Presumably to be covered in tomorrow’s TVOS, but anyway
I was looking at an article in the Football League Paper about the promotion-winning Wigan team of 96/97, I hadn’t realised how many of them had played for us at one point:
http://www.theleaguepaper.com/features/2808/where-are-they-now-wigan-athletic-di
Izzy Diaz, Frank Lord, Graham Lancashire, John Pender, Paul Tait
Plus Youth Development Head, Colin Greenall.
And a John Doolan, but apparently not the John Doolan
And the manager John Deehan had been immediately preceded by Graham Barrow

Colin Greenall would have played for us too, by all accounts, were it not for a last-minute change of heart by Wigan. |  |

Urrrggg Paul Tait. Waste of a huge wage at the time. |  | | |

We had signed Andy Farrell and Mark Leonard from them tin the summer of '96 as well. Barrow's recruitment was, without doubt, the worst this club has ever seen.
Thing was, there were so many fans willing him to do well that year and he was without the number one choice of supporters. He got it wrong straight away. |  |

How does such a respected club now cope with dealing with a bottom four budget? Must be a come down from those halcyon days. | |
