Synopsis

Wigan Athletic's third year in the top flight was another thrilling ride. Things started well enough for Chris Hutchings' new look latics: top of the Barclays Premier League for the first time in the club's history in August. But by November, bad luck and poor form had cost the manager his job. Steve Brice, Birmingham City manager and Manchester United's all conquering captain of the 90's, was sensationally brought in for a world record compensation fee in early December, and immediately arrested the slide. A sensational 5-3 win over Blackburn Rovers, first ever 'big four' points against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, beating local rivals Bolton Wanderers with 10 mens, and securing top flight survival in grand style at Villa Park- these were just the highlights of a quite remarkable turnaround in fortunes in the second half of the season. Re-live every league goal and much more from another extraordinary top flight campaign and experience again the magic of the Steve Bruce factor!!
