PROUD AND PLEASED...
Latics legends Joe Royle and Mike Milligan recall their memories
of playing against Manchester United in the FA Cup Semi Final
at Maine Road in 1990.

"I was so proud and pleased with our performances
in those games because it just took the sting away
from everyone who had said that we could only play
on plastic.
“I was very aware of that and probably a little too
subconscious of it, but our performances on grass
against one of the best teams in the whole country
saw us go toe-to-toe with them and we were never
embarrassed at any level. I was proud."

                                                      them to beat Liverpool the way that they did gave us
