glass today, no doubt a few fans will

of 60!

Since their inception into the Premier League in 2005, Wigan have been what
Closet Man U fan?
could be described as a selling club. Even before the start of the '05/06 season, their top
scorer from their promotion campaign Nathan Ellington left to join West Brom. Over the years, stars
like Pascal Chimbonda, Wilson Palacios and Jimmy Bullard have left the JJB Stadium (soon to be

First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my "real life" because

himself with a few football related skills/pranks [.

giant will never be forgotten by those who had the honour of watching and being in his presence.
The Cameroon favourite was a rarity in modern day football - a loveable, charming and compassionate
character who cared dearly for his nation and worked hard to ensure that life was made better for
many in his homeland.
