One minute's applause

Latics will be holding one minute's applause before tomorrow's FA Cup with Budweiser, second-round match against Mansfield Town to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela who died yesterday at the age of 95.

The Football League has asked its member clubs to pay tribute to Mandela at this weekend's games.

Football League Chief Executive Shaun Harvey said: "Nelson Mandela was an inspiration to millions and his determination, courage and forgiveness marked him out as a truly great man.

"We are delighted to give clubs and their supporters the opportunity to pay their own tributes to Nelson Mandela and recognise his extraordinary legacy."
