LIFE-LONG Wanderers fans who witnessed the FA Cup glories of the 1920s are being sought by a team of documentary makers.

The BBC sports department is putting together a TV show celebrating the magic of FA Cup final day.

And they urgently need to speak to surviving supporters who travelled to Wembley for Bolton's trio of victories in 1923, 1926 and 1929.

Wanderers' FA Cup final apperance against West Ham in 1923 is one of the most famous ever, rembered as the White Horse final when a mounted policeman went onto the pitch to control a massive 126,000 crowd.

Bolton made the new Wembley virtually their second home during the 1920s with further cup final victories against Manchester City and Portsmouth before the end of the decade.

Graham Wellham of BBC sport said: "We are looking for people who experienced these magnificent occasions that sum up the magic of the FA Cup. We particularly want fans with amusing anecdotes about the atmosphere of the big day."

They are also due to interview players including Wanderers president Nat Lofthouse about epic cup matches in the 1950s.

The programme called The Essential History of the FA Cup will be broadcast on May 16, the eve of the final.

Anyone who thinks they should feature in it can call BBC sport on 0181 225 7544.
