We're back! Latics Latics has returned and we're kick starting the season by chatting to YOU, our loyal supporters!A Latics supporter since the 1970s and former steward, George Chilvers was the first supporter we called via Zoom. A season card holder who goes to matches with his son Stefan and grandson Ben, George isn't just a long-serving fan of the club, but also forms a key part in bringing our history to life in full colour.George's skill in colourising black and white images, both Latics and wider football and sport, breathes new life and character into some of our oldest documented images - a fascinating subject which can be seen in all of its glory on his Facebook page - Colourised by George - with particular focus on his Wigan Athletic images a must see.As well as giving us an insight into his passion away from the pitch, George relays his story of supporting Latics, including how the community spirit and sense of family still captures his imagination to this day.To see each episode out, we'll also be asking each supporter some 'Top Threes' - finding out about favourite players, managers, kits, matches and fellow supporters met through the love of Latics.Catch this week's episode via SoundCloud above, or find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Buzzsprout by searching for Latics Listen.If you'd like to feature on a future episode of the podcast or have someone to nominate for a chat with our team, get in touch by emailing laticslisten@wiganathletic.com
