Bolton Wanderers new recruit Glen Little has said he has total respect for his new teammates, notably Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff and says he can't wait to start his Premiership career with the Trotters.

The 27-year old winger, signed on a months loan from Burnley on deadline day said

"Compared to Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff, I'm a pub player!" he said

"Okocha's unbelievable. My gaffer (Burnley's Stan Ternent) calls me a circus act but I'd hate to hear what he'd say about Okocha!"

He was also grateful to the Bolton manager Sam Allardyce for giving him the chance to show his skills on the Premiership stage and has said he is determined to make the most of any opportunity he has in his stay at the club.

"I've been waiting five or six years for this chance and I thought it might have passed me by but Sam Allardyce has shown faith in me and I'm trying to repay that faith." added Little
