Bolton Wanderers news
Bolton, also known as the Trotters and Wanderers, were one of the founding members of the football league. The proud club has battled hard to be an ever-present in the Premiership, other than when they spent two seasons in the division below having been relegated in 1997/98 on goal difference.
