Bolton signing Blake leaves young Burnley couple furious

New Bolton Wanderers signing Robbie Blake has left one Burnley-supporting couple absolutely distraught.

The 34-year-old's stunning volley against Manchester United last August - Burnley's first ever Premier League goal - compelled Adi Moore, 24, and Leanne Lambshead, 26, to name their second child Robbie-Blake Moore.

Speaking after learning of Blake's controversial move to join former Clarets boss Owen Coyle, Adi said he was very disappointed.

Adi told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Blake's still a legend and one of my favourite players in a Burnley shirt, but I'll definitely be booing him next season.

"I hope we get Bolton in the cup, so he has to come back to the Turf.

"He could have gone anywhere except for there with Coyle."
