VINCENT Candela left Wanderers for Udinese with a parting thank-you to the Whites for teaching him to enjoy the game again.
The French international full back spent the six months at the Reebok after leaving Roma where he had lost his place after being a regular for several years.
The lure of the Champions League proved too tempting for Candela who said: "At Bolton, I experienced six exceptional months.
"I found fun again in the game, but the Italian league suits my game much better.
"England is pressing everywhere. It is really a different game.
"The chance to play in the Champions League gives me a lot of joy."
