Wigan Album

Is that Bobby Charlton front left?

Yes it is.Probably when he was a director. It didn't last long with his mate Freddie Pye.

Yes Roy,
Charlton was on the Wigan board back then and was briefly caretaker manager.

Tony Book (ex-Man City) extreme left, back row?

Middle of front row, Tony Knowles, to his right Neil Morrisey

I thought Neil Morrisey was my mate Paul Fenna Ha Ha

Colin Methven, back row 3rd from right?

I'm sure this was John Browns testimonial, but wondering why hes not on the pic.I remember Charlton hitting the bar that day with a screamer from about 40 yards out!

Just a note on this, Banksy - the original black and white image is from Eamonn O'Keeffe's page, and this version is in fact colourised by myself :)

And a great job you did George!

Anyone know who the player is end right front row.

(back row)Tony Book, Kevin Langley, Peter Houghton, Colin Methven, John McMahon, Roy Tunks
(front row)Bobby Charlton, Phil Williams, Kevin Sheldon, Eamonn O’Keefe, Mark Shaw

This seems to be a charity game on 23 January 1983 against a Blackpool XI for policemen from Blackpool who had drowned. Latics won 3-2 in front of a crowd of 2,200.
