. 

Felixstowe-born Bloomfield played over 550 

games for Wycombe and enjoyed three 

promotions with the club before a head 

injury sustained in 2021 forced the 

former captain to hang up his boots. 

He moved into coaching at 

Wycombe before taking over as 

manager at Colchester United in 

September, 2022. 

An impressive start to life in the dug-out 

saw Bloomfield lead the U’s away from 

relegation danger towards the bottom 

of League Two before Wycombe picked 

up the phone 12 months ago. 

Bloomfield – who turned 40 last week 

– accepted the challenge of filling the 

boots of former team-mate and muchloved 

boss Gareth Ainsworth. 

And he, and the club, will now be 

hoping for another prolonged stay to 

write another successful chapter in his 

Wycombe story.

GONE BUT NOT 

FORGOTTEN 

CLUB HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND 

LOOKS BACK AT GROUNDS NO LONGER IN 

EXISTENCE WHERE THE WANDERERS 

HAVE PLAYED IN THE PAST. 

FELLOWS PARK 

(WALSALL) 

Walsall moved to Fellows Park in 1896 

and remained there until 1990 when they 

transferred to The Bescot Stadium situated a 

quarter of a mile away. Until 1930 Fellows Park 

was known as Hilary Street and was renamed 

after H.L. Fellows who was a club director. 

The Wanderers made eight League visits to 

Fellows Park, failing to win on any occasion, the 

first coming in November 

1899 (programme pictured) 

when a 2-2 draw resulted 

as Bolton went on to win 

promotion from the Second 

Division as runners up to 

Sheffield Wednesday. 

Bolton’s next visit wasn’t 

until July 1969 for a preseason 

friendly, (programme 

pictured) the home side winning 1-0, the remaining 

seven League visits all coming in the third tier. In 

April 1972 a John Byrom goal earned a 1-1 draw 

with Brian Taylor netting for The Saddlers. 

In October 1972 Wanderers ‘keeper Charlie Wright 

missed his first game since joining the club through 

injury, manager Jimmy Armfield giving a debut to 

18 years old Barry Siddall (pictured) but he couldn’t 

22 | The Wanderer


prevent Bolton going down by 3-2. 

The home side, top of the table at 

the time, led 3-0 at the interval and 

the second half saw Bolton hit back 

with goals from Paul Jones and Roy 

Greaves. At the end of that term 

Wanderers were champions whilst 

Walsall finished 17th. 

It wasn’t until January 1984 that the 

sides faced each other again at the 

venue. A Craig Shakespeare goal 

winning the points for the Saddlers 

to inflict some small revenge for their 

8-1 defeat at Burnden Park earlier in 

the season. 

The next two trips both ended in 

defeat without scoring with the 

Wanderers ending the game in 

September 1985 with nine men after 

both David Cross and George Oghani received 

their marching orders. 

In October 1986 a point was earned from a 3-3 

draw thanks to a last minute penalty save by 

Wanderers ‘keeper Mike Salmon. Two goals in as 

many minutes from Steve Thompson (penalty) and 

Tony Caldwell gave Bolton an interval lead but 

the home side were level within the hour through 

Kenny Mower and Craig Shakespeare. Striker 

Steve Elliott (pictured), who joined Wanderers 

from Walsall four months earlier, put Bolton back 

in front before David Kelly converted a penalty to 

level things up. Kelly stepped up to 

take the last minute penalty that saw 

Salmon’s save earn a point. 

Bolton’s last visit to Fellows Park 

was in April 1990, a Tony Philliskirk 

penalty wasn’t enough as a 2-1 

defeat set the Wanderers up to 

record just one win in the final eight 

League games to sneak into the 

play-offs which ended at the hands 

of Notts County. 

Bolton’s record at the Bescot 

Stadium has been no better. Three 

League visits have all ended in 

defeat, the first of which came in the 

second tier in January 2000 by 2-0, 

the last was in December 2020, Eoin 

Doyle netting (pictured scoring) in a 

2-1 reverse in a game played behind closed doors. 

In Cup football Wanderers have registered a win 

at The Bescot Stadium, a second round League 

Cup tie in September 2006 seeing a 3-1 success 

with goals from Ivan Campo, Kevin Nolan and Nic 

Anelka, who netted his first goal for the club. 

Whilst Bolton’s record at either venue in Walsall 

hasn’t produced much success, conversely The 

Saddlers visits to Bolton has seen them win just 

once in fourteen League and cup visits.

Bristol Rovers striker Chris Martin for his five goals 

during January. 

Wanderers’ boss Ian Evatt was also short-listed 

for the Sky Bet League One January manager of 

the month award which went to Richie Welles of 

Leyton Orient. 

Josh Sheehan is Wanderers’ Bolton Kia Player 

of the Month for January. 

