The Buff's 250th episode: A countdown of Big Sam's 25 best moments at BWFC

WE’RE celebrating our 250th episode by paying homage to one of the greatest Bolton Wanderers managers, Sam Allardyce, who just happened to have first taken charge of the club 25 years ago.

Put on your nostalgia hat and get aboard the good ship Big Sam as we go back to the days of play-off finals at the Millennium Stadium, of Le God T-shirts, ‘Little Old Bolton’, Ivan Campo wigs, James Brown and the Reebok Roar.

Allardyce took Wanderers on an unimaginable journey up to the Premier League and to four top eight finishes, including the first-ever European campaign, and signed a squad of modern day legends.

In a special episode, Marc and Henry bring out the greatest hits with a Top 25 moments of Big Sam’s seven-and-a-half year reign.

We’ll also be running another episode of The Buff with all the build-up to this week’s games against Burton Albion and Birmingham City, so crank up the volume, we’ve got some reminiscing to do.
