Walking Down the Manny Road - Bolton Wanderers Podcast

Adam Le Fondre joins us from his new home in India to discuss the ups and downs of his three separate spells at Bolton.

The Wanderers favourite reveals just how much he had wanted to remain at the club under Neil Lennon, how Phil Parkinson wasted the opportunity to pair him with Zach Clough, as well as why beating Nottingham Forest to remain in the Championship ranks as a career highlight.

Le Fondre also gives an insight into the new Le Fondre - second cousin Kian - who is on the cusp of forging a professional career of his own with the Trotters.

Keith Branagan drops in on the podcast to discuss THAT penalty save in the 1995 Division One Play-Off Final against Reading and how the very mention of the topic used to annoy him.

We also ask the former Bolton goalkeeper what it was like to work alongside a young Jussi Jaaskelainen, as well as how it felt coming up against Wanderers whilst on loan at Ipswich Town in 1999 - a Play-Off tie remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Gudni Bergsson explains how he used his legal background to force through a transfer to Bolton in 1995.

The legendary former captain also reflects on the highs and lows of big occasions at Wembley and the Millennium Stadium, as well as explaining why he put off retirement for three consecutive years before finally hanging up his boots in 2003.

Matt Mills gives an honest and insightful look into his time at Bolton - telling the story of how he went from outcast to club captain under Dougie Freedman (twice).

The defender also recalls the pain he felt at being on the receiving end of criticism from supporters, and explains how he had wanted to remain with Wanderers only to be left on the scrapheap by Neil Lennon.

Liverpool goalkeeper Andy Lonergan reveals all on his surprising 2019 move to Anfield, how a sudden influx of winners' medals has given him an appetite for further success, as well as which former Bolton players have joked about having an eye on management - with him joining in a coaching capacity - once their playing days have ended.

David Lee joins us to discuss his immediate future at Bolton Wanderers, ambition to succeed as a first-team manager, memories of the Burnden Park era and much more.

Jay Spearing guest stars on the premiere edition of Walking Down the Manny Road.

We discuss his rise to first-team level at Liverpool, subsequent move to Bolton, as well as the ambitions he holds for Blackpool and the remainder of his playing career.
