I’d like to start by thanking the supporters who made the marathon journeys to support the team at Cardiff and Charlton; your support is appreciated by everyone. There were some great scenes at the end of 90 minutes at the Valley on Tuesday as the squad and Town fans celebrated together; ones I hope to see repeated again and again this season. There’s no doubt about it; the midweek win was a long time coming for us. We’ve played pretty well in a number of games this season and have been pretty close to getting the win before, but as anyone will tell you the margins are fine in the Championship. It has been a tough start to the season due to a number of factors, but our new players are starting to gel with their teammates – thanks in no small part to the time we enjoyed away with each other down south between our last two games – and the win on Tuesday will do wonders for our confidence coming into this afternoon’s match. Our new loanees – Jed Steer, Elliott Ward, Mustapha Carayol, Emyr Huws and Jamie Paterson – have all added quality to our First Team and have brought real options and competition for places. All five have already made an impact out on the pitch for us and I’m excited that many of our fans will get to see them in action for the first time this afternoon. I’ve always kept my belief that this group of players can do it and I’ve shown them I think that again and again, so it was great to see everything come together at Charlton. Now that we have finally secured that win, our standards have been set. Today we take on Bolton Wanderers and I would like to welcome Manager Neil Lennon and his staff to our Stadium for the game. The Trotters will have their own aims and goals this afternoon, but we are completely focused on following up our first victory with another win; our first on home soil. The Stadium was absolutely rocking during our last home game against QPR last time out here, which feels like a long time ago now. Please try and reach those levels again today! www.htafc.com 5 Iveco DaIly Panel van 3.5T - 7T I n TeRnaTI on a l va n o F T H e y e aR 2 0 1 5 • 3 Years’ Free serVicing* • 3 Years’ unliMiteD Mileage warrantY • 3 Years’ Free BreakDown assistance • high strength laDDer FraMe • iMproVeD hanDling • iMproVeD carrYing capacitY • new 183 anD 203 MoDels • shorteneD oVerhang, with iMproVeD DriVeaBilitY • up to 5% Fuel saVing coMpareD with the preVious MoDel • iMproVeD coMFort anD noise insulation, car-like coMFort • now eVen Bigger, internal length up to 5.1M NEW DAILY with FREE air conDitioning AVAILABLE ON 3.5T PANEL VANS FACTORY ORDERED BEFORE 30TH SEPTEMBER 2015 THE NEW IVECO DAILY BODIED RANGE 3 Years’ Free serVicing* 3 Years’ unliMiteD Mileage warrantY 3 Years’ Free BreakDown assistance DailY tipper DailY DropsiDer DailY luton www.nor-com.co.uk Armytage Road, Brighouse, HD6 1PG T: 01484 380 111 Brighouse - Brighton - DunstaBle - Manchester - northaMpton - tonBriDge *Offer based on New Daily Models ordered before 30/09/2015 and registered within 180 days of ordering. 3 Years Servicing based on 25,000m per annum.

The journey home feels a lot quicker after our first win of the season at Charlton, although this carriage is so bumpy we must have a flat tyre. The victory has lifted the spirits so much that I think I’ve even seen a ‘Hoyle In’ thread on ‘Down at the Mac’! In all seriousness, it has been a tough few weeks for everybody at the football club. After the sales of Conor Coady and Alex Smithies, we wanted to keep Jacob Butterfield at the Club. We turned down four bids from Derby County, but in the end we were offered a deal we couldn’t turn down; one that represents the second highest sum this Club has ever received for a player, after the Jordan Rhodes transfer to Blackburn. Derby were desperate to secure Jacob on the final day and they had to pay top dollar to get the deal done. Subsequently, we’ve allowed Chris Powell to bring in loan players of his choice to improve the starting line-up and the squad. I’ve already said money from the Alex Smithies transfer would be reinvested in the squad and that money is still available, but we didn’t feel the players we could have brought in during the window would have added the right value to the team. We all know that you have to spend wisely for the long term. Even though it goes without saying, I want to reaffirm that my commitment to the Club is unwavering, contrary to lots of unsubstantiated