Andy Plans Another Book

Wigan Robin Park Press Officer Andy Vaughan is appealing for help in researching his latest book.

Andy, who recently completed a novel and previously wrote a book charting the progress of the Robins' first season in the Vodkat League, has teamed up with Wigan Athletic's historian Bernard Ramsdale to write a complete history of Wigan Borough FC.

The book is entitled "Delight, Depression and Despair - 11 seasons of Wigan Borough FC" and will be published in October this year - exactly 80 years after Wigan Borough went out of business and were removed from the Football League.

Andy explained: "The year after Borough went out of business, Wigan's Mayor chaired a public meeting at Queens Hall in Wigan that resulted in the founding of Wigan Athletic FC.  And the rest, as they say, is history.

"We are looking for anybody with any programmes or memorabilia that they would be willing to share with the public, and maybe some of our older fans have memories of watching Boro!

"If anyone thinks they can help, they should contact me at vaughanie58@yahoo.co.uk."
