When key Rovers player Harry Fecitt was unavailable to play in the home match against Bolton Wanderer's on 08-Dec-1888, Rovers decided to draft in Bohemians (Blackburn) player James Stothert at Inside-Left. According to Cricket and Football Field James Stothert was not on the pitch when the match started. In fact, Rovers led Wanderer's 2-0 when he came onto the pitch. Stothert appeared to have a negative impact on the Rovers team as within minutes of coming on Wanderer's made it 1–2. At half-time it was 2-2. Stothert' negative impact continued into the 2nd half. He missed an open goal much to the displeasure of the Rovers crowd. Then Wanderer's made it 4–2. Stothert redeemed himself by scoring to bring Rovers' back to 3–4. Rover's snatched a point with a 4th goal right at the end of the match.[3]
