IAN EVATT 

The Manager 

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM 

FOR OUR SECOND HOME MATCH IN QUICK SUCCESSION FOLLOWING OUR OPENING 

DAY SKY BET LEAGUE ONE GAME AGAINST MK DONS. 

Tonight we host Barnsley in the 

first round of the Carabao Cup and 

I’d like to welcome their manager, 

Markus Schopp, his staff and the 

travelling supporters. 

Barnsley are a strong Championship 

side who reached the Play-Off semifinals 

last season so will provide us 

with a good challenge this evening. 

We will of course be looking to 

progress as far as we can in all the 

cup competitions this season as we 

want to build up momentum that will 

benefit us for our league campaign. 

Looking back at Saturday, it was 

amazing to finally be playing in front 

of crowd once again after such a 

long period of absence. 

That over 16,000 of you were in 

attendance was a sight to behold as 

we walked on to the pitch for kick 

off. The noise and atmosphere was 

extraordinary and it is a memory that 

myself, staff and players will cherish 

fondly for a very long time. 

Seeing the smiles on your faces 

and hearing the roar as each goal 

went in was spine-tingling and we 

look forward to creating many more 

memories together over the coming 

weeks and months. 

Regarding the game, it went as I 

expected in terms of possession 

which was about 50-50 because 

both teams like to keep hold of the 

ball and dominate possession. 

In terms of chances created, I 

thought we edged it but we just 

didn’t quite take them, which sounds 

a bit crazy as we scored three. The 

goals we conceded were soft, which 

left a bitter taste in the mouth but this 

is something that we will of course 

rectify. 

I thought it was going to be open, 

there was going to be goals in it and 

it was who took advantage of the 

better opportunities. 

As I said, the atmosphere was 

fantastic and it lifted our players, 

particularly in the last five minutes 

where I have no doubt it helped us to 

get the equaliser. 

It was a game we didn’t deserve to 

lose and we got something out of it 

which was important. 

Thanks for your excellent support. 

Ian 

Enjoy the game,

WANDERERS SNAP UP 

Kachunga 

IAN EVATT BOOSTED HIS ATTACKING OPTIONS ON THE EVE OF BOLTON WANDERERS' 

RETURN TO SKY BET LEAGUE ONE ACTION BY SIGNING FORMER GERMANY UNDER 21 

INTERNATIONAL ELIAS KACHUNGA ON A TWO-YEAR DEAL, SUBJECT TO CLEARANCE. 

The 29 year-old had been a summer 

target for the Wanderers’ manager 

following his departure from 

previous club Sheffield Wednesday. 

Born in Germany, Kachunga came 

through the youth system of Borussia 

Monchengladbach and gained 

experience with several clubs in his 

homeland, including appearances in 

44 Bundesliga matches. 

He moved to English football in 2016 

where he joined Huddersfield Town 

initially on loan. 

After helping the Terriers win 

promotion to the Premier League, the 

West Yorkshire outfit paid just over 

£1 million to secure his services on a 

permanent basis. 

He made over 100 appearances for 

Town, including 39 in the Premier 

League, during his time at the John 

Smith’s Stadium. 

The versatile frontman, who can play 

as a number nine or on either wing, 

has been capped at under 19 and 

under 21 levels by Germany and also 

has represented DR Congo at full 

international level. 

Speaking to the club’s official 

website, Kachunga said: “I’m really 

happy and excited to have signed for 

Bolton Wanderers. 

“I’m a player who puts a lot of 

passion in my game and I will work 

very hard for this football club. 

HE IS VASTLY EXPERIENCED, WELL-EDUCATED AND 

HAS PLAYED THE GAME AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. 

“I had really good talks with the 

gaffer and Chris (Markham – 

Technical Performance Director) and 

they explained what their plans for 

the club are. 

“It’s been a really long time without 

supporters in the stadium and I’m 

now looking forward to playing in 

front of them here at the University of 

Bolton Stadium.” 

Wanderers Manager Ian Evatt added: 

“Elias was one of our primary targets 

in the summer but it didn’t quite work 

out then. 

“Sometimes football’s a funny old 

game and opportunities come 

around again. 

“Elias is a fantastic player with a great 

pedigree and is versatile in attack 

which gives us the ability to play him 

in different ways. 

“He is vastly experienced, welleducated 

and has played the game 

at the highest level. 

“We are delighted to have him on 

board.”

Polish international defender 

Michał Helik enjoyed a successful 

first season in English football with 

Barnsley in 2020/21, establishing 

himself as a regular in the team 

with 49 appearances for the Tykes. 

Also chipping in with five goals, the 

imposing centre back was one of 

the key men last term as the South 

Yorkshire outfit reached the Sky 

Bet Championship play-offs against 

many people’s expectations. 

Beginning his career with Ruch 

Chorzów, Helik went onto sign for 

Cracovia in 2017 – one of the City 

of Kraków’s two biggest clubs. 

Impressing during just over three 

years at Stadion Miejski Cracovii, he 

earned a move into the English game 

with Barnsley in September 2020 – 

joining for an undisclosed fee. 

One of Bury’s most notable 

academy graduates during recent 

years, Styles broke through the 

youth ranks at Gigg Lane to make 

his professional debut for the 

Shakers at just 16 years of age. 

Going onto make 47 appearances 

for the club as a teenager, the 

talented midfielder completed a 

move to Barnsley in August 2018. 

