John Barnes: Harry Goslin

Harry Goslin

BBC Radio Lancashire - John Barnes, Harry Goslin

How the story of Bolton Wanderers' Harry Goslin is to be made into a film.

The story of Bolton Wanderers' Harry Goslin is to be made into a film, and John Barnes meets producer David Evans and Harry's son Bill.

During WWII, Bolton Wanderers had an inspirational leader on and off the pitch. In 1939 Harry Goslin made a rousing speech before 23,000 fans at Burnden Park before taking his entire team to sign up with the TA. For the next six years the team faced some of the heaviest fighting of the war. 

Now, the story is going to be made into a film, and on the late show tonight John Barnes talks to producer David Evans and Harry's son Bill.
