AWESOME! Bolton striker Davies comes to rescue of elderly couple

Bolton Wanderers striker Craig Davies came to the rescue of an elderly couple this week.

Davies came to the assistance of Brian and Jennifer Armitage after their car broke down leaving them stranded on a busy road in Bolton.

Brian, an 81-year-old Wanderers fan, told the Manchester Evening News: "We got Craig a box of chocolates for his troubles. We were taking them and the letters to the club when we happened to see him in Tescos.

"He recognised us both straight away and we recognised him. Craig was absolutely brilliant and a really pleasant chap.

"It just shows that not all footballers are money grabbers and that they do possess humanity."
