steve johnson was the 1st black (or mixed race) person to sign for latics in my memory. i had my photo with him on the day i was mascot .v. burnley 1982. of course remember donny page then winston white (springfield park era).
According to my very good friend Des Grant, he was the first black player to play for Wigan ! He told me that last Saturday when I asked him if he wanted our Jeff’s ticket ( Massive hangover !) for the Leeds game !
