Time to plop the old Devil’s Advocate hat on me head here again methinks. Was Scott Green THAT good a player or was he just a fist pumping, constantly charging forward and getting out of position frustrated full back? And of course, there’s the ex-Bolton factor to consider. Urrgh THAT Bolton side: John McGinlay, John […]
The next two players in our run down share a large part of their career in common in that a large part of it was played for Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers. The other player did it the other way around, no further spoilers.
