Wigan Athletic experienced the sort of pandemonium never before seen at the club on 11 May 2013. Through a late Ben Watson winner, the plucky Premier League strugglers clinched their first ever FA Cup triumph with a 1-0 win over mega-rich Manchester City.
Roberto Martinez and his men, lead by captain Emmerson Boyce, carried out a perfect game plan to quell the threat of Roberto Mancini's charges, and in so doing ensured an FA Cup ghost of the club's devoted owner's past had been exonerated.
Dave Whelan, the club's former long term owner, had broken his leg while playing for Blackburn in their FA Cup final defeat to Wolves in 1960.
