Ben Haim
After a two-week trial with Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2004, Sam Allardyce secured the services of Ben Haim on a three-year deal for a fee believed to be in the region of £150,000. Although Allardyce did not believe Ben Haim would be ready for the rigours of the Premier League immediately, he was confident that, given time, Ben Haim would have a big impact on the English game.
