I am not a violent person. I don't condone fighting in any shape or form.
Being a Bolton fan, I have certainly seen my fair share of violence on the football pitch.
With Bolton playing Wolves, I thought it quite apt that an article like this was created, almost in celebration of our rivalry.
Anyway. My nominations for best punch/fight are
Super John McGinlays punch vs Wolves or, Andy Todd for battering Stan Collymore.
Being a young chap, there are probably some that I have forgotten. If anyone can remember any other, please share them with us. Also if people could provide links, maybe pictures or videos, that would be great in helping to re-jig the memory.
Nominations for best punch/fight.

Deffo Andy Todd on Stan Collymore, clean as a whistle straight to his jaw.
Chris Fairclough landed a peach on Steve Bull in the big brawl in the 3-0 at home 96-97.
SJM is my all time hero but the 'wee push' comes in third.

Didn't a Wolves fan complain to the police about Lofty, saying that he was intimidating 3000 people unencumbered by fancy dress? Perhaps she thought he was a real lion.
Even more ridiculous than people running to the police when Alan Shearer winked at them (literally with his eye - I am not circumventing the mods with a spelling variation here!)

I know this is supposed to be a a Bolton themed thread but the best was the punch up between Franny Lee and Norman Hunter...