rumours I have seen. Tuesday night’s result at Charlton was great. I’m sure that not many people expected us to get a result at the Valley, but as a team we were organised throughout after a terrific start, when we showed lots of attacking intent on the front foot. We defended admirably when needed too, led by our new loan signing Elliott Ward. I was particularly pleased to see Academy prospect Philip Billing play his part in the win too. Today we must look to carry on the momentum of midweek against Bolton Wanderers as we target a first home win of the campaign. To do that, we must be on the front foot once again; that’s when we are at our best. A final few words for our fans. Firstly, I would like to thank our supporters who made the long journeys to Cardiff and Charlton over the last week. Four to five hours there and back to those two venues are arduous trips, as I know! As for our home fans, I believe the supporters in the South Stand made a huge difference to the atmosphere last time out here against QPR; it was magnificent to see and hear. Let’s have more of the same today please! Onwards and upwards! www.htafc.com 7 FIR ST TE AM I NTE RVI E W jed steer It’s so far, so good at Huddersfield Town for loanee Jed Steer. The 22 year-old goalkeeper joined ‘The Yorkshire Club’ on loan from Premier League Aston Villa just over a week ago due to an injury to first choice stopper Joe Murphy and has impressed on the pitch in his first two appearances, looking an assured figure between the sticks. “So far it’s been great! We have a great bunch of lads here - everyone gets on well – and I think we’ve put two good performances in at Cardiff and Charlton,” Jed told GUAH on Wednesday. “At Cardiff I thought we played really well for 65 minutes and it was a brilliant performance again on Tuesday night; we showed real togetherness and dug deep to grind out a result in the second half.” 8 www.htafc.com Chris Powell’s squad stayed down south between Saturday and Tuesday’s matches and Jed admitted that had the added bonus of helping him settle into his new surroundings. He continued: “We were together 24/7, sharing rooms, eating together and training. We went for a meal as a team on the Sunday night and it was really good for me to sit down and get to know people. “I can tell we have a very close group; everyone gets on really well, like a team should. When I arrived, I didn’t realise some of the other boys were on loan given how close everyone was! When I found out, I was honestly shocked.” Jed explained that, on the evidence he has seen in games and training, he was equally shocked that it took the team seven games to record a first victory. “It’s a very talented group here and by the sounds of things, things just didn’t go our way in the first few games. The performances have been there or there about, like in the last two games. “We can build on the Charlton win now and take confidence into Saturday. The fans were fantastic; they didn’t stop singing behind my goal in the first half and that drove us forward, helping us get the result we got.” Most of Steer’s first team experience has come through previous loan spells at Yeovil Town and Doncaster Rovers, with his current spell with the Terriers a first at Championship level. “It’s a lot quicker than League 1 – that’s the biggest difference – and there is more quality in front of goal and around the box. Teams in this division are looking to play football. Even though Charlton had a big guy up front, they still tried to play the ball in and around the box with a lot of short, sharp passing. It’s a very competitive league.” He endured a baptism of fire at the Cardiff City Stadium last weekend; his first task in Town colours was to keep Kenwyne Jones’ effort out FIR ST TE AM INTE RVI E W “The fans were fantastic; they didn’t stop singing behind my goal in the first half and that drove us forward, helping us get the result we got” www.htafc.com 9 We are Town’s Legal People 01484 519 999 www.chadwicklawrence.co.uk 10 Huddersfield www.htafc.com | Wakefield | Halifax | Leeds CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY WITH QUICKCHECK QuickCheck shows whether you could be accepted for one of our cards before you apply. ✔ Find out which card you could be accepted for ✔ Won’t impact your credit score ✔ Just 3 easy steps Try QuickCheck now at CAPITALONE.CO.UK/QUICKCHECK ® A registered mark of Capital One (Europe) plc.

