Stu's New Road To Recovery & Bolton Is Becoming One Of My Clubs

Stu needs another knee operation:

Holden is now facing a repair job, including a graft of a tendon from his hamstring, that will mean a lay-off for the rest of the year.

Read Stu's tweet right before the match where he suffered the latest injury and everything is made more heartbreaking:

quote:

---

Ahhhh butterflies, not had those in a while! A lot of hardwork has gone into this and ready for next step! Thx for all the support

---

But you just have to love the guy's attitude and determination:

quote:

---

Life would be no fun if there was nothing to overcome! Remember that ?? I'm forever grateful and will take on whatever is in my way!

Gotta love Dougie Freedman and Bolton:

quote:

---

He told the Bolton News: "As long as I'm at this football club - and I'll speak for Phil Gartside and Eddie Davies too - Stu will be a part of it.

"With everyone's best intention, Stu will be a part of this club as a player, on the pitch, playing. There are many different ideas we've got with other things, but right now I'm backing him because he wants to carry on playing.

quote:

---

"I want to make it very clear that Stuart Holden will be here in some capacity at this football club - over my dead body is he leaving.

"He's such a fantastic lad and a great ambassador for this football club. You don't need people who are takers; he's never once talked to me about his contract situation, about his (injury) situation.

"He's always talked to me about how can we win games, how can the team get better, how can we get youngsters in the team? It's music to my ears to have people like that around.
