Don arrived at Springfield Park from Runcorn in March 1989, a couple of days after the sad dismissal of manager Ray Mathias. He spurned the chance to play semi professionally for England to try his luck in the Football League and he soon became a cult hero at Latics. He made his Latics League debut on 24th March 1989 against Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium in a game that resulted in a 1-2 defeat. He spent three seasons at the club during which he made 62+12 League appearances and scored 15 League goals before moving to Rotherham United in August 1991.
