The Road from Wigan Pier: Wigan Athletic's incredible rise from Non-League to The Premiership
Wigan Athletic FC can trace its roots back at least as far as the famous rugby league club with which it today shares an uneasy truce and a stadium. How it got there is an extraordinary tale. But for the sheer grit and determination of a handful of people in its early history it's probable that no football would be played in the town today. This is not just a story of a small town football club struggling for years in the lower reaches of the League before being rescued by a local multi-millionaire it is considerably more complex. It is a story of dreams and disasters, of faltering attempts to establish a foothold for the game in the town finally emerging triumphant and reaching the top tier of English football. Now the hard work really begins.
Let's Hang on: Mudhuts, Bets and Beers on the Road to Division One with Wigan Athletic
After ten months, 67 games and several thousand miles in what was an historic season for Wigan Athletic, it seemed only natural to Martin Tarbuck to record it all for posterity's sake. The Four Seasons' hit "Let's Hang On" became the systematic anthem of Wigan Athletic fans throughout the 2002-03 season due to the team's ability to score a goal then defend their lead stoutly until the final whistle. In fact, Wigan Athletic and its supporters did more "hanging on" that season than the occupants of the monkey house at Chester Zoo. Seen through the eyes of one of the club's staunchest supporters, "Let's Hang On" tells the story of the promotion-winning season. As well as cataloguing the action from an unforgettable campaign, it gives a flavour of the fun, passion and pressure that fans of the club experienced along the way.

The Who's Who of Wigan Athletic: In the Football League - 1978-2004 (Whos Who of)
Who's Who Wigan Athletic looks at the varied experiences of the Latics through the club's lifeblood - the players. Some 283 Wigan players have taken to the field in league matches since the club's admission to the Football League in 1978; some great, some good, and some others. Yet they all have one thing in common - they have all pulled on a Latics shirt to represent this most friendly of clubs. Through readable biographies and career statistics, Dean Hayes looks at the contribution that players and managers have made to the fortunes of Wigan Athletic in recent years. Illustrated throughout with high quality photographs, both portraits and action shots, the book gives a fascinating insight into the recent history of the Latics.
