Don't buy a program mate but I know we were mentioned in the paper by him recently.

I could not help but chuckle at the decision of a couple from Wigan to name their child 'Latics' as reported in this weeks Observor.

I just hope the poor girl can forgive her parents one day!

But i just wondered if their are any Wigan supporters who would consider (or already have done) naming their child after a Wigan player or something to do with the club?

Are you joking? That is just awful! Latics? I actually cant believe that

That surely is child abuse



Why would someone do this???

Hmmm I have to admit to being close. Connor was due on the day of the GF when we played Bradford. I said if we won he would have the middle name "Farrell".

We lost lol.

Reminds me of a classics RIPPING YARNS episode, in which a footy fanatic named his son 'Barnstonworth United'. The guy was supposed to be a prat - and rightly so.

Imagine being a pup from these 2 beautys. Theres nowt down for this kid.

Jeezz and the bitter blues have the cheek to call us 'Klumps' 'Fatties'

I thought it was the kid's grandparents

35 my ar$e!!

Chavtastic.

Thats shocking! Poor kid. They will get bullied at school and everything.

I hope they realise latics will soon be a 3rd tier team again.

I assumed the 35 was her IQ.

This poor child is just going to get bullied. parents need their heads testing

Maybe the kid is looking around to see if anyone else thinks the name is stupid

All I can say is best of luck to the girl..... she's gonna need it

Would laugh if she grew up to be a fan of one of the scouse/manc sides.

with parents like that there is no way of that happpening. she will be brain washed from an early age poor bugger

Poor little bleeder.

I thought the powers that be could stop people giving their kids ridiculous names like that?

Stupid, stupid people. They've condemned their daughter to a life of abuse, pss-taking and general unhappiness, certainly for the next 18 years or so. Well done you utter fools.

Hang on a minute...........

"Sharon's obsession with the team began when she attended an open day eight years ago.

She said: "Keith asked me if I wanted to go to the stadium and take the kids and I saw a certain player (former goalkeeper John Filan) and that was it."

So the lovely Sharon has taken 27 years to discover her love for the mighty tics? I note she had kids previous to magical meeting with Mr Filan. You can only imagine what other names she got for these poor little buggers..Everton Jones..ManU Jones...Liverpool Jones?

Proof, if it was ever needed, that there should be entrance criteria to the gene pool.............

If only that was so, poor kid has no chance already

If ever there was a need for 'pro bono' support from a top-level lawyer it's now.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Jones? My name's Chantelle and I'm a researcher for The Jeremy Kyle Show; we were just wondering if you'd be interested in a residency?"

A mate of mine called his son Nathan after Nathan Ellington.

I was only saying to Big Mike the other week I could give my kids the initials WAFC or WRLFC but i'd never actually do it.

Is it true you were named after former Stoke City player Terry Conroy ?
