Wigan Athletic were saddened to learn of the death of former player Cyril Unsworth at the age of 89.
Goalkeeper Cyril made his Latics debut shortly after the Second World War, at the age of just 17 as Latics won 4-1 against Northwich Victoria at Springfield Park in the Cheshire League.
Cyril’s early form for Latics saw the club allow fellow goalkeeper Lionel Littler to leave on a free transfer and he went on to make 16 appearances in total for the club – never losing in his six appearances at Springfield Park.
Cyril, who had trials with Bolton Wanderers, had played for Ross Works in the Sunday School League and also for Kitt Green before playing for Latics.
