    Wigan only joined the Football League in 1978 and, in 1994, finished fourth from bottom in the lowest tier with average crowds below 2,000. Former Blackburn and Crewe player and local businessman Dave Whelan changed all that. He bought the club in 1995 and 10 years later they were in the Premier League.

    The Latics took to Premier League life easily under Paul Jewell and spent much of their first season challenging for European football. They stayed in the top flight for eight seasons, until relegation to the Championship in 2013, shortly after winning the FA Cup.

    The second season of the Premier League in 1993-94 gave us a top-flight debutant in the shape of Swindon Town, who charged through the Football League during the late 1980s and early 1990s (with a brief delay courtesy of a one-division demotion for financial irregularities in 1990).

    A 4-3 win over Leicester in the play-off finals gave them what would turn out to be their one and only top-flight season, with John Gorman taking the managerial reins after Glenn Hoddle departed for Chelsea. They won only five league matches, conceded a record 100 goals and were relegated. Striker Jan Aage Fjortoft didn't score before Christmas but bagged 13 in his last 17 games. If only the Norwegian had started scoring earlier.

  10. Happy birthdaypublished at 10:14 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Remember John Daly (with a barnet like this how could you forget?)

    The American shot to worldwide fame when he came from nowhere to win the PGA Championship in 1991. And we mean came from nowhere.

    Daly was the ninth reserve for the tournament and, when Nick Price dropped out days before the start of play, only got in because the eight other reserves could not make it to Indiana's Crooked Stick Golf Club in time.

    The reason for mentioning this? Daly, who went on to win another major - the Open, in 1995 - celebrates his 49th birthday today.

    Happy birthday also to former England and Middlesex cricket captain Mike Brearley (73), former Inter Milan and Italy goalkeeper Walter Zenga (55), and Britain's first Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins (35).

  14. 'No plans to retire'published at 09:49 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Frank Williams has no plans to retire from the Formula One team he founded in 1977 and is under no pressure to do so, his daughter has insisted.

    Williams, winners of nine constructors' and seven drivers' titles between 1980 and 1997, yesterday announced a loss of £42.5m in 2014.

    "Frank is team principal. Always has been and always will be until we find him one day face down on the desk," said daughter Claire, the deputy team principal.

    Now 73, Williams has been in a wheelchair since a road accident in southern France in 1986 and spent some time in hospital last year for treatment to a pressure sore.

  15. Eddie Howe: Championship Managerpublished at 09:44 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    On the Match of the Day Facebook page, , externalwe asked have you ever taken a team from the bottom division to the Premier League on a football management game as Eddie Howe has achieved this feat for real. These are some of your best replies:

    Dillyn Featherstone: He clearly saved before every game and loaded it up every time he lost.

    Callum Bannister: I took Woking to the Champions League in six seasons. Stuff like that doesn't get unnoticed.

    Harry Dean: Clearly edited his database and put all his players attributes to 20.

    Andy Metcalfe: Championship Manager? Completed it, mate.

    We're guessing Howe's summer shopping list won't include Julius Aghahowa, Mark Kerr, Ibrahima Bakayoko, Cherno Samba and Kennedy Bakircioglu.

    Floyd Mayweather faces Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on Saturday in a bout expected to be the richest in history.

    "I have to go back to where it all started from. I have to go back to day one. Chopping wood, it's the best for you," said 38-year-old Mayweather.

    Here's a pic of him chopping said wood.
