“There’s only one Bob Martinez.” So sang a group of Wigan Athletic supporters on Saturday, after their team had gained a massive three points from the trip to the Hawthorns. Once again they were starting to believe that what the charismatic Spaniard had been saying had been right all along. Who else but Martinez […]
