From Hereford To Chelsea

Thirty Two years today Wigan Athletic played their first game in the Football League.

That was at Edgar Street. The game was drawn 0-0.

This coming weekend the Latics play Chelsea.

"32-years ago to this very day we made our debut in the football league against Hereford, and now we're playing the champions of England in the world's finest league," said Wigan manager Roberto Martinez.

"That's down to the patience and support of our fans down the years and we'll need them again this Saturday."
