The world famous Wolverhampton Wanderers travel tomorrow to their namesake Bolton Wanderers, whose fame has barely reached nearby Farnworth.
Despite copying the glorious Wolverhampton Wanderers name in the hope that some of their success will rub off, Bolton have in their 146 years not troubled the scorers, as they say in cricket, in comparison to the magnificent men from Molineux.
A brief resume - or in Bolton speak look, pronounced lewk - shows
League Champions
Wonderful Wolverhampton Wanderers .........3 Times
Bolton ..........Nil, Null, Zilch, Not even once
League Cup Winners
The Only Wanderers ....... Twice
Notlob ........ You Guessed it ....Zero
European Finalists
Mighty Wanderers ..... Once
Bolton ........ What ! They wouldn't know where Europe was !
Fair play they did well in the early 2000's and spent a few years in the Prem - they did have to get a Magical Wolverhampton Wanderers supporter in as manager to do it though.
Their current manager has brought about an improvement recently - no need to ask who he used to play for.
Pathetic isn't it , although they are reputedly the bees-knees at clog dancing.

All joking apart, lads, you're a "proper" club with real history and a decent fan-base.
You deserve better than you're currently getting.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Davis out for the season with smashed ankle ligaments. Looking doomed without him, Seb, Sako and whoever else fancies getting injured against Huddersfield.
Henry and O'Hara supplying Doyle does not fill me with confidence.

This is in a small Herefordshire village.
I don't suppose Keith expected to meet a mad 6'4" part sausage-muncher Wolves fan ..... just as I didn't expect to find Paddy McGuiness's twin moving in three doors away !

Well, if he IS Paddy McUsless' twin brother, give him a swift dig from me.
