Praise for record breaker Boyce

26 February 2012 07:12
Emmerson Boyce smashed through 146 Premier League appearances to overtake Paul Scharner at number one for Premier League appearances for the Latics.

The consistent Barbadian also put in an impressive display from right full back and was subject to special words of praise from his manager Roberto Martinez.

He told the club's official website: "Emmerson deserves that record, it's no coincidence he's reached such a landmark. It's a huge achievement for someone who is Wigan Athletic through and through and someone who has experienced so much with the club."He's a great defender and in one-v-one situations has a real sense of responsibility and experience to come out on top."

Boyce is certainly a fans favourite within the present set up and his attitude every week is a perfect example to youngsters. A true ambassador for both Wigan Athletic and football.
