Nat Lofthouse 1925-2011

[prostak]

One of the greatest English strikers passed away on Saturday night, aged 85.

I just hope he wasn't awake for that Stoke performance, to be honest...

[Silver Fox]

RIP in peace

No disrespect to that Macclesfield chap but this is a dead footballer worthy of note

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Seems to have lived a great life RIP, a name from the past that was respected for so long.

Well if you meant no disrespect, you wouldn't have posted it.


RIP Nat Lofthouse.

[Victor Meldrew]

The epitome of "good old-fashioned English centre-forward".
Strong player and very good in the air.
As Tom Finney has been Mr Preston so Nat has been Mr Bolton where he spent most of his career if not all of it.
I always thought that Nat was a great name to have and one of those names where everyone would know who you were just through a first name.
Good to see that he had a long life and a shame that he was around too early to earn the big bucks that so many mediocre players now earn.

[Ark Royal]

RIP the 'Lion of Vienna'.

30 goals in 33 appearances for England.
255 goals in 452 appearances for Bolton Wanderers.

The word legend is often over used in football, but in Nat Lofthouse's case it was rightfully deserved.

RIP

[AthleticoSpizz]

proper footballer....before my time, but as a lad...a much revered player that my elders made sure I knew about.

[Archie's penalty]

Highlights from the Bolton 2 United 0 cup final. Well worth a watch:
