The number 13 is unlucky for some, but Wanderers’ new signing Marlon Fossey will be hoping that isn’t the case.
The pacy full-back made his debut in the defeat at Hartlepool on Tuesday night after joining on loan from Fulham.
But which other Bolton players have worn the number 13 shirt? Here is a full list according to Transfermarkt.
Aidan Davison
Bruce Rioch brought Aidan Davison to Wanderers in the summer of 1993 to provide competition for Keith Branagan.
The goalkeeper was part of the squad that won promotion to the top-flight via the play-offs in the 1994/95 season.
Davison later spent time on loan at Hull and Ipswich before joining Bradford on a free transfer in March 1997.

John Gope-Fenepej

Youri Djorkaeff – a World Cup, European Championship and UEFA Cup winner - made a surprise move to Bolton in February 2002.
At 33 years of age, Djorkaeff had seen a move to Germany turn sour and decided it was the right time to head to the Premier League.
The Frenchman scored seven goals in 2002/03 and reached double figures the following season as Sam Allardyce’s men secured an eighth-place finish.
His Bolton highlight was a remarkable goal against Charlton, which played a part in the Whites' top-flight survival.
Andy Oakes
Allardyce signed Andy Oakes on loan from Derby in the summer of 2004 as a back-up to Jussi Jaaskelainen.
The goalkeeper went on to make just one appearance for Wanderers, featuring in a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa.
Oakes went on to have spells with Walsall, Swansea and Darlington before hanging up his boots in 2009.
Paddy Kenny

Ben Amos
Ben Amos joined Wanderers in January 2015, initially on loan from Manchester United before making the move permanent at the end of the season.
The goalkeeper went on to make 53 appearances for the Whites before having loan spells with Charlton and Millwall.
