Who are our prem legends id say boyce and al habsi is getting there even heskey too
Anyone else think of a player since weve been promoted apart from who was with us in the championship who is or can go on to be club legends
when i think of a legend, i think of someone who gave their all for wigan athletic, there have been a few down the years, but very few during our premier league stint…thats because of the greed and money that the premier league generates…mercenaries after an easy pay day.
so im gonna say lee mculloch for starters, not the best player weve ever had, but he made the best of he ability that he did have. a guy that gave 100% and thats good enough for me.
a bit of a controversial one, but im gonna say emile heskey…ridiculed by many, but i think a perfect fit for us. good leader of the line, and THAT performance at sheff utd should get him in on its own….and lets not forget, as a wigan athletic player, got picked for ENGLAND as number 9.
and thirdly, im gonna say emerson boyce..stayed with us when others have left, and still lookin fairly solid enough for a couple more years, does he hold our most appearance record in the premier league?
For overall contribution during Premiership years it has to be Emerson Boyce. For once off stand out moments Hugo (v Stoke) and Heskey (v Sheff Utd). I’d also give N’Zogbia a mention for his contribution to the 2010/11 season.
I thought the OP only asked for players who had been with us only in the Premiership:
“since weve been promoted apart from who was with us in the championship ”
I know he was with us before the Prem then left. 1999-2002 =126 games.
However he came back for the Prem 2005-2007 = 52 games.and helped us to establish our roots in our early Prem days.top bloke and legend.
Remember going to Halifax in a friendly to see one of boyces first games for us I didn’t think he would still be with us still .but yes he also top bloke and tics legend.
