Nolan sorry for fan confrontation

12 April 2012

Bolton captain Kevin Nolan has offered to apologise to a critical fan after he confronted the supporter at the end of Saturday's goalless draw with West Brom.

The former England Under-21 midfielder lost his cool as he made his way off the pitch at Reebok Stadium after hearing abuse from the Wanderers follower.

"One of our fans was having a go and we had a few words," Nolan told the Daily Mail. "He was upset, I was upset and it got heated. I shouldn't have done it. I'd like to see him now to apologise."

He added: "I won't tell you what he shouted. But I called him down to say, 'Come on, you explain to me what we're doing wrong'.

"I knew it was wrong straight away and I walked away. I'm an emotional lad and I love this club. I genuinely wanted to know what more he wants me to do?

"I'm running my socks off and trying my best. But fans pay to watch us win and have a right to have a go."
