Synopsis
THE post-war years were the halcyon days of English football as crowds flocked to grounds across the country in numbers never seen before or since. After the hardships and austerity of World War Two, football provided the main leisure pursuit for the masses. In a new series of books Heroes of Winter looks at the teams that made an indelible mark in this era. And none were more feared than Bolton Wanderers, led throughout this period by the talismanic Nat Lofthouse. Drawing on the personal testimony of players and fans, the book relives the key matches and moments in what was one of the club’s undoubted golden eras – and with a team assembled for £110. It includes Bolton Wanderers’ involvement in two of the most famous FA Cup Finals. The first, in 1953 against Blackpool, has gone into history as the ‘Matthews Final’, while in 1958 Bolton lifted the Cup against Manchester United in the shadow of the Munich tragedy. Heroes of Winter – Bolton Wanderers makes fascinating reading for anyone interested in the fortunes of this grand old club.
