Football was Syd Farrimond’s first love

Farrimond stepped into the game after being seen playing for the Moss Lane Youth Club in 1956, and two years later won England youth honours while playing alongside Warwick Rimmer in the same side.

Between October 1958 and November 1970, the Hindley-born defensive player made 404 appearances for Bolton, succeeding the famous Tommy Banks. Farrimond had experiences with Shrewsbury Town, Tranmere Rovers, and Halifax Town after leaving Burnden Park before stepping into full-time coaching with Sunderland and Leeds United.

Farrimond enjoyed a twelve seasons as a first-team player at Burnden Park, with his turn of pace and defensive nous always making it a difficult afternoon for visiting wingers after making his senior debut against Preston North End in October 1958.

Farrimond, a left-back who joined the Wanderers as a replacement for renowned FA Cup-winning full-back Tommy Banks, became a pillar of the side during the 1960s.

After Banks left Wanderers in 1961, Farrimond succeeded on the other flank to defensive great Roy Hartle, a homegrown player who came through the Whites’ junior ranks – as well as winning England youth honours.

Following Wanderers’ relegation in 1964, he was a member of the team that finished third in Division Two the following season, just missing out on promotion back to the Premier League under long-serving manager Bill Ridding.

In January 1966, Wanderers players Syd Farrimond, Roy Hartle, Freddie Hill, and Eddie Hopkinson (from left) wait for the FA Cup fourth-round draw.

Farrimond worked as a member of the corporate hospitality staff at the Reebok after retiring from football.

His 13-year Bolton career began with a match against Preston North End in the old First Division, although he did not become a regular until the 1961/62 season, when Banks retired.

He only scored once, against Norwich City in March 1967, but he was a prominent figure in the side throughout the 1960s, until a dispute over a loyalty incentive led to his release.

Lan Seddon about Syd Farrimond

Lan Seddon, a former teammate and work colleague, said Farrimond would be missed by many.

“Syd was ten years my senior, so I first met him near the conclusion of his career,” he explained. “He was a true gentleman, a charming fellow with some fantastic one-liners.”

But, after playing a few games with him, I can assure you that he was a fiery guy who was never far from a booking. I believe he consumed the same meal as Tommy (Banks).

“Even if a handful of his shots swerved into the stands, he had a great left foot. I believe he only scored once after stumbling into the penalty box”.

“People may not realise it, but he would also play goal if Hoppy (Eddie Hopkinson) was injured or anything similar happened. I recall him telling me about a day at Arsenal when he hurried to put on the goalkeeper’s jersey and then turned to look at the goals and wondered aloud, “Are they always so big?
