Who's Who
of Wigan Athletic
The Football League Years 1978-2004
Dean P. Hayes
Who’s Who Wigan Athletic looks at the varied
experiences of the Latics through the club’s
lifeblood – the players. Some 283 Wigan players
have taken to the field in league matches since the
club’s admission to the Football League in 1978:
some great, some good, and some others. Yet they all
have one thing in common – they have all pulled
on a Latics shirt to represent this most friendly
of clubs.
Through readable biographies and career statistics,
Dean Hayes looks at the contribution that players
and managers have made to the fortunes of Wigan Athletic
in recent years. Illustrated throughout with high
quality photographs, both portraits and action shots,
the book gives a fascinating insight into the recent
history of the Latics. The career details of all those
who have played for Wigan in the Football League are
featured for the first time, from the household names
to the not-so-famous who in some instances played
only a single game in a Wigan shirt.
This comprehensive volume is a valuable addition
to the bookshelves of all fans of the Latics and is
sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in this
proud club.
