Made in Wigan
Vital Champions League
Summed up succinctly there by Vat. Grew up in relative poverty, had a sporting career curtailed by injury yet came back and built a very profitable business providing employment for the region. Whatever ones views of his motives he invested in his run down local club, built it a new stadium and took them though the divisions to numerous seasons in the top flight. His crowning glory was redemption in the same cup final that ended his sporting career in one of the biggest upsets the most famous competition has ever seen. I'd suggest that was far more worthy of recognition than the vast majority of those who pick up gongs for quite frankly doing very little.
