{"product_id":"gigi-romano-against-all-odds-9781923570504","title":"Against All Odds","description":"In May 2013, Wigan Athletic achieved the unthinkable-defeating Manchester City, one of the richest clubs in the world, to lift the FA Cup for the first time in their history. It was a triumph that stunned the football world, a story of tactical courage, unwavering belief, and a group of players who refused to be intimidated by the odds stacked against them.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYet just three days later, joy turned to despair. A defeat to Arsenal sealed Wigan's relegation from the Premier League, ending an eight-year stay in English football's top flight. The contrast between those two matches-arguably the most dramatic week in the club's history-has never been equalled in the modern game.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAgainst All Odds charts the full story of Wigan's remarkable 2012-13 campaign. From the club's non-league roots and rise to the Premier League, through Roberto Martínez's bold footballing philosophy, to a cup run that saw them topple Everton, Millwall, and finally Manchester City at Wembley, this is the definitive account of an unforgettable season. Richly detailed and meticulously researched, it celebrates a side that redefined the meaning of a \"cup team\" and gave its town a memory that will last forever.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53724853338454,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/gigi-romano-against-all-odds-9781923570504","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
