Lost amidst the euphoria of a stunning performance over Ian Holloway’s Blackpool on Saturday was the fact that Wigan Athletic goal scorer Hugo Rodallega created a unique piece of Latics history for himself.
The third minute strike was the Colombian hit man’s 21st goal in club colours, this means that he now enters the Wigan Athletic record books as the scorer of the most top flight goals in the clubs history. He overtakes the previous best record that was held by Senegal striker Henri Camara. Here is how ‘Rodders’ achieved his record…
