There is nothing quite like last-day drama. This is the Official DVD Season Review of Wigan Athletic’s pulsating year in the Premiership 2006/2007.
Every Wigan Athletic fan in the country must have sympathy with Paul Jewell’s decision to stand down as manager of the club, having experienced the agonizing tension and emotional turmoil of Sunday May 13th 2007. Could West Ham really be winning at Old Trafford, home of the Champions Manchester United? That meant only one thing would ensure survival – a win at fellow strugglers Sheffield United. Start checking the wristwatch again.
8 yellow cards, one red card and a penalty – quite dramatic for any match. But a Premiership decider? Every Wigan Athletic player needed nerves of steel for that showdown at Bramall Lane. The team did not disappoint and performed heroically to keep Dave Whelan’s beloved club in the top flight of English football for another year. David Unsworth’s penalty proved the crucial factor in the match and despite the sending off of Lee McCulloch with over a quarter of an hour left, the Lattics held on.
The Wigan Athletic Season Review 2006/07 also features highlights from every Premiership, FA Cup and League Cup games and includes every single Latics goal. Relive Wigan’s thumping 4-0 victory over Manchester City, the memorable Lee McCulloch winner against Harry Redknapp’s high-flying Portsmouth, great wins on the road at Bolton and West Ham, plus much, much more.
Wigan Athletic supporters will enjoy watching the survival moments all over again on this great official DVD from the 2006/2007 Premier League season.
