Bolton 1923 Cup Final.
The FA Cup Final of 1923, commonly known as The White Horse Final was the first football match to be played at the new Wembley Stadium. The game featured West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers, and such was the eagerness of fans and casual observers to attend the final at the new national stadium that vast numbers of people crammed into the stadium, far exceeding its official 127,000 capacity. The crowds overflowed onto the pitch as there was no room on the terraces. The number of fans in attendance is generally estimated at 240,000 with a further 60,000 locked outside.
It fell to mounted policemen, among them P.C. George Scorey on his giant horse Billie, to try to clear the crowds from the pitch.Eventually the police were able to manoeuvre the crowds to just beyond the touchline, and the game went ahead approximately 45 minutes late with fans standing around the perimeter of the pitch. Bolton eventually won the match 2-0 with goals from David Jack and Jack Smith.

WANDERERSWartime Wanderers.
The war against Germany is about to be declared. In front of a 23,000-strong crowd at Burnden Park, Bolton Wanderers captain, Harry Goslin, gives a rousing speech before leading the entire team to the local Territorial Army drill hall where they all sign up. For the next six years, as gunners in the 53rd Field Regiment of the Bolton Artillery, they face some of the heaviest fighting of World War II, in France, North Africa and Italy, and also establish themselves as a formidable regimental football team. Of the full squad only one is killed in action - the remainder return home to their families and to their football careers. Ray Westwood, Ernie Forest, and Stan Hanson were among the star names.

Bolton Wanderers v Manchester Utd 1958 FA Cup Final
It had been 29 years since Bolton Wanderers had last won the FA Cup, and facing a Manchester United side that had been decimated by the Munich air disaster, there would rarely be a more emotive match between the two local rivals.
United had the emotional backing of the nation, but with the memories of 1953 still fresh in many players minds, Bolton were intent on making amends for the heartbreak suffered only 5 years earlier to Blackpool.
Bolton were simply the better team on the day, and it took only 3 minutes for one of the town’s greatest sons to break the deadlock. Edwards crossed and Nat Lofthouse beat Harry Gregg in the United goal from close range, but that wouldn’t be the only time that the paths of these old adversaries would cross in this match.
In the 55th minute an incident occurred that has been spoke about as fervently today as it was then. A shot from Stevens was saved by Gregg, but as he collected the ball, an on-rushing Nat Lofthouse bundled both the keeper and the ball into the net and the goal was given.
United had no way back, and the cup was heading back to Burnden Park for the fourth time in the Club’s illustrious history. Now relive the whole game once again, as we bring you the full 90 minutes plus exclusive interviews with…shot in September 2004. If you were there or not, this is one piece of history that must be owned.
