But it became one of the darkest and most revolting chapters in English football. In August 2020, as the season was suspended and then resumed behind closed doors due to Covid-19, the club was placed into administration by its owners, the IEC group – a decision that immediately triggered a \u003cstrong\u003e12-point penalty\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Championship standings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIt was these 12 arbitrarily imposed points that plunged the \u003cstrong\u003eLatics\u003c\/strong\u003e into League One, despite the efforts of a team that fought to the end on the pitch. Players like \u003cstrong\u003eKieffer Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e, a regular goalscorer that season, or goalkeeper \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Marshall\u003c\/strong\u003e, present at the start of the season, had given their all. Institutional injustice overcame sporting achievement. This shirt is their shirt – and their fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe August 2020 administration – the English championship scandal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe IEC group placed Wigan into administration in the middle of the Covid season, automatically triggering the fatal penalty.

It's not a lightweight version designed to be resold cheaply in markets: it's the true cut, the true fabric, the true finishes of the era. \u003cstrong\u003ePuma\u003c\/strong\u003e, a recognized kit manufacturer in English football's lower leagues at that time, delivered solid quality shirts, with materials that age well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis shirt displays a \u003cstrong\u003e9\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e – which in the world of \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e represents an almost impeccable piece. The \u003cstrong\u003e3PL Logistics\u003c\/strong\u003e sponsor flocking is present and legible, the fabric structure holds perfectly. For a shirt that is several years old, this is exactly the level of condition one hopes to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage size guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage football shirt sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e do not correspond to current standards. A shirt sized S in 2019-2020 in Puma ranges for the English market is often more fitted and shorter than a modern S. If you usually wear an M in recent shirts, check the measurements before confirming your purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBasic advice: take your \u003cstrong\u003echest measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e and compare it with the exact measurements of the shirt if available. For a vintage Puma S, expect generally between 48 and 52 cm flat, which is approximately 96-104 cm chest circumference. In doubt?

The \u003cstrong\u003e2019-20 season is particularly significant\u003c\/strong\u003e in the club's history, which gives this shirt strong narrative value.
