One of his memorable moments included a dramatic last-minute winner against promotion rivals Preston North End in April 1994.
Although he didn't feature in the play-off final, he celebrated their victory over Stockport County at Wembley Stadium as an unused substitute.
Miraculously, he recovered in time for the following season, defying the odds to contribute nine goals to Wigan's championship-winning campaign in Division Three.
Unfortunately, he battled numerous soft tissue injuries during his four-year stint at Spotland, hindering his ability to secure a regular spot in the team.
After a short hiatus from football, he joined Mark Fell at Ramsbottom United as his assistant and followed him to Lancaster City FC in October 2018.
