Sam Allardyce talks about how he got Nicolas Anelka to sign for Bolton when he was manager there.
Allardyce says Anelka’s reputation stopped him signing elsewhere and that he could use Bolton as a stepping stone to a bigger transfer. #shorts #football #soccer #premierleague #epl #bolton #france #anelka #sports #algorithm

When you go back and listen to all those older Liverpool players talk about Anelka you realise how good he was. They all say not signing him was one of the biggest mistakes the club made
One of the most naturally talented strikers to ever play in the Prem and he punished the big clubs often
Someone really underrated at Sam's Bolton who was an absolute animal was Kevin Davies. Beast of a target man.
And Slippery Sam probably made a packet.
Destroyed every team😮
He was a superb footballer.
It's 2024 and still cannot believe he missed that open net @Anfield………….. 🤯
Le prof.Wenger laboratory prodigy/ prototypes are literally ALWAYS recycled………. The Prem won't give him his dues tho
Charles.de.gaulle. shite subs again
LE SULK as he was known.. 😂
Bloody brilliant at City. A low key legend
"In Charleston" 😂
Had zero complaints with anelka while he was at Chelsea, what a player.
Anelka was a baller. Big Sam’s Bolton was a prosper side with some of the worlds best players believe it or not.
That goal against arsenal 😮😮😮
This guy killed it at every team
Houllier screwed up big time not signing him and instead getting El hadg Douf.
Liverpool fan was a disgrace we didn't sign him permanent, he just oozed class
When football was in its peak
It's a shame Big Sam was greedy as England manager
We've gone from anelka to dion charles. 😢
Thought you said a big club
Anelka one of the best of his generation
He was a complete fool.
If you’ve ever been to Bolton you will understand how much of miracle Big Sam worked to attract players like this to the club.
Bolton was a fun team back then
Agent brother loved that 10%
Anelka is a player who doesn't get the respect he deserves nowadays, when on form he was world class
Did he go to Chelsea….Everybody has played for Chelsea 😂
Sams all about the wonga 😂
He was awesome, but had so much potential – he could've been so much more.
Arsenal Anelka is the biggest wasted talent in prem history and it isn't even close
Bolton glory days. Big Sam 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Big Sam's Bolton in the 2000s was an absolute joy to watch
fenerbahçe was the reason his career went upwards again 👍
