Wigan Athletic Ladies & Girls are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Wigan Ladies player Sharon (Fieldhouse) Alva, who passed away in the early hours of Monday morning following a short stay at Wigan Hospice.

Sharon was part of a hugely important generation of female footballers who helped pave the way for the women’s game during the 1980s, at a time when women’s football received very little recognition, support or media coverage.

Fondly known as “The Tank” for her tough, no-nonsense defending, Sharon was a tremendous servant to Wigan Ladies and spent her entire playing career with the club.

Between 1985 and 2004, Sharon made an incredible 352 appearances, scoring 9 league goals and receiving 35 Player of the Match awards — a remarkable record and a testament to the commitment, toughness and loyalty she showed to the club.

Players such as Sharon form an important part of the history and foundations of women’s football in Wigan, and her contribution to the club will always be remembered.

Everyone at Wigan Athletic Ladies & Girls would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Sharon’s family, former teammates, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Rest in peace, Sharon. 💙🤍

Forever part of our club’s history.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH 💫

A fantastic performance from Jess Hodge, who leads by example every single week.

Jess showed real quality throughout the game, combining her work rate, leadership and determination to help the team earn a hard-fought point. Whether in possession or out of it, she set the standard and was a key contributor from first whistle to last.

A well-deserved Player of the Match performance.

👏 Congratulations, Jess!

Jess is still available for player sponsorship too.

FULL TIME | 0-0

A hard-fought point on the road and a clean sheet to take away from the afternoon.

While we leave with mixed feelings, there were plenty of positives to build on. The players showed resilience, commitment and togetherness throughout the game, standing up well to a difficult test.

There are areas we’ll look to improve and moments we’ll reflect on, but the group continues to work hard, learn and move forward together.

Thank you to everyone who travelled and supported the team today. Your backing is always appreciated.