FIR ST TE AM INTE RVI E W after the striker broke clear inside the third minute! “If anything, I was actually quite pleased!” Jed laughed. “It got me an early touch on the ball with the save, which is always nice. It gave me a bit more confidence and got me into the game nice and early.” Jed has recently formed part of a new look defensive unit, with Joel Lynch the only survivor from last season across the back line. The goalkeeper added: “We always talk about the back five with the Manager, because we’re a unit. Our job is to keep the ball out of the back of our net first and foremost. Unfortunately I’ve not managed to keep a clean sheet yet, but I think overall we have been solid. Long may that continue.” After two long away trips, Jed is now looking forward to a first home appearance in the Club’s colours against Bolton today: “I’ve never been to the John Smith’s Stadium, so I’m really looking forward to playing there. I’ve seen pictures and it looks fantastic. “Playing at home in front of our fans will be great and hopefully we can get the result we want. Tuesday night was brilliant, but now we need to build on that and kick on to really get the season firing. Saturday is a great opportunity to do that. “It will be a tough game, but we’re going into the game full of confidence.” He’s hoping that the experience of playing for Town will stand him in good stead when he returns to his top flight parent side, who he joined from his hometown club Norwich City in 2013. “I want to keep my performance levels up so I can keep playing games here. It’s great to be out on the pitch getting the experience and hopefully it will help me get closer to the First Team at Aston Villa when I do return there. I want to keep improving at this stage of my career. “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Villa. The move from Norwich took me from one Premier League club to another, but I’d worked with Paul Lambert – he gave me my Norwich debut and believed in me – and when he made the move and the opportunity came up to follow, I took it. “It’s been really good. I’ve worked with Brad Guzan and Shay Given and I’ve really enjoyed my work with the goalkeeping coach, Tony Parkes. I feel like my game has improved over the last couple of years, which is great. “For now though, I’m really enjoying working with Nick (Colgan, Town’s Head of Goalkeeping) and I’m a Huddersfield Town player. I was absolutely over the moon with the win on Tuesday night and all I’m thinking about at the moment is keeping the ball out of Huddersfield Town’s net.” www.htafc.com 13 Our match highlights have a new home for season 2015/16...

The Trotters, managed by Charles Foweraker, had also opened the campaign with a defeat losing 3-2 to reigning champions Everton at Burnden Park. Pouring rain kept the attendance down to a modest 15,710 spectators who saw the notoriously heavy Leeds Road pitch soon begin to churn up. Huddersfield, who had finished the previous season as Football League runnersup, were looking to mount a new title challenge, whilst Bolton were hoping to improve on a final placing of seventh and maintain their place as one of the country’s top clubs. Dai Evans, a summer signing from Reading, was making his Town debut, and the game was refereed by Mr H Kilsby of West Bromwich. TOWN: Hughie Turner; Roy Goodall, Sam Wadsworth; David Steele, Tommy Wilson, Dai Evans; Alex Jackson, Bob Kelly, George Brown, Harry Raw, Billy Smith BOLTON: Dick Pym; Harold Howarth, Billy Jennings; 18 www.htafc.com John Cope, Jack Round, Billy Wright; Billy Butler, David Jack, Jim McClelland, George Gibson, Lionel Murphy It soon became apparent that the wet conditions would make the ball hard to control, but Town took the lead in the seventh minute with a trademark Roy Goodall penalty after Harold Howarth was adjudged to have handled. Bolton though quickly hit back to equalise with a fine solo effort from ‘Spud’ Murphy who jinked his way through the home defence before scoring. This only seemed to rouse Bob Kelly cheekily headed the ball out of Dick Pym’s hands to give Town a 3-1 lead! HI STO RY Bob Kelly narrowly missing the target. Numerous other chances went begging before Smith rounded off the scoring in the 75th minute with a thumping long range drive. With Goodall, Sam Wadsworth and Welsh international Evans taking care of any Bolton forays, the game ended in a comfortable if muddy Huddersfield victory. Huddersfield penalty expert Roy Goodall gave his team an early lead against Bolton. Bolton goalkeeper Dick ‘Pincher’ Pym was at fault for two of Town’s goals. He had joined Bolton from Exeter City for £5000 in 1921 with the money helping the Devon club to purchase its home ground. Dick played 336 games for Wanderers, and was to win the FA Cup with them three times over the next decade, as well as gaining three England caps. Huddersfield who immediately went on the attack, netting twice more to give themselves a comfortable half time lead. Firstly Harry Raw seized on an error by Dick Pym to roll the ball home, then Bob Kelly further embarrassed the England ‘keeper with a goal that might well be disallowed in the modern era. As Pym was about to clear the ball upfield, the quick-thinking insideright dashed in to head it out of his hands and into the net! After the break Bolton improved somewhat in the deteriorating conditions, but Town continued to press forward with Billy Smith and Harr y Raw seized on a goalkeeping error for Town’s second goal. ww.htafc.com 19 k i d s c lu b is the match day Quiz for Junior Terriers Using football to make learning fun!

