I feel so extrordinary…
The FA Cup, what a beautiful, romantic thing it is, eh? And as we celebrate our third ever appearance in the quarter finals, it’s as good a time as any to remember that we never did a commemorative shirt for that day in May.

Into the Top 30 we go and it is a name whom many consider to be a club stalwart, yet he actually spent seven years playing for Stoke, when the Potteries club were in a higher division than Latics.
Today’s entry into the hall of fame is sure to be a popular choice as it is a man who holds a very unique distinction in Wigan Athletic history. Ian Gillibrand was the captain of Wigan Athletic throughout the 1970’s and will go down as the man who led Wigan Athletic out in their first […]
Time to plop the old Devil’s Advocate hat on me head here again methinks. Was Scott Green THAT good a player or was he just a fist pumping, constantly charging forward and getting out of position frustrated full back?

Derby are in town tomorrow and that give us the chance to grab long term County sufferer supporter Ollie Wright and ask him the usual stuff, you know about football, rampant ex-managers, money and pies.
Anyone for an Austrian barmpot? Go on then! They say there’s no characters in football any more, well the mad Austrian is the exception to that particular rule.
Let’s be perfectly honest here, this man should be number one in many people’s eyes. Indeed if we’d done this poll 40 years ago he clearly would have been. The internet hadn’t been invented then though and TV cameras at a game was a rarity, let alone filming a clip of a goal on your […]
Let’s get this show moving again then with another entry into the Wigan Athletic hall of fame. This time it’s another custodian up on the podium and one of long-standing at that. Anyway, by now some folk might be getting sick of my prose dare I say so it’s time to hand over to one […]
