Bolton 1-1 QPR - Man of the Match - Bin Bag Man

Bolton Wanderers failed to follow up last week’s stirring win over Sheffield Wednesday, instead throwing away Darren Pratley’s early lead late on, to draw 1-1 with QPR.

The match was forgettable, and conditions played a huge part in what was ultimately a match that will not live long in the memory. Torrential rain from the first minute to the last made it a thoroughly miserable afternoon for those in attendance.

Despite that, I have to pick a Man of the Match.

In terms of the squad, I can’t think of anyone who particularly stood out, but there was one individual whose performance was head and shoulders above the rest.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bin Bag Man:

Bin Bag Man is not your ordinary fan.

He caused a stir pre-match with his unusual outfit of a bin bag round his legs, another round his knees, another round his waist and another over his head. Incredible ingenuity which made Bin Bag Man the must-watch individual in the stadium.

He showed great movement just before the half time whistle, effortlessly climbing over two rows of seats to sit a bit further back, which also showed the vision that he has.

He disappeared in the second half, presumably off to solve some crime or other - but his legacy was a sense of longing and sadness, with the entertainment that he provided being head and shoulders above what was happening on the pitch.

Bin Bag Man, wherever you are - whoever you are - thank you. Truly the hero that we deserve.
