Bolton, Joe I worked at Sheffield United ground in 1984. We were installing anti crush barriers in the stands. Got to know Joe Bolton and Keith Edwards. I was always having to run across the car park to fetch Keith out of the bookies cos he was always late back for training, lol. Had a few nights out with them at Sheffield greyhound stadium. My dad even sold them both a greyhound. One foggy morning, I had 3 bets of £20 that I could run a lap of the cinder ran around the pitch. I had to be under 70 seconds. I was wearing work boots and a donkey jacket but managed to win with time of 67 seconds. It nearly killed me! Ha ha. Keith used to do it in 64 seconds, so not too shabby. Good times.

Bolton, Joe I once got a reference from Joe Bolton for my flat in Roker. Gave it to my landlord thinking he would be impressed but he said he had never heard of him. Was very middle class and lived outside of Sunderland. When Joe gave me the reference, he said to me "I hope I am invited to the flat warming party". I just smiled said thank you and walked away. To this day over 40 years later I still want to kick myself for not taking up his offer... and maybe inviting all his team mates!
