Know the lovely lady on the left in pic 4.
One of my jobs at Rovers is to take what progs she and the other sellers have left and work out how many each one sold.Never see the 1st 10 mins of a game. _________________ I am not gas, I am a Pirate.

Surely the greatest of all programme sellers has to be the legendary Ruth Crawshaw of Bolton Wanderers fame, now perhaps late 80's and still she sits on a little stool at every home game all on her own, not to mention she is the greatest Bolton Wanderers collector and still does the fairs.
What a star for sure, I love her crumpled bits of paper and told her so recently and then bought some off her!
Hail rain or shine she gets my vote numero uno

I'll second that.
Met Ruth on a few occasions at fairs and matches.
A true supporter dedicated to BWFC and with a tremendous collection.
The last time I saw her was when she turned up at a very wet and windy Squires Gate for a Lancashire Senior Cup match.
Even atrocious conditions at a training ground venue couldn't put her off following her team and there was no teamsheet issued either. |

She is undoubtedly Bolton's most loyal fan and yet if you go on a busy Bolton forum and start talking about Ruth it won't be long before there's some vitriol.Go on the same forum and start talking about other "celebrity fans " such as the old club video commentator Dave Higson or the massive Bolton/England fan Ferny who died in a road accident and nobody will have a bad word to say about them.
Somebody very close to me has an unpleasant story about Ruth as far back as the 1966 World Cup when the Brazil squad were training in Bolton.It's fair to say she's certainly more popular with the programme collecting community outside Bolton than with fellow match going Bolton fans. |
