[@abderrahmanekecira8341]

Ivan Campo was a centre back until the late years of his career he became a midfielder Theo certified ball knowledge

[@LordoftheDarts]

During his time in England, he played as a defensive midfielder. His first game he played centre half but after that he moved up the pitch due to his passing ability

[@Jackson9Martinez]

I thought he was talking about Fernando Hierro tbh

[@samhardiing]

@@Jackson9Martinez can’t believe no one mentioned him! legend

Wasn’t expecting a Bolton player to be on a pod like this anytime soon. Dapo Dapo is a future goat

[@MontMich]

As a West Ham fan I was so gassed for him coming on for the FA Cup game and getting that goal! I was hoping to see more of him at West Ham but love seeing what he's doing at Bolton!

[@simsidhu1596]

Remember him playing academy at TFC; happy Toronto is party of his journey. Good luck Dapo!

[@omairsadiq3313]

Dapo is scoring this weekend you heard it here first

[@georgecourt3359]

What a story. Got me rooting for Bolton, sounds like they have a decent fan base

[@davidgreen3350]

For anybody wanting to be a footballer this is a must watch, Dapo Dapo is a quality footballer who admits the journey has its ups and downs. So happy we have Dapo a brilliant human being as well as a brilliant footballer. Bolton STH coyw

dapo is a class player, lucky to have him at bolton he’s far better than us and will achieve far better than we will, love the man and what he’s doing for our club. loves this episode

[@108noonoo]

He is not far better than bolton he has not even been are best player this season. Are you even a bolton fan. Dapo is a championship quality player bolton going for championship next year.

[@cameron.m5]

@@108noonoo am I even a Bolton fan? He’s been our biggest player this year, his created chances and build up play is phenomenal and we wouldn’t be in the position we finished if it wasn’t for him, such a key player for us and will go further than we will in the next few years

[@108noonoo]

@@cameron.m5 You have not watched every game like me then sure he is one of our best players but at the moment he is still mid tier championship player and that's were we aiming for in the next 2 years.

[@cameron.m5]

@@108noonoo been to every home game this season including a few away games and watched the rest of the away games, honestly has been so crucial for us just rewatch the games mate, he’s not bigger than our club by no means but he’s a good young player with potential that we’re luck to have, if we didn’t have him this season it would be a different story

[@108noonoo]

@@cameron.m5 You implied before he was bigger than the club that was the point lol
