Ian Breckin: 100th league start for the Latics
It is the big centre backs 100th league start for the Latics since he joined from Chesterfield in 2002.

Breckin initially found it hard to break into the team with Jason de Vos (Now with Ipswich) and Matt Jackson holding the two centre half positions.

However injuries and suspensions allowed the Rotherham born defender into the starting eleven and he has never looked back, becoming a rock at the heart of the Latics defence.

He told the club's official website: "It's great to be on the brink of a nice milestone like this, but to be honest it's not my biggest concern this weekend.
"Beating Reading and reaching the Premiership is the only thing on anyone's mind and that's how it'll stay. If we get what we want on Sunday then maybe after the game I'll reflect on the 100 starts and give myself time to enjoy it."