Styles has become a regular in 

the team at Barnsley and made an 

impressive 50 appearances (5 goals) 

last term as the Tykes reached the 

Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs. 

With a bright future ahead of him, he 

will be aiming for another stand-out 

campaign in the second tier this time 

around. 

Recently named as the club’s new 

captain, Cauley Woodrow is the 

focal point to Barnsley’s attack 

and will continue to carry the lead 

role under new manager Markus 

Schopp. Coming through the youth 

ranks at Fulham, he went onto make 

66 appearances (12 goals) for the 

Cottagers, before a permanent 

move to South Yorkshire in July 

2019. 

Arriving at Oakwell after a successful 

loan spell, since his permanent 

switch he has made 92 appearances 

(30 goals). During his time at Fulham, 

the former England U21 international 

also had loan spells with Luton Town, 

Southend United, Burton Albion, and 

Bristol City.

A Foot In 

BOTH CAMPS 

PROFILING A PLAYER WHO HAS REPRESENTED 

BOTH BOLTON WANDERERS AND BARNSLEY. 

Ricardo Vaz Tê 

Born in Lisbon in October 1986, Ricardo 

Jorge Vaz Tê spent time in his native 

Portugal playing youth football for Real 

Massama and Farense before signing 

for Bolton Wanderers in 2003 after 

impressing during a trial period with 

the club. 

Making his debut for Bolton in a 1-1 FA 

Cup draw against Tranmere Rovers at 

Prenton Park in January 2004, Vaz Tê 

would go onto spend over seven years 

in BL6. Although he had a brief loan stint 

at Hull City in 2007, he made a total 

of 78 appearances (7 goals) before 

ultimately joining Hibernian in a 

permanent deal in January 2011. 

Spending the second half 

of the 2010/11 season with 

the Edinburgh club, the 

Portuguese forward 

signed for Barnsley in 

the summer of 2011. 

Spending the first 

half of the 2011/12 

season at 

Oakwell, he was 

excellent for the 

Tykes and made 24 appearances (12 

goals) before completing a January 2012 

move to West Ham United. 

Vaz Tê spent three years with the 

Hammers and made a total of 

61 appearances (19 goals) in the 

Championship and Premier League. 

Sandwiched between spells in Turkey 

and China, the forward had a brief 

spell with Charlton Athletic where he 

made 12 appearances in two and-a-half 

months. Now a veteran at the back end 

of his career, Vaz Tê is currently playing 

for Portuguese Primeira Liga side, 

Portimonense.

(Angel 20, 56) 

21st January 2004 | League Cup Semi-Final First Leg | Reebok Stadium 

We have delved into the archives 

to come up with some of Bolton 

Wanderers’ best performances in 

the League Cup in years gone by. 

To start with, a seven-goal thriller 

against the Villa. 

Wanderers had reached the semifinals 

of the League Cup and earned 

a double-header against Aston Villa 

after seeing off Walsall, Gillingham, 

Liverpool, and Southampton en route 

to the final four. 

In his final game before heading 

to the African Cup of Nations to 

represent Nigeria, Jay Jay Okocha 

put in a phenomenal display scoring 

two brilliant goals to help Sam 

Allardyce’s side to a memorable 

victory. Although Villa won the 

second leg 2-0 at Villa Park, it wasn’t 

enough to stop Bolton reaching the 

final.

Giving Football Back to 

Small Business 

At eBay, we know small business and 

football clubs used to be like chips and 

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match 

made in community heaven. 

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring 

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs 

which decades later are still prospering. 

But nowadays, you’d think it was all 

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues 

and mega sponsors, detached from the 

humble origins of our historic clubs. 

That’s why eBay are proud to support 

300,000 small businesses who help 

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be 

donating our advertising space to a lot 

of these businesses – on match day 

hoardings, around grounds and beyond – 

throughout the coming season, to ensure 

they can continue to thrive in our local 

communities. So, join us in giving your 

support to Small Business Power, because 

today, they need us more than ever.

after finishing as runners-up. 

With the score goalless, the

Borgetti. Ricardo Vaz Te added a

Leicester halved the deficit through

THOUGHT WE’D WON IT, AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY’D WON IT, BUT WE 

ENDED UP SHAKING HANDS WITH A DRAW. THERE’S LOTS OF POSITIVES REALLY, 

I SAW GREAT CHARACTER FROM MY PLAYERS AND I THINK AT 2-1 UP WERE

BAPTISTE 

REFLECTS ON 

DRAMATIC 

OPENING DAY 

DRAW AGAINST 

MK DONS 

Alex Baptiste was in the right place 

at the right time to score a last 

gasp equalising goal against MK 

Dons at the University of Bolton 

Stadium, on the opening day of the 

Sky Bet League One campaign. The 

defender spoke shortly after the 

game to give his assessment of an 

all action afternoon of football 

He said: “I’m happy to have helped 

out with the goal, it was carnage of a 

first day. There was mistakes, goals 

and end to end stuff. I imagine it was 

a great game of football for the fans 

to watch with a few heart in mouth 

moments. 

“We thoroughly deserved something 

from the game and like I said 

anything I can do for the team I’ll try 

to do, and I’m happy to have got the 

equaliser today. 

“The last five minutes it’s started 

chucking it down and Kacha (Elias 

Kachunga) has done unbelievably 

well to cut the ball back when I 

thought the ball was going to go out 

for a goal kick and I’ve done my best 

to miss it (Laughs).”
