About
Jesus Seba
For the uninitiated, Jesus really was a Wiganer.
He didn’t quite turn water into wine, but did manage to hit the headlines in 1995 as a member of Wigan’s ‘Three Amigos’. Jesus Seba, along with Roberto Martinez and Isidro Diaz, made the cross-continental trek from sunny Spain to murky Wigan as part of millionaire businessman and ex-Blackburn footballer Dave Whelan’s masterplan to conquer the Football League.
Though only Martinez proved a long term success, it was a signal of intent from a side who were certainly going places. In the next ten seasons, the club would embark on a scarcely believable meteoric rise to the Premier League, blitzing all in their path and giving the Wigan public something other than The World Pie-Eating Championships to cheer.
In 2010, things came full circle with Roberto Martinez back at the club, this time at the helm. How will Bobby, as he is affectionately known, fare? Find out this and much more right here as we follow Wigan Athletic in the 2011-12 season.
