| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"Dave Bolton had blistering pace. So much faster than anyone else on the field.
Sam Tomkins scored a try at the Magic v Saints where he ran from mid field then split their defence and outpaced them to go over in the corner. Brilliant try. That run/move was Dave Bolton all over. Would run from mid field and split defences with his pace.
Trouble was in those days with winter rugby the game looked like it was played on a ploughed field which slowed Dave down playing at 6 in the middle.
The comparison in pace with today's players I'd say would be comparing Bevan French's pace with anyone's else. Whether Dave was the faster I don't know. Would loved to have seen him play in Aus on firm pitches with his pace.'"
How would you compare him Ted to say Millard who I saw somewhat late in his career?
Bolton or Kenny? |

David Bolton was one of the greatest players of Wigan RL who I never had the previlage to see playing as he played just before I started supporting the club.
RIP David, you will always be remember in Wigan as one of the many local born lads to wear the famous Cherry and White colours of Wigan Rugby League Club.

Out of order for supporters to talk about comparisons of players when a player has sadly passed away.
Show a bit of respect!

Jesus Christ. People are asking if he was the best 6 to ever play for us. What do you suggest they talk about? |

His outstanding career both in our country and Australia should be plenty to talk about! |

This is one thread we shouldn't let Ruddy Duck derail. I'm enjoying hearing stories of Davey, wish I'd seen him in the flesh! I wonder how good he would have been with the benefit of today's advances in nutrition, training etc!

My everlasting memory of Dave Bolton was in the 1959 Wembley final and the sight of him haring up the middle with not a Hull player in sight. Wigan were already two tries up and that try more or less sealed the win even though it was still in the first half. RIP Dave and thanks for the memories.
