In late 2007, Fabio Capello became England Manager, a global recession dawned, and smoking was banned in public spaces, but it wasn't all doom and gloom as an 8-goal thriller played out at the JJB Stadium.
Join Toby and Luke as we rewatch this classic Premier League fixture between Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers. Unforgettable names such as Emile Heskey, Benni McCarthy, and Emmerson Boyce star in this game that Sky Sports called "amazing" and the Guardian described "as if these sides forgot they were playing in the Premier League".
