Good morning Bolton fans. I was wondering why your nickname is the trotters. Could anyone elighten me please? Thanks in anticipation. Good luck for after today.
'Bolton Wanderers are also known as “The Trotters", due to a pitch that the club used towards the end of the nineteenth century. The pitch backed onto a piggery and clearances tended to end up in the pig pens. Players therefore had to ‘trot’ through the pens to retrieve their ball.' Apparently.
