Wigan Athletic a Programme History

If you're serious about Wigan Athletic FC's football history, Stuart Latham's Wigan Athletic: A Programme History is the book you've been waiting for. Published in May 2026, this 283-page softcover takes you deep inside the Latics' story — not through stats alone, but through the rare matchday programmes, vivid imagery, and club records that most fans have never had the chance to see. It's the kind of English football history book that earns a permanent spot on the shelf.
Latham's research goes well beyond the usual territory. The book traces Wigan Athletic's journey from its earliest days through to the present, covering the full sweep of the club's managerial history, honours, and the defining moments that shaped the Latics' identity in the English Football League. Each chapter builds on the last, making it as readable as it is informative — a rare thing for football memorabilia books of this depth.
What sets this apart from other soccer history books is the attention paid to the programmes themselves. Every official cover is documented, turning the book into an unrivalled visual archive for programme collectors and football memorabilia enthusiasts alike. The stories behind the printers, designers, and editors who created each edition add a layer of history that no other Wigan Athletic book has explored.
Whether you're a lifelong Latics supporter or a collector of English soccer heritage, Wigan Athletic: A Programme History by Stuart Latham is a must-have. It captures the heartbeat of the club — the matchday atmosphere, the promotion battles, the legendary seasons — and preserves it for generations to come. Available now from soccerbooks.co.uk.