Obviously some teams don’t use that position and have accommodated me by letting me float in from the left, so I feel like I can play across those positions. I’m definitely not an out-and-out winger though; today’s position is my best, even though it’s the first time I’ve played there in a while. “I feel like if I get fit, a bit sharper and a bit more confident, I can score goals; I just need a few games under my belt.” The 23 year-old has fitted straight into the Town squad since arriving from Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan during the recent international break, which he credits his new teammates for. “The lads have been great with me since I arrived and I like the atmosphere around the Club; it’s really relaxed, which comes from the staff. That has helped me get out on the pitch. Now, I hope to show the fans what I can do. “I’m enjoying it so far. We stayed down south last weekend between the Cardiff and Charlton games and that gave me the chance to get to know a few of the lads a bit more. “I had a good season when I first went to Nottingham, but obviously last season wasn’t great for me; for whatever reason, it didn’t work out for me at Forest. At Cardiff it was really good for me to get a game under my belt, because I haven’t played many in the past 12 months.” Jamie has also been delighted to play as a number 10 in Town’s 4-23-1 formation; his preferred position, as he explained: “As a youngster, I played as a number 10 and I feel that is my best position. www.htafc.com 25 A C AD E MY UNDER-21 SEASON STATS league tables (correct as of Friday 11 September) U21 Professional Development League 2 North P o sT e a m 1 H u l l C i t y 2 Coventr y City 3 Sheffield United 4 HUDDERS F IELD T O W N 5 N o t t i n g h a m Fo r e s t 6 B o l t o n Wa n d e r e r s 7 Leeds United 8 Crewe Alexandra 9 S h e f f i e l d We d n e s d a y 10 Birmingham City 11 Barnsley P 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 5 3 4 3 W 3 3 2 2 2 1 2 1 0 0 0 D LG D P t s 1 1 6 10 1 1 1 10 1 2 3 7 1 2 1 7 1 2 1 7 3 0 1 6 0 2 -1 6 0 4 -7 3 2 1 -3 2 1 3 -4 1 0 3-8 0 U18 Professional Development League 2 North P o sT e a m 1 Crewe Alexandra 2 Leeds United 3 Sheffield United 4 Birmingham City 5 S h e f f i e l d We d n e s d a y 6 N o t t i n g h a m Fo r e s t B o l t o n Wa n d e r e r s 7 8 Coventr y City 9 HUDDERS F IELD T O W N 1 0 H u l l C i t y 11 Barnsley P 6 5 6 5 6 6 5 5 6 6 7 11 Phillip billing Sponsored by W D LG D P t s 5 0 1 3 15 4 0 1 4 12 4 0 2 2 12 3 2 0 8 11 3 1 2 6 10 3 1 2 1 10 2 0 3 1 6 2 0 3 -1 6 2 0 4 -6 6 2 0 4 -7 6 0 2 5 -9 2 UNDER 21S PLAYER SPONSOR CCG-UP THE TOWN PlayerPositionAppsSubGls * Lloyd Allinson Goalkeeper 1 Philip BillingMidfielder 4 1 Flo Bojaj Striker 4 4 Regan BootyMidfielder 4 1 Jack BoyleMidfielder 3 William BoyleDefender 3 1 Jake Charles Striker 4 1 Liam Coogans Striker 2 Ronan Coughlan Striker 4 1 Jacob HansonDefender 5 1 Ben HolmesMidfielder 1 Duane HolmesMidfielder 5 3 Fraser HorsfallDefender 2 Rekeil Pyke Striker 3 1 Jack SeniorDefender 5 Jamie SpencerMidfielder 1 Sondre TronstadMidfielder 2 2 1 Ed Wilczynski Goalkeeper 4 Joe WilkinsonDefender 5 * indicates overage player, UNDER-18 SEASON STATS PlayerPositionAppsSubGls Regan BootyMidfielder 3 Jack BoyleMidfielder 7 5 Harry ClibbensDefender 7 Dylan CogillDefender 2 Luca ColvilleMidfielder 1 4 George Danaher Striker 2 Callum ElliottDefender 6 Akeel Francis Striker 4 1 1 Sam GibsonDefender 3 Jacob Hanson Defender 1 Lewis O’BrienMidfielder 3 Adam PorrittMidfielder 6 Rekeil Pyke Striker 4 3 Alfie RawMidfielder 2 * Tadhg Ryan Goalkeeper 7 Cedwyn Scott Striker 6 1 2 Jamie SpencerMidfielder 7 1 Dominic TearMidfielder 1 Sam WardeMidfielder 5 1 Jordan WilliamsDefender 5 * i n d i c a t e s o v e r a g e p l a y e r, Next Five Fixtures DateGame KOVenue Saturday 19 SeptemberTown U18s vs Ipswich Town Thursday 24 September Watford vs Town U21s Saturday 26 September Cardiff City vs Town U18s Monday 28 SeptemberTown U21s vs Ipswich Town Monday 5 October Crewe Alexandra vs Town U21s 11am PPG Canalside 7pm St Albans City FC 11amTBC 1pm PPG Canalside 1pm Alexandra Park BET £5 GET £20 FREE THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO JOIN ARE YOU IN? skybet.com 18+.

