Year 5 Emilia, from Wigan St Andrews Primary School, has had her poem brought to life by @laticsofficial menโs and womenโs players after winning our #PLPrimaryStars Show Racism the Red Card poem competition!
The poem champions inclusivity across our local community, showing that everyone is welcome at Wigan Athletic ๐
