The Wigan Athletic Supporters Mental Health Group are proud to be premiering a 'Virtual Fans Q+A Session' with the Latics' Head of Academy Gregor Rioch.
Gregor provided an excellent insight into his work at the Wigan Athletic academy since he joined back in 2013 and opened up about the difficult challenges that the club has faced over the last 12 months due to the coronavirus pandemic and the club's ongoing administration.
The 45-year-old also gave some inspirational advice to anyone who may be struggling with their own mental wellbeing.
