Latics Listen 14 | Hatters Chat with Leon Barnett

It's been a busy week on the road for Latics, and that's before we take our trip to Luton Town!

Michael Jacobs and Kal Naismith were spreading Christmas cheer at St. Oswald's School in Ashton-in-Makerfield earlier in the week, whilst defender Charlie Mulgrew helped Wigan Athletic Community Trust to re-launch their Every Player Counts programme on the EFL's Day of Disabilities.

This week, we hear from Crackers at St. Oswald's and Charlie at Wigan Youth Zone, with the pair helping to explain just how important the work of the Community Trust is, not just at this time of the year, but all year round. Steve Sharman also caught up with St. Oswald's PE Lead Helen Grindley, and eight-year-old Matthew, a MASSIVE Latics fan.

Back at base, Dujon Sterling sat down for a chat with Nick Taylor, discussing the defender's progress at Latics since joining on loan from Chelsea, with some great words to say about his skipper Samy Morsy, as well as keeping one eye on his friends back at Stamford Bridge.

And finally... we had a call from Leon Barnett on Tuesday afternoon! The popular defender, who will be at Saturday's game at Kenilworth Road, talks about his time coming through at Luton, his move to West Bromwich Albion, his Latics highlights and what he's been up to following retirement, running his own football academy and dipping his toe into media waters with local commentary for Northampton Town.
