Bolton Wanderers: How Sam Allardyce Made Them GREAT! [How Big Sam Got Bolton To The Premier League]

Do you remember when Bolton Wanderers and Sam Allardyce were competing near the top of the Premier League? Do you know how they got there?

This two-part video series will explore how Sam Allardyce (or Big Sam) guided Bolton from mid-table in the second division to competing in Europe with a team containing the likes of Jay-Jay Okocha, Hidetoshi Nakata, and Fernando Hierro.

This video (Part 1) specifically dives into Big Sam's early career and the road leading to his appointment as Bolton's manager, before detailing how his innovative approach to management helped guide them to promotion out of the second division and into the Premier League.

Following that, we will see how Bolton fared in their first seasons in the Premier League. As well as looking at how Big Sam pulled off some incredible deals in the transfer market, signing superstars such as Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff despite Bolton being a relatively unknown club with a small budget!
