WANDERERS defender Nicky Hunt is trying his hand at a new "career" - as a headline DJ at a top Bolton nightspot.

Hunt, who has a passion for music and loves mixing records and spinning the turntables in his spare time, will be at The Bar in Nelson Square every Sunday .

He first started out on the record decks of Wanderers' team-mate Ricardo Gardner until, after numerous practice sessions, he opted to play on a bigger stage.

Hunt is now headlining the Portuguese-African themed night at The Bar.

He said: "I have always had an interest in music and would love to pursue a career in DJing when my footballing life comes to an end. We have a number of African and Portuguese players in the team and the music in our dressing room often changes. However, I usually change it back to something I like, such as hip hop and Rn'B."

The sessions, at 7pm, will feature African dance, percussion and vocals and a free buffet before 10pm.

cool go for it nicky. will everyone lay off him, he will be great next season again and be knocking on englands door, he has had his confidence knocked when he got badly injured, look at dean holden, who is he know? he would have been great at bolton but got wrecked after his injury, so glad nicky hunt had what it takes to slowly get back.

You know what Richard, you're right, i'm normally the first to accuse people of not getting behind the team and there i am at it myself.

Good luck Nicky and good luck next season.

Only if they are on Saturdays.

Search YouTube for 'Nicky Hunt' and you'll see the extent of his brain if you find the Phil Neville video.

Well said Richard.
Football is all about confidence.
There cant be anything worse than
being slagged off all the time.
Lets get behind Hunt and Nolan ,and stop shooting them down in flames.
I am the first to admit they both struggled with their form last season.
The good thing is they are both only young men,and still learning their trade.
They will both be better players next season.

Paul B, Worsley says...

Let's hope he gets a slipped disc.

If football is all about confidence, how much confidence did Big Sam give Nolan by picking him for 90 minutes every single week, constantly touting him for England (hilarious) and making him club captain? Add to that he's 1 of the few players that actually gets his name sung by the Bolton fans. You would think he would have been bursting with confidence, yet he played abysmally. Contrast that with the lack of confidence Sam showed in Tal, Stelios and Andranik. Its not just the fans that are responsible for a player's confidence, I would have thought its mainly down to the management and in my opinion Sam was far too patient with Kev to the detriment of his more talented teammates.

you are DELUDED

Knocking on England's door...dont make me laugh

You're clearly a dingle in disguise...the air must be a bit thin up in Darwen....

james f*k off back to westhoughton, support the team you pr1ck, u are obisously a twa*T most likely a geordie. Nicky hunt was exceptional before his injury if you remember and he will be back after a good pre season. Its d1cks like you that infuriate the true wanderers supporter, any way James nicky hunt will always be twice the player you are as i dont see James From WESTHOUGHTON wearing the number 2 shirt for BWFC. I cant believe how much of a one dimensional pr1ck you are, fair play hunt did not have the best of seasons but it was becasue he was injured. I suppose you think Nolan is sh1te also?

Sammy, take this shirt off of me
I can't use it anymore.
A career in non league beckons me
I feel like I'm knockin' on England's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on England's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on England's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on England's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on England's door

sammy, put my boots in the ground
I can't wear them anymore.
The great Ryan Giggs is running by me fast
I feel like I'm knockin' on England's door.

eric got to admit that song you invented was rather amusing!! just like that flying kick cantona did on that little scally crystal palace fan, i commend his actions for that. Eric the King, i worship that guy for that flying kick on a chav!! not for his football or club he played for.

richard, darwen says...
1:06pm Wed 13 Jun 07

chris - william prunier was a japp stam look alike!! prunier was the worst player ever in the premier league!! ha ha!!

Try harder then, cos we are not amused pal. Just mildly irritated by your constant presence.

Prunier was ace, I remember he played once for the Rags v Spuds and they let in about 6.....happy days

So you want to talk about a United player who played two games, 12 years ago ?
How strange.
It fuels the 'Bolton fan-obsession with us' theory.

Roger Hunt has a better chance.
To be fair to Sam, he knows where the problems are.
But he's been told that you are not signing old non Brits on big contracts.
So expect more obscure names, younger & English.

The whole idea of this comments section is so that people can aire their opinions on the subject matter.
If people (and I am one of them) think Nicky Hunt is not a good player, that does not mean that we are a) not BWFC fands or b) not correct.
You are entitled to your opinions and so are we, without being reduced to being called TWA*S

richard, darwen says...
2:30pm Wed 13 Jun 07

Gloria - do you know what off side is??? hoe bizarre a woman commenting on football, nicky hunt is far better than you will ever be so i recommend that you head back to your arm chair with your knitting needles! No wander the reebok is dull for atmosphere with the likes of Gloria there he he!!

richard, darwen says...
2:33pm Wed 13 Jun 07

gloria before you spout your mouth off again think twice as it was James who instigated such a reaction with the mocking of Darwen "DINGLE" which is an offensive word to a bolton fan!

I can see how calling you a "dingle in disguise" means you call me a **** and a ****. Classy....

We'll have to agree to disagree on Hunt.

As a side issue - his YouTube video about Phil Neville, well apart from pots and kettle's - how unprofessional IMHO.

ok james we can let it drop, i aplogise for offending u with such lingo.. Hunt like you said we can disagree on, i really do hope we can shape ourselves and be a force next season. sorry mate

How rude to insult Gloria. Sexism is about as attractive as racism and shows ignorance.

do bwfc fans just come on here to moan about there club we must have some of the worst fans in the league hope we get it out of there systems before aug 11 then hopefully they will support the team instead of wingeing

Come on the Boton!!!

Lets get behind the players!!! We have let the rubbish go and they are being replaced by dedicated pro's who have played in the prem for a number of years. JLS will be twice the left back Reggae boy is and we can push Rickt up the left flank. I hope we sign Hunt for the right and play attacking footy up to Davo and Anelka. Reckon we will kick Newcastle off the park, as they will play route one football, hence why Fat wallet (SA) brought in the DUKE.

Have a good summer BWFC fans!!!