Sheehan topped an online supporters’ poll to win 

the award, which has been re-introduced for 2024. 

The midfielder continued his superb run of form 

and helped the Whites to three wins out of four in 

League One and to reach the quarter-finals of the 

Bristol Street Motors Trophy. 

Sheehan also showed his class in two appearances 

against Premier League opposition as Wanderers 

took Luton Town to a third-round replay of the FA 

Cup. 

“January was a really good month for us in 

terms of our results in the league and our league 

position,” said Sheehan. 

“I was glad to play my part and it means a lot to 

win the award. Thanks to the supporters who voted 

for me. 

Wanderers will be back at Cambridge United on 

Tuesday, 20th February (KO 7.45pm). 

The League One fixture at the Abbey Stadium was 

re-scheduled after the original game a week ago 

was abandoned early on to due to a water-logged 

pitch. 

Tickets bought for the first date will be valid for the 

re-arranged fixture, with refunds available to anyone 

who can’t make the return trip from the Wanderers’ 

ticket office up to 10am on the day of the match. 

Free travel will be available to those who travelled 

on the two official club coaches to the original 

game on 6th February. 

Anyone who travelled on those coaches is asked to 

retain their original coach ticket or contact the ticket 

office on 01204 328 888 if they require their coach 

tickets to be reprinted. 

“Hopefully me and the team can carry on this form 

to make it an exciting end to the season and we 

achieve what we all want.” 

Sheehan’s performances also earned a him a 

nomination for the Sky Bet League One January 

player of the month. 

The Welshman was selected on a four-man 

shortlist for the prize, which went to

HOW BWitC ARE PROVIDING 

INCLUSIVE SPORTING PATHWAYS 

WITH PANATHLON CHALLENGE 

Through a longstanding partnership with 

Panathlon Challenge, Bolton Wanderers in the 

Community are providing inclusive sporting 

events for primary and secondary aged pupils 

which ultimately aim to increase confidence, 

self-esteem and leadership qualities. 

The most recent example of this being the 

Panathlon North West Regional Ten Pin Bowling 

Finals for Secondary Schools and Colleges at 

Hollywood Bowl, Bolton. Tailored for SEND pupils, 

all teams had pre-qualified through winning 

their local events, with schools across Greater 

Manchester also having to finish in the top three 

in their County Finals, such is the demand for the 

programme in this County. 

Speaking at one of the events, a teacher from High 

Lawn, Bolton, said: “I can’t think of any of the boys 

I’ve brought today who’ve competed in anything 

with school before (these events). This game in itself 

embodies a level playing field.” 

Eighteen school teams travelled to compete in 

Bolton from as far as Blackpool, South Lakes and 

Pendle, with over 100 participants representing 

their respective schools. 

Elaine Dodwell of Cartmel Priory said: “There are 

children who wouldn’t have this opportunity. It’s a 

leveller. Not only are we playing, we’re playing to win 

and take back a trophy like any other school team 

would.” 

Another opportunity provided at these events, is 

the Young Sport Leaders course currently being 

undertaken by Year 10 Pupils studying Option PE at 

Little Lever School. 

During the course, the group will be brought to 

Bolton Arena and trained by our Disability Project 

Officer Debbie, in delivering inclusive sporting 

events to younger students with SEND needs. 

Mrs Bannister, of Little Lever School, said: “The 

maturity levels have gone through the roof since they 

started. You can see they now have new empathy for 

children with disabilities and are able to adapt the 

way they communicate and interact with different 

people with different needs. 

“This newfound confidence and maturity has a ripple 

effect that you can see through the rest of their 

school work. They’re working harder, they know what 

they need to do. It’s developed them as a whole, 

really.”

dominated until then and conceded two secondhalf 

goals to lose 2-0. At the time, the top three in 

the old Second Division were Northampton, Bolton 

and Newcastle. The other two were promoted 

and very soon afterwards, Newcastle signed Wyn

BUILDING 

COMMUNITY 

Through the charity arm of the Club, Bolton 

Wanderers in the Community are engaging 

many areas and neighbourhoods across Bolton. 

This can never be done alone and a key partner 

of the charity for many years has been Bolton 

at Home, and we are delighted to be hosting 

members of the Bolton at Home team at 

tonight’s game. 

A community is about the family, support, friends 

and being part of a neighbourhood. Bolton 

at Home are more than a provider of social 

housing in Bolton. Within the community they 

play an important part in offering support in 

neighbourhoods and the wider community and 

help in making Bolton a better place for many 

people. 

Through the support of Bolton at Home, Bolton 

Wanderers in the Community have been able to 

deliver the Premier League for Kicks programme 

in some of the most deprived areas of Bolton 

and help in reducing anti-social behaviour and in 

giving participants a more positive outlook on life. 

