Robbie Elliott became the Wanderers record signing when the trotters paid £2.5 million to bring him to the Reebok in July 1997 from Newcastle, Peter Beardsley followed him in August. He is capable of playing in either the left back position or the left side of midfield. He signed professional for his hometown club Newcastle in April 1991. He made his League debut the previous month, and went on to play 79 league games for the Toon Army. He went on to win both England youth and two under 21 caps despite the early part of his career being affected by injury. He grabbed his first goal for The Magpies in a 3-1 win at Filbert Street against Leicester on the opening day of the 1994/95 season.
He made his debut for the Wanderers in the opening day of the 1997/98 season at Southampton in Bolton's 1-0 win. Unfortunately he broke his leg in the first game at the Reebok Stadium against Everton. He seemed to have made an excellent recovery and was fit to tour with the squad in Ireland for the 1998 pre-season tour, making one appearance. His road recovery hit a major setback when he suffered tendonitis and did not play again for a few months. But he scored on his comeback from injury against Norwich in the Worthington Cup. This season Robbie will be hoping to be a first choice although his suspension from the playoff with Ipswich caries over to the new season.
