Bolton's 'Wotsit' keeper ready to be the Big Cheese against Arsenal

Bolton star Stuart Holden reckons the stick young keeper Adam Bogdan takes in training will serve him well in his Premier League baptism of fire at Arsenal.

The big Hungarian is a genial giant but the butt of jokes at Wanderers - with Mirror Sport revealing how his mates are ribbing him for being dubbed a Wotsit because of his ginger hair and orange kit.

And Holden revealed that top prospect Bogdan takes the jibes in his stride and has the right character for the massive test at The Emirates today.

The United States midfielder said: “Adam takes some stick all of the time from the guys - for everything. He takes abuse on a daily basis, but nobody ever questions his ability.

“We called him Shaggy after the Sccoby Do character before the Wotsit thing. But he takes it all, he is the nicest guy off the pitch. It’s the way he is.

“He did so well on his debut at Southampton and kept a clean sheet. He came on in the Birmingham game and did well, making a key save at the end. He has proved he can get the job done.”

Bogdan will not be the only one in the firing line as Bolton try to keep their unbeaten start going, but Holden thinks the signs of true spirit are showing within the ranks.

The American said: “There is a lot of confidence around because of the manager, he has belief in our ability and that helps us when we are struggling.

“We really pull together as a group and can pull out a result - like we did with ten men and two down against Birmingham.”
