losesome Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 For those that can remember I've just read that John Bollands passed away on Sept 16th. Our goalie in the 60s but sadly remembered for the 90 yard clearance that bounced over his head against WHU in the cup. RIP Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parigby Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Wasn't it a under pressure hoof out of the WH penalty area by their centre half, a guy called Brown ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yes caught off his line by a hoof ball from about 70 yards out. A very good and agile goalkeeper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I seem to remember a partly frozen pitch being responsible for a high bounce of the ball landing in front of Bollands at the Chaddy end. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Played for England u23 and a good keeper for Latics. Deserves to be remembered for more than the West Ham goal. Fought for the no 1 spot with Jimmy Rollo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