Proud Sponsor of the p l ay e r I N T E RVI E W harry bunn Harry Bunn played as big a part as anyone in Town securing a first win of the season at Charlton on Tuesday night. “It was nice to get the three points, but now we have to kick on and follow it up against Bolton” The 22 year-old netted his first goal of the season to set the Terriers on their way to a 2-1 win at the Valley and after the game, Harry admitted that the victory was more than welcome. “We’d been waiting quite a while for that first win, especially when you include the international break after the Fulham game. It should have come at Craven Cottage, but obviously it just got away from us at the end of that game. “We all knew that the win would come as we’ve been working hard in training. It always felt like it would come. “It’s always nice to win away from home, but it was even better for the Manager that it came at Charlton and I think the lads had that in the back of our minds. We wanted to win the game for him and Alex Dyer.” On his goal, Bunn added: “It was quite a similar feeling to the win in that it was nice to get off the mark. Hopefully there are a lot more to come!” Chris Powell has shown a lot of faith in the attacker, keeping him in the starting XI for the last two games despite the recent arrivals of players like Mustapha Carayol and Jamie Paterson. Harry continued: “It’s obviously nice to keep my place, as they are two players with good quality. That competition is just what you need in the Championship, because as everyone knows it is a long season with a lot of games. I’m sure there will be times when some players miss out and then they are back in when the next game comes.” Now the former Manchester City Academy player is adamant the side must kick on from Tuesday night’s success against Bolton today: “It was nice to get the three points, but now we have to kick on and follow it up against Bolton. That win should kickstart our season now. “The win at Charlton probably won’t mean much to us if we don’t back it up against Bolton. I think both sides will look at Saturday’s game as a winnable one, as they haven’t had a great start either. We go into the game looking for all three points. “A couple of wins on the bounce will see us shoot up the table, which pretty much sums this league up. It is in our hands to get the win.” www.htafc.com 29 B O LT O N WA N D E R E R S BOLTON WANDERERS Today’s opponents Bolton Wanderers received a timely boost just last weekend, with Neil Lennon’s side recording a first win in five months courtesy of a 2-1 home scoreline against visitors Wolves. “It was a relief,” Manager Neil Lennon said of the win when speaking to the Bolton News post-match. “We now have six points from six games, whereas when I came in last season we had five points from 11. That’s progress. We are far, far from the finished article. But there is a real spirit there. “It’s a relief. You start doubting yourself, wondering if you can manage at this level, but the 30 www.htafc.com way we played first half and counter attacked in the second half, it was very pleasing.” Before that win the five month, 11 game winless streak stretched back to Easter Monday 2015, but Bolton could arrive here today on the back of another victory dependent on Tuesday night’s result against Sheffield Wednesday at the Macron Stadium. Ahead of that game, Lennon added Steve Walford - a coach during the Manager’s time at Celtic - to his Bolton staff as Assistant Manager on Monday after previous incumbent Johan Mjallby returned to Sweden for family reasons. Bolton undertook a big turnover of players during the summer transfer window. Incomings included goalkeeper Ben Amos from Manchester United; striker Gary Madine following his release from Sheffield Wednesday; Stephen Dobbie came in from Crystal Palace; Lawrie Wilson arrived from Charlton Athletic. From further afield, Derik Odense joined from Real Madrid; Francesco Pisano from Cagliari, Jose Casado from Malaga and centre back Prince came in on loan from Italian side Atalanta. On the flip side, Jermaine Beckford was allowed to join Preston North End; goalkeeper Adam Bogdan joined Liverpool; high earning centre back Matt Mills moved to Nottingham Forest; Alex Baptiste joined Middlesbrough; Tim Ream left to join Fulham; striker Craig Davies is now at Wigan Athletic and Marc Tierney and Eidur Gudjohnsen were released. Goals had been a little hard to come by for Lennon’s men ahead of last weekend’s win. A goalless home draw against Derby County kicked off the season, soon followed by a 1-0 Capital One Cup defeat at the hands of Burton Albion. 