Emil Anderson: Bolton Wanderers and Frank Worthington in the 1970s, a lifetime of Atherton Collieries, and the disjointed joy of Alder Street

This week on Lost Boyos, Matt is joined once again by returning co-host Gibbo — the perfect sidekick for this week’s guest, Atherton Collieries stalwart Emil Anderson, the man who first brought Gibbo into the world of working at Colls. We chat about Emil’s childhood trips to Burnden Park, falling in love with the brilliance of Frank Worthington, and how his dad first took him through the gates at Atherton Collieries — a club that has shaped his entire life and where he now serves as long-standing club secretary. There’s also plenty of love for Alder Street and its wonderfully disjointed charm, discussion of Emil’s favourite away days in northern non-league, and stories from football trips further afield — including matches in Cancún and Sered in Slovakia.
