Little gives away jacket . . . and wallet too!

- By JOE BERNSTEIN

BOLTON defender Mark Little almost paid a high price for his generosity after the final-day win against Nottingham Forest. The Sky Bet Championsh­ip club escaped relegation with a dramatic 3-2 win at the Macron Stadium on Sunday. And amid the celebratio­ns Little gave away his jacket to a fan. Only later did Little, 29, realise that his wallet and wedding ring were in his jacket pocket and his kind gesture appeared to have cost him more than he intended. The former Peterborou­gh and Bristol City right back posted a message on Twitter pleading to the fan to return them and was grateful to be reunited with his wallet. It is understood his wedding ring has also been found and will be handed back to Little (right) tomorrow. Meanwhile, Bolton owner Ken Anderson is stepping up plans to sell the club this summer. Anderson, who rescued the club in 2016 after they had plunged £200million in debt, is keen to hand over control quickly and is talking to interested parties. That would leave the future of Phil Parkinson uncertain, but the manager said: ‘It’s a great club and you’d be very surprised if there weren’t people looking to invest. ‘It’s 2015 since the club were able to buy a player.’
