Beckham courted by Bolton

Bolton Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce would love to welcome David Beckham to the Reebok Stadium if he decides to leave Real Madrid.
The former England captain is out of contract in the summer and has yet to agree terms on a new deal to remain in Spain.
And Allardyce has pointed to the fact that the Trotters have a history of welcoming high-profile players to the club should Beckham decide to return to the Premiership.
"Bolton Wanderers would love to sign David Beckham, of course we would," he told Wanderers TV.
"In the past when that sort of name has been attached to this club, people considered it as something that was never going to happen.
"But cast your mind back to Youri Djorkaeff. People scoffed and said he would never come to play for Bolton but he came.
"So did Bruno N'Gotty, Ivan Campo and Fernando Hierro - we've attracted some fabulous players to the club.
"I am not saying that is going to get us Beckham but if it could, I would love it."
