Former Bolton Wanderers goalkeeping coach Fred Barber revealed how he leant on the connections of former Whites youngster Aaron Ramsdale to help lure an Arsenal youth prospect out on loan.
Barber spent 16 years on the coaching staff with the Whites on the backroom team of firstly under Colin Todd, before working under Sam Allardyce. He was part of the coaching staff which saw the club's rise to playing European football in the mid-2000s.
Arsenal number one Ramsdale spent part of his youth career at Wanderers after being brought to the club by Barber, who spent more than 15 years as Bolton's goalkeeping coach. He was released by the Whites as a teenager due to his size at the time, which has since sprouted to 6ft 3in.
