Chris Kirkland vows to fight on
CHRIS KIRKLAND is refusing to throw in the towel at Wigan.
Former England goalkeeper Kirkland, 30, has not played a league game since January after falling behind Ali Al Habsi in the pecking order.
He did not even make the bench for the Carling Cup defeat against Crystal Palace in midweek. But boss Roberto Martinez is still a fan of his goalkeeper, saying: “He has a fighting mentality and wants to be No1 – that’s why I want him in the dressing room. If he did accept being second choice it would be time to move.”
