Mark Davies hurt by the Wolves boo-boys

The 24-year-old Bolton midfielder marked his latest return to his old club with a stunning last-minute equaliser in Tuesday's 2-2 draw.

Davies, who spent a decade with his hometown club before moving to the Reebok Stadium for an initial £1m in January 2009, was booed throughout by Wolves fans after winning a controversial penalty in Bolton's 3-2 win in March.

And he admitted he found the abuse hard to take.

"It's a little bit hard going back with the way the home fans were," said Davies.

"I'm not really sure why the booing has come about.

"Maybe it's because of me winning the penalty there last season, because prior to that things were OK."

Davies, who hails from Willenhall, said he remains a committed gold and black devotee, despite the abuse.

"Wolves are the team I've supported throughout my life," he said. "I still follow them to this day and I want them to do well.

"In an ideal world, both ourselves and Wolves will be promoted back to the Premier League at the end of the season.

"It's where I grew up and I've got a lot of friends there."

Davies, who is close friends with several Wolves players added: "There are five or six of the Wolves players I'm still close to.

"The goalkeeper Carl Ikeme is actually one of them so I was having a bit of banter with him in the tunnel after the game.

"It was nice to go back to Molineux and seeing all of the behind-the-scenes staff."

Bolton trailed 2-1 to Kevin Doyle's first-half brace until Davies' 90th-minute wonder strike gave Ikeme no chance.

But the midfielder admitted he was always confident. "It was a good away point – Molineux is a hard place to get good results," he added.
