Wanderers star Kevin Nolan made an appearance at the Little Lever Sports Club Gala.

The Bolton midfielder watched youngsters play football and signed autographs for fans on playing fields off Mytham Road. Gala chairman Alec Bingham, aged 46, said the fund-raiser made more than £2,000 for the sports club. People were kept entertained with fairground rides such as a helter skelter and merry-go-round. Fund-raising stalls and games were also laid on.
