WANDERERS head to Mansfield Town for the first time in 23 years this weekend.
Bruce Rioch’s side were chasing promotion from Division Two the last time Bolton played at Field Mill in April 1993.
Mansfield led at the break but it was Mark Seagraves who earned a priceless point – preserving an unbeaten record which stood at 10 games to that point.
Elsewhere in the country that day, all eyes were on the Grand National, which descended into chaos after a false start – rendering the race null and void.
More than £75million in bets had to be refunded by the bookmakers, meaning the Jenny Pitman-trained 50-1 shot Esha Ness never made it into the record books as an official winner.
The Bluebells were number one with Young at Heart, while Mel Gibson’s Forever Young was number one at the UK box office.
The Wanderers team that day: Branagan, Brown, Burke, Lee, Seagraves, Stubbs, Kelly, McAteer, Walker, McGinlay, Darby (Green). Sub not used: Parkinson.
