Everton v Bolton 01.01.1979 @ Burnden Park

Bespoken · August 22, 2012

Hi!
New poster here.
I know it's a long shot, but has anyone got the match-day teams from the above match to hand? It was my first away game with my dear old Dad, and the game was abandoned at half time due to snow. We didn't have a car and I remember the train trip back into Lime Street as if it was yesterday.
I do remember that Georgie Wood was in goal for us and Peter Reid was playing for Bolton, but any accurate update on the teams, or just the Blues, would be most grateful.

Cheers in advance!

I was on that game too - can't remember the teams. It was 0-0 and Reidy broke his leg if I remember correctly. (I could be going senile mind)

Reid broke his leg in that game due to a collision with Georgie Wood. Weird that you remember them two.

There's a seller on eBay selling the programme for that match for 4.99 - he's called thethreeneils222

It was also my first away game - went with my late uncle and cousin but was too young to remember the line up.

The line up in the programme that day was : Wood, Todd, Jones, Lyons, Wright, Nulty, Dobson, King, Latchford, Higgins and Telfer. The ref was Trelford Mills from Barnsley

Hooray - I'm not going senile! Reidy did break his leg.

alan ball · August 22, 2012

Yes he collided with George Wood. Bolton played in ther away shirts (Red) instead of white and an orange ball was also used

Jamo Martinez · August 22, 2012

I was listening to that on the radio. Seem to remember Reidy was bossing it till the injury.
