Three Bolton Wanderers players visited an ice cream parlour in Bolton after celebrating their recent trophy win.

Eoin Toal, Conor Bradley and James Trafford posed together in a picture at the Milk Maids in Over Hulton.

The Milk Maids posted the picture to their Facebook page, prompting lots of comments.

The players have been in high spirits after the Papa Johns Trophy win over Plymouth Argyle at Wembley Stadium on April 2.

It comes following James Trafford’s revelation in 2022 that, after a ‘bonus’, he would spend his money on ice cream.

The Bolton player, on loan from Manchester City, is known for his love of ice cream and said in July 2022 after a contract with his team that he would celebrate with more ice cream.

The Bolton News:

One of the owners of Milk Maids, Fiona Partington, said: “They’re really nice boys.

“They’re just normal and genuine nice lads.

“They were happy to be in and try our ice cream and had never been here before.”

The players tried chocolate and butterscotch, dime bar, and kinder bueno ice creams.

Fiona said: “I know one of them said a while back he was going to spend his money on ice cream so he’s doing just that.

“They’re young lads just coming up the league but they were so kind and nice.”

Milk Maids have another reason to celebrate as their ‘Easter Rocks’ initiative is doing well.

Fiona planted hand-painted stones around Westhoughton with clues on where to find each one on the Facebook page.

Those who find one can exchange it for free ice cream.

So far, around 15 have been exchanged, with 15 more still hidden.

Fiona said: “It’s been going really well, the kids are excited when they come in and parents thank us for doing it, because it has got them out of the house in lovely weather.

“Everyone has been loving it and we’re excited to see more children find them.”

The stones were hand-painted by Fiona’s niece and nephew and some of them offer an educational tip too.

Fiona said: “It’s just something for them to do.

“I put the first stone between some bales with a post on what the bales are, because during Covid, some young people set fire to our bales and it spread to the barn.

“I think if they knew the consequences, they might not do that.”
