About Bolton

Bolton Wanderers started life in 1874 as Christ Church FC, set up by the Reverend Joseph Farrall Wright and schoolmaster Thomas Ogden. Renamed in 1877, the club took 'Wanderers' from its early years without a settled ground. Bolton were among the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888 and spent 102 years at Burnden Park before moving to their current stadium in 1997.

Bolton have won the FA Cup four times, in 1923, 1926, 1929 and 1958; the first came in the 'White Horse Final', the first FA Cup final played at Wembley. Nat Lofthouse, the club's record goalscorer, scored both goals in 1958. Sam Allardyce led Bolton back to the Premier League in 2001, starting an 11-season stay that included two UEFA Cup campaigns.
