Bolton Will Test The Toon Claims Butt

Last updated : 29 October 2004 By Mark Heys
Newcastle United and England midfielder Nicky Butt claims that the Magpies trip to Bolton this Sunday will be the biggest test of their season so far.

The former Manchester United man is sure to get a hot reception from the Reebok faithful after spending over a decade at Old Trafford prior to his move to the North East over the summer.

Butt feels that Bolton are a team not to be taken lightly by the Toon Army and says that the Trotters have players to influence a game with the most notable being the skipper Jay-Jay Okocha.

"Personally I think Bolton will be our toughest test so far. I know they always made it difficult when I went there with Manchester United.

"They will always be in your face, but they also have flair players capable of turning a game."
