Are all grounds not half empty during FA Cup ties? It’s only when clubs get to the quarter finals that the fans start coming out of the woodwork!
To be fair Johnny, these 2 were quite good!
They didn’t actually play together as a pair that much though…….it was usually one or the other.
At Wembley, Mc Arthur played right wing back.[/quote]
Well McCarthur seemed to think that they were a good partnership and I seem to remember them being an integral part of our relegation avoiding team!

I find it quite odd that there is no mention of Ian’s passing on the official Wigan Athletic website? Both Chelsea and Ross County have paid tribute to Ian on their respective websites but nothing from Wigan! I hope he is going to be acknowledged this Saturday!
Not sure if you’ve seen it but something on the club website now filmoss.
“Latics will hold a minute’s applause ahead of Saturday’s match with Southend United ”

Yeah I’ve seen it. My Brother sent a rather angry email to the club, not sure if it was his actions that prompted some reaction but it did seem rather ( Ahem ) coincidental! ;)
We are top of the ‘Bad Boys’ league though and so maybe some extra discipline does need to be instilled?

Ian made 41 appearances for Southend Utd between 1962 and 1964 and so this Saturday coming would be a perfect, fitting tribute!