3-0 and 1-0 losses at Boro and MK Dons followed before a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest and goalless stalemate with Blackburn Rovers. B O LT O N WA N D E R E R S neil lennon Neil Lennon is one of several managers in the Sky Bet Championship currently embarking upon his first full season in the division, having taken charge of Bolton Wanderers in October 2014. The Northern Irishman signed a four year contract at the Macron Stadium after taking over the reins from Dougie Freedman. He arrived five months after leaving his first managerial job at Scottish giants Celtic, where he had spent four seasons and guided the Hoops to three successive Premier League titles, as well as two Scottish Cups and a couple of impressive Champions League runs. As a player, the 44 yearold was similarly decorated. Born in Lurgan, he came to England to join Manchester City’s Academy after a handful of appearances for Glenavon. He went on to make one First Team appearance for the Club, but it was at Crewe Alexandra where he made his name. After joining the Railwaymen in 1990, he soon established himself in midfield and made 187 appearances for the Club – becoming their first full international in over 60 years upon his Northern Ireland debut in 1994. Lennon earned a move to Leicester City in 1996 and helped the team win promotion to the Premier League in his first season at the Club. Neil also won two League Cups with the Foxes. In 2000 he joined Celtic as a player under Martin O’Neill in a move reported to be worth £5.75 million. Lennon enjoyed more first season success at a new club, helping the side to a domestic treble. In the next four seasons, he won another two leagues and Scottish Cups and reached the UEFA Cup Final in 2003. He went on to captain the side from 2005. After a number of other domestic accolades, Lennon moved back to England to join Nottingham Forest in 2007 before enjoying a short spell at Wycombe Wanderers from January 2008. Neil’s coaching career began at Celtic in 2008, where he took up the roles of First Team Coach and Reserve Team Manager before taking over as First Team Manager from Tony Mowbray – initially as caretaker but then permanently – in March 2010. www.htafc.com 31 PLAY YOUR PART @FOOTBALL_LEAGUE Have your say and keep up with all the action and official news from Football League HQ!

Lennon told the Bolton News: “Mark Davies has been outstanding. Right at this minute I think he’s one of the best players in this division. He was a real driving force against Blackburn Rovers. He’s only a little fella but he was so strong and even though the ball was up in the air all the time, he was in there for us.” The 27 year-old has always had an abundance of talent, only for a series of unfortunate injuries to curtail his progress during his career. He joined the Wolves Academy as a nine year-old and broke into the team under Glenn Hoddle in 2005, but missed the first half of 2006/07 and the entirety of 2007/08 through injury. Due to a lack of regular First Team football, he joined then Premier League side Bolton in late January 2009, ending his decade at Molineux. Since then he has made 117 starts and 52 substitute appearances across the top two divisions, scoring 16 goals. That includes another cumulative 16 month spell on the sidelines. NEIL DANNS Another midfielder, Danns is a familiar name to Town fans courtesy of his half-season loan spell as a Terrier in early 2013. A powerful player with plenty of experience, Neil scored his first goal for Town in the 2-1 West Yorkshire derby win at Leeds United on 16 March 2013. The 32 year-old had two subsequent loan spells at Bolton in the 2013/14 season and went on to join the Trotters permanently from Leicester City ahead of the following season. Prior to that move, the Liverpool-born Guyana international started his career at Blackburn Rovers but played his first regular First Team football at Colchester United, who he joined in 2004 after a loan spell. His form earned him a move to Birmingham City in 2006, but it was at Crystal Palace that Neil really made his name two years later; he signed for the Eagles for an initial £600,000, where he played in the Premier League. Neil joined Leicester City in 2011, but had four separate loan spells during his time at the King Power Stadium. www.htafc.com 33 B O LT O N WA N D E R E R S BEN AMOS Now 25 years old, Ben Amos joined Bolton Wanderers on a four year contract in July 2015 after his release from Manchester United. The 6’ 3” tall custodian was born in Macclesfield and started his career as a player in Crewe Alexandra’s youth Academy, but moved to Old Trafford at just 11 years old after being released by the Railwaymen. Amos made his way through the ranks for the Red Devils, being capped by England at every age group between under 16 and under 21 inclusive along the way. His first experience with the senior squad came during a pre-season tour of South Africa in 2008, where he made his unofficial First Team bow as a late replacement for Tomasz Kuszczak in a friendly against Portsmouth in Nigeria. His competitive debut soon followed in September in a 3-1 home win over Middlesbrough in the League Cup. Two loan spells followed in the 2009/10 campaign, with a one game stint at Peterborough United closely followed by a longer spell at Norwegian side Molde FK. Further loan spells followed at Oldham Athletic, Hull City, Carlisle United and Bolton ahead of his permanent move this summer.