This programme looks to support young people in 

their neighbourhoods to engage in positive activity, 

including sport, and to break down barriers that 

may exist. It is about encouraging these young 

people to see their own talents and gifts 

and for them to have the self-confidence to make a 

change in their lives. 

This in turn gives the young people involved 

greater self-esteem and helps to build their 

aspirations. 

We have seen lives changed through this 

programme and young people look to a new 

direction and have hope for the future. 

The Bolton at Home partnership is one we 

are particularly proud of and through the 

partnership we have seen a building of resilience 

in communities and have had the opportunity to 

support residents of Bolton at Home to engage 

further with their Club and to attend games at the 

stadium. 

Building community is key to what we are doing 

as a football club and it is vital that we continue to 

play our part, in partnership with others, in making 

our town a better place to live and work. 

We are One Club, One Community, One Town. We 

are all Wanderers. 

Enjoy the game.

THE B TEAM ADDED 

TO THEIR GAMES’ 

PROGRAMME WITH A 

TRAINING-GROUND 

FRIENDLY AGAINST 

MANCHESTER 

UNITED’S U21S. 

The young Whites led at Carrington through a 

goal from a trialist before losing 4-1. 

The game at United adds to a varied itinerary 

planned for the B Team in an effort to add to 

their experience and expose them to a number of 

different types of opponents. 

NELSON 

KHUMBENI MADE 

A WINNING START 

TO HIS EFL CAREER 

AFTER STEPPING 

INTO LEAGUE TWO 

WITH MORECAMBE. 

The Wanderers’ midfielder joined the Shrimps 

on loan for the rest of the season on transfer 

deadline day and made a winning debut at 

Crawley Town. 

Khumbeni has previously made a couple of senior 

appearances via the bench for the Whites in 

cup competitions since joining the B Team from 

Norwich City in August, 2022. 

The 21-year-old then made eight National League 

appearances in an impressive loan spell at AFC 

Fylde earlier this season and after recovering from 

injury joined Morecambe with Wanderers keen for 

him to gain competitive first-team experience at his 

highest level yet. 

A scheduled fixture against Fylde fell foul of the 

weather last week and following a planned friendly 

this week, Andy Taylor’s side is next in Central 

League action at Salford City next Tuesday. 

YOUNG STRIKER 

CONOR CARTY 

HAS RETURNED TO 

WANDERERS FOR 

TREATMENT AFTER 

SUFFERING A KNEE 

INJURY DURING 

HIS LOAN SPELL AT 

DONCASTER ROVERS. 

Carty was in his fifth appearance for the League 

Two side when he suffered the injury in their 

Bristol Street Motors Trophy tie at Bradford City 

at the end of January. 

The Youth Team will face Blackburn Rovers U18s 

in the final of the Lancashire FA Professional Youth 

Cup at Leyland on Tuesday, 12 March (KO 7.30pm).

GOLDEN GOAL WINNERS! 

Here are a few of our recent lucky Golden Goal 

Winners. 

Most recently (at time of writing) Garry Dickinson 

of Ladybridge was the Golden Goal Winner from 

the rescheduled game versus Cheltenham Town 

on the 23rd January. 

Garry brought his wife 

Nicola to her first ever 

game and bought his 

Golden Goal tickets 

from our seller Jason 

outside the Club Store. 

When the first goal hit 

the back of the net at 

23mins and 22 secs, 

they couldn’t believe 

their eyes. 

Garry is celebrating his 50th birthday this year so 

the money will go towards a holiday for them to 

celebrate this milestone, congratulations to them 

both. 

The game versus Burton Albion saw Gregory 

Goldston win the £500 prize. 

Gregory travels from Tamworth, Staffordshire 

every home and away game to support the mighty 

Whites and intends to spend his winnings on away 

tickets and petrol travelling to home and away 

games, among other things. 

Gregory bought his winning ticket with 

the time 50 mins and 4 seconds from 

our seller Jason 

outside the Club 

Store. Congratulations 

Gregory. 

So that’s two winners 

for Jason over the last 

couple of home league 

games. Will he make it 

three or will it be one of 

our other sellers? Sellers are based throughout the 

Lower Concourse, Outside the Club Shop, in the 

Fanzone, in the hotel and throughout Hospitality 

areas. 

However, with only 1801 tickets on sale every 

game, tickets do sell out quickly so make sure you 

get yours as soon as you spot our sellers. 

Each £1 ticket gives you three chances to win, with 

three separate times printed and this is the case for 

1800 tickets. The final ticket has 00 – 00 printed, 

just in case we have a 0-0 draw so we have all 

bases covered. 

Players must be 18 years old or over. Tickets are £1 

and this is cash only. 

All monies raised from the Golden Goal, after 

prizes and expenses have been paid, is used by the 

BWDA to fund projects throughout the Club that 

would not be possible without your support. 

Thank you to all who support our efforts and we 

hope you’re a winner with us soon.
