On This Day - Wigan Athletic 7 Scarborough 1

A date to remember - 11^th March 1997.

Wigan Athletic recorded their biggest home win on a wonderful Tuesday evening when Scarborough were put to the sword with a scintillating display as we ran out 7-1 winners at Springfield Park.

The 96/97 season was a truly memorable one for many reasons, we were crowned Champions at the end of the campaign, pipping Fulham to the title on goals scored.

Graeme Jones set the ‘most league goals in a season’ record with 31 crackers and of course we smashed Scarborough with goals from Martinez, Lowe (2), Diaz (2), Lancashire and Biggins, in front of a crowd of 3,094.

The Roberto Martinez goal was an absolute pearler, but don’t take my word for it, have a look at the match highlights.
