Only options really are to take him boar dating so he can chose his own friend, rescues do this and have good success rates. You can more or less guarantee he will like another boar there and you can bring a needy piggy home with you.
Neutering him will let you find him a wifepig to live with - again, dating would be the route to go (I had a failed bonding recently so would never risk bringing another piggy here unless they had dated first)
I understand how you feel, seeing a lone piggy is heartbreaking but it doesn't have to be that way. Doesn't matter what you do or have for your piggies, they need company of their own xoxo
11 months is still young, my boys were hormone ravaged at 4-5 months but settled after they were neutered and still live very happily together x)
What area do you live in - maybe there are rescues local to you.

Does having them neuted calm them down in anyway - as i heard somewhere that having a male pig neuted does'nt do anything.. I Live in nottingham but for sure il look in to the dating side i was hoping on trying to bond them again come summertime and see how they get on then do you have anytips on re-bonding ?

One of my boars was constantly chasing, mounting, humping his brother to the extent that the other piggy was exhausted from running and I was tempted to split them to give him a rest.
After the neutering, almost 12 months ago now, there has been absolutely zero 'boarish' antics It certainly calmed my boy down and they were at the worst age of 6 months ! Maybe it did have an effect, I'll never know ?/
Re introducing fallen out piggies is the same as introducing them for the first time, everything from scratch as if they'd never met:

As there are three boys, (trios rarely work) you risk another battle for dominance so it all starts again.
Out of curiosity, how much room do they have - this can often be an issues with boys so bigger is better.
Summer is a long way off yet so if you can find a friend for your lone boy if re introducing fails, you will have two sets of contented piggies

Meant to add that as your younger boy is 11 months, it does sound as though he wants to be top pig ! I introduced two sows recently who locked into battle for top spot...never again. My single girl has two buddies now that she chose dating at a rescue.
