Doncaster Rovers are the visitors to the DW Stadium this Saturday as the Latics look to build on an excellent first league win of the season away at Portsmouth last weekend.
Down the years we have had more than one classic encounter with Donny, our first ever meeting back in 1965 came in the 1st round of the FA Cup, a 2-2 draw over at Belle Vue saw the South Yorkshire men brought back to Springfield Park for a Wednesday afternoon replay.
Despite the game being played during ‘office hours’ a crowd of 7,113 witnessed a typical Harry Lyon performance, stretchered off in the first half with damaged ankle ligaments, the Latics number 9, following a tot of whisky, a woodbine and a hefty amount of strapping returned to the field of play and fired home a hat-trick to see the Latics through 3-1 and into the 2nd round.
The last meeting between the two clubs was also very memorable, the last game of the 2017/18 season, Will Grigg’s 2nd half goal enough to beat Doncaster and ensure that the Latics were crowned League 1 Champions for the 2nd time in three years.
