The son of former Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has revealed how former Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere immediately impressed and won over the likes of Kevin Davies on the first day of his loan spell.
Wilshere made 14 appearances for Wanderers in 2009/10 while on loan from Arsenal and scored once. The 30-year-old most recently played for Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus following his release from AFC Bournemouth in 2021 and earlier this summer announced his retirement from football.
Owen Coyle junior, son of the former Wanderers boss who took Wilshere on loan at Wanderers, has now spoken of how the then teenager impressed Davies on his first day at the club. After the veteran 'flattened' Wilshere in a training game, the midfielder returned the favour which immediately put him in the forward's good books.
