Sam Allardyce believes his time at Newcastle United was the 'wrong place at the wrong time' for him after he left Bolton Wanderers.
From 1999 to 2007, Allardyce managed Wanderers in the First Division and the top flight which took them to the Uefa Cup in 2005. It was one of the most glittering and successful spells in the club's history.
It followed making just shy of 250 appearances in a Wanderers shirt during his playing career and celebrated a Second Division title in 1978. He represented the club in two spells during his playing career.
