WHAT a year 2023 proved to be at Bolton Wanderers! We had a Wembley win, play-off heart-break, controversial player sales, surprise transfer successes, mistaken identities, hilarious sponsor names and a LOT of goals. And The Buff has been there to chart every single moment. We have broken our year in review down into two pieces - this one deals with January to May, taking in all of last season's highs and lows, from the Papa Johns Trophy final to the sad end at Oakwell, and every in between.

Play down Pompey! Or at least we think that's how it goes. Win, lose or draw, the result of Monday's televised game won't define Wanderers' season but it could certainly help shape it for the better or worse. So to get yourself in the mood for 90 minutes of chimes and reminders from Sky Sports that both these clubs used to play in the Premier League, Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt bring you right up to date with all the week's headlines from The Bolton News. We look at two cup wins against Harrogate and

Happy birthday to The Buff, we're exactly 200 episodes old! To celebrate the occasion we're bringing you an extended edition with a special interview with one of Wanderers' most prolific strikers of the nineties, Mr Tony Philliskirk. One half of the famous 'Bros' strike partnership with David Reeves, he topped the scoring charts for three straight seasons at Burnden Park and was arguably the best penalty taker to ever pull on a Bolton shirt. Wrapped around our interview, Marc and Henry look back at

IT might be the international break this weekend... But we're going to mix the pot by asking a big question. Wanderers racked up their seventh win in succession at Stockport - and the last team to manage that got promotion from League One, back in 2016/17. But which squad - Ian Evatt's entertainers or Phil Parkinson's clean sheet specialists - was the better one? Marc and Henry break each squad down into departments to start the debate. And we want to hear your thoughts on thebuffmail@gmail,com Of

WELCOME back to The Buff. Enter, if you dare! With Halloween just around the corner, we have decided to dress this week’s podcast up with as many ghoulish references as we could muster. And as if they knew, Wanderers have also managed to scare us witless with two nerve-jangling wins against Northampton Town and Wycombe.

Unfortunately, the only person who picked up his phone was Derek Clark. Thankfully, and despite Derek’s wi-fi refusing to accept this was 2023, episode 192 was compiled in time to make sure you go into the last matchday before the
