First unveiled at Bolton Wanderers FC's former home ground which stood on this site. Bolton left Burnden Park after 102 years in 1997 and the ground was eventually demolished 2 years later. The Asda store on the site opened in 2005 with the plaque placed above the cash tills. Another plaque with the names of those who never made it home was unveiled on the 70th anniversary by the store exit Image
