Wigan Athletic boss Chris Hutchings has revealed how he gave up his brickie's job to join Chelsea.

He grinned: "I was a brickie playing part-time for Harrow Borough when Chelsea came in for me.

"The thought has occurred that we may need a brick wall in the goalmouth today."

Today's Chelsea are a very different club to the one full-back Hutchings joined in 1980.

He recalled: "The dog track was still around the pitch and the ticket office was a portakabin.

"The club had fallen on hard times. I still got paid, although not as much as I was earning as a brickie plus what I got for playing part-time for Harrow."
