Win A Callum Wright Match Worn Shirt - Wigan Athletic

 Win A Callum Wright Match Worn Shirt

Callum Wright, Wigan Athletic Player of the Season, Player’s Player, Away Player and the PWU Podcast Player of the Season.

The Latics number 8 smashed the lot during the last campaign with a high level of consistency that saw the roving midfielder bag 8 goals and make 7 assists.

A firm fans favourite, the likeable scouser connected with the Latics fraternity and his popularity resulted in not only the end of season awards, but also countless ‘Man of the Match’ accolades throughout his time at the club.

I have been lucky enough to have been given a ‘Wright 8’ match worn shirt to raffle for charity, that charity is Derian House Children’s Hospice.

Derian House is now over 30 years old and provides free care via:

Overnight stays

Day care

Holidays in on site lodges

Wraparound care for the whole family

Preparation for end of life

Care after end of life

It costs £6m per year to run with under 30% of funding needed coming from government.

Our family had personal experience of Care After End of Life when our Tilly sadly passed away on 20 March this year. The comfort that this care brought at the darkest of times was immeasurable, it helped to ease the pain of the hardest period of our lives and brought some peace to a devastated family.

As a family we have committed to giving something back in terms of fundraising to ensure that the support is always there for other families that may be affected and also by raising awareness of the work carried out by Derian House and what they need for that to continue.

The raffle of the Callum Wright match worn shirt is part of a series of events we have planned.

To take part in the raffle please follow the link here to go to the Just Giving page. It is £5 per entry and you MUST leave your name in the comments section so that you can be entered into the draw.

The draw will take place on Friday 26 June 2026, in Whelan’s Sports Bar at the Brick Community Stadium at a Race Night for Derian House event being held that evening.

Thank You for reading
