Hugh Dickson
Hugh arrived at the JJB Stadium from Irish outfit Glentoran after impressing during a short trial period in the pre season of 2000/01.
He is the cousin of Northern Ireland and Manchester United striker David Healey.
He did enough to be given a one-year contract and Latics paid only a ‘nominal fee' for his services because he was an amateur.
He made his first team debut as a late substitute in an FA Cup Second Round Replay against Notts County at Meadow Lane on 19th November 2000 - Wigan lost the game 2-1 after extra-time.
At the end of that season he was given a further one-year contract. However, season 2001/2002 proved to be his last at the club and his contract was paid up by ‘mutual consent’ on 29th October 2001.
He hadn’t played a game during the League campaign and joined Kevin Sharp and Alan McLoughlin who had suffered the same fate four days previously.
He finished the 2001/02 season at Christie Park playing for Morecambe before returning to Ireland.
