Bolton Wanderers: Remembering the Time the Trotters Knocked Atletico Madrid Out of Europe

Last updated: 26/8/2019

Things look desperate for Bolton Wanderers, who face imminent liquidation this week after a deal to buy the club collapsed.

The Trotters who were a Premier League club as recently as 2012 have been given until 17:00 BST on Tuesday for a takeover to be completed or their Football League membership will be revoked and the club shut down as a company.

It's a desperately sad situation for a club that delighted fans for so long in the top tiers of English football and as recently as 11 years ago were mixing it with Europe's very best.
