Perhaps I am a bit harsh, my comments are affected by the way he was so much bigger than Bolton after he got his England cap and was determined to move on to a bigger club. This might start another debate about whether he actually did that but that is largely immaterial. What I don't think can be denied is that after the initial early promise he showed at Walsall, it was further cultivated by Mr.Allardyce and since leaving Bolton his career has never been the same since.
