Bolton defender Mark Little accidentally loses wallet and wedding ring

Twitter plea does the trick after defender gave away much more than he bargained for having staved off relegation

BOLTON defender Mark Little was happy to hand his jacket over to a fan after helping the club stay in the Championship.

But he did not reckon on giving up his wallet and wedding ring too.

The former Bristol City and Wolves ace, 29, gave away much more than he intended after the Trotters' vital 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.

What seemed a decent gesture turned into a nightmare for the right-back, who soon discovered he had offloaded his wallet and wedding ring by mistake.

So Little posted a plea on Twitter for his personal items to be returned.

He got lucky. Little later found his wallet and, after a supporter posted in a Facebook group that the ring had been found, looks set to be reunited with that too.

Barnsley joined Sunderland in League One after they fell without a whimper following a 4-1 defeat at Derby County.

And Bolton's last-gasp win sent Burton Albion down in dramatic fashion.

With 87 minutes gone Bolton needed two goals to save their skins as their goal difference was inferior to that of Burton, who eventually lost 2-1 at Preston.

Then 31-year-old centre-back David Wheater bagged a rare goal to bring it back to 2-2.

And in remarkable fashion, striker Aaron Wilbraham, at the tender age of 38, scored Bolton's third to complete the Great Escape.
