Tamir Cohen admits he's surprised by how he's managed to turn his career around at Bolton Wanderers.
In less than 12 months, the Israel international has transformed from a seemingly-unwanted fringe player struggling with injuries under Gary Megson's tutelage into a vital cog in Owen Coyle's midfield.
"Any game that I didn't play or I wasn't selected, I would go home and be so angry, I didn't know what to do with myself," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.
"And I'll be honest, I don't know where it all changed for me.
"Gary Megson did not pick me for the first two games of this season but I kept myself in a good condition to make sure when I got my chance I could do it.
"For my luck, and thanks to God up in the sky, I got the opportunity to score against Liverpool, then got a second, and then a third.
"I was the top scorer in the team for a couple of weeks and had never done that before.
"For any player who isn't playing at the moment, or even those who only get a game once in a while like I did, I think I am a good example of how things change.
"I went from not playing in the team to being the top scorer in the team for a while."
