He played twice for us in 2005/6 in the league cup (says Wiki) then went elsewhere.
I don't follow football that closely these days. I couldn't name any members of the Bolton squad tbh.

don't get me wrong . I'm not surprised at all . Its just a matter of interest . People have different taste and interests .

Carefully does it. You can be tracked down and arrested if you say the wrong things about this incident. Always remember, the right to be offended and outraged now trumps the right to speech or thought and even dark (modified for the sake of political correctness) un-white not gay happy, edgy humour.

Obviously a terrible incident for the lad concerned and his family and friends, including those who know him in football. They'll support each other through this and that's how it should be. For the rest of us, I'm sure we'll get over it in about 5 seconds (or less). That's not meant to be cruel or uncaring, personally I haven't invested enough interest in this to be cruel or uncaring. It's just realistic but only a couple of people out of a hundred would have the guts to tell the truth.

All depends what you want, a hair tearing and chest thumping carnival where the name of the game is jostling to the best position at the front so every last act of insincerity gets maximum attention. Or just leave the lad and his family alone and go about your normal business. You'll quickly find the world has not come to an end or even changed.

But if it's really important to get involved, can I tempt you to rope into your thinking the hundreds of thousands of families "our boys" abroad have slaughtered? Or the millions that die each year for want of a drink of water? And so on?

Don't we demean ourselves when we single out an individual for special attention while ignoring millions who suffer at least as many life threatening (or ending) hardships, most of which are preventable and only occur so we can buy TV's on which to watch the journalists pulling out their fingernails in grief, or newspapers that scream tragedy on the front page while consigning actual tragedy (on epic scales) to the minor columns and even then spun in such a way as to make the torment seem necessary and even desirable and moral?

It's a thing of perspective.

I suppose the question is, is it illegal to be honest? Is honesty the policy best concealed?

Plainly Arsene is happy this happened. His failure to scale Everest and shout announcements with a bullhorn gives him away.
