LITTLE Bruce William Frank Charles Hamblett is a living tribute to his parents' passion for Bolton Wanderers. The 18 month old toddler has been given the initials BWFC by football-crazy mum and dad Anne and Colin.

Anne, 31, said: "We're all so proud and committed to Bolton Wanderers that we decided to give Bruce his special name.

"We're delighted they're in the Premier League but we'll support them whatever division they play in."

Colin, 32, of Whittle Street, Walkden, took Bruce to his first game at Burnden Park when he was just two weeks old.

Eleven-year-old Daniel is a Burnden ball-boy and Sarah, 12; Damien, nine, and Kimberley, aged six, are all devoted to the team's cause.

Anne added: "Colin travels everywhere watching the Wanderers and the rest of us go as much as we can.

"I'm sure Bruce will be proud of his name as he gets older - and there's no doubt he'll be a big Bolton fan living in this family!"
