CLUB HISTORY & BACKGROUND

We were delighted to welcome Wigan Athletic into the Football Aid family in 2005 to host our 'Legends Master Class' at their famous Academy and they continued to host these unique events up until 2007. Reserve Team Coach, David Lowe and former Wigan winger, David Lee ran the show in '06, putting fans through the drills, thrills and spills experienced by pro footballers during training sessions while Lee McCulloch was also onside to stamp his seal of the approval on the event, explaining, "It's great to see others put through their paces for once!"

2008 EVENT CANCELLED

We have to announce with great regret that our Wigan Athletic training day this year has had to be cancelled. A club spokesman has confirmed that: "We are doing some much needed work to the training pitches in readiness for the return of the players in mid-July. We apologise for this decision, and we will endeavour to support Football Aid in any other way we can this year, and hope to reinistate the Legends Masterclass again next season."
