De Zeeuw, voted Wigan’s greatest-ever player, is flying over a team of ex-Dutch internationals for the big game, which could well double up as a promotion party for Gary Caldwell’s men.

And Brown, who represented Latics in the Premier League, and Kilford, a stalwart of the Springfield Park era, have joined the squad.

The two icons of Latics folklore will be guests of honour at ‘An Audience With...’ on Thursday May 12, where they will lift the lid on their careers in the game as well as their eventful time at Wigan.

It’s an intimate chance to meet two of Latics’ all-time greatest players – and biggest characters – and ask the questions YOU have always wanted answering.

Tickets are just £6 and available from the same outlets, although they are selling fast.
