Wigan's very own Banksy strikes again after Latics secure Championship future
Little wonder there were celebrations around town. And that included the appearance of another Banksy-style piece of Latics tribute art on a stone bridge support over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and close to Wigan Pier.

Liddell, the club’s record league goalscorer, himself took to social media to express his appreciation of the piece.
