Colin Greenall, born Wigan, December 30 1963, was a Professional footballer who made over 600 Football League appearances between 1981 and 1999. Starting his career at Blackpool as an apprentice, Greenall had spells at Gillingham, Oxford United, Bury, Preston North End, Chester City and Lincoln City before finishing his career at Wigan Athletic.
It was at Wigan where he, as captain, guided his team to Third Division success as an ever-present in 1997. After coming out of retirement, Greenall made his Wembley debut in 1999, where Wigan beat Millwall 1-0 to win the Auto Windscreens Shield.
In 2001, Greenall became caretaker manager of Wigan Athletic for six games, losing only once during this period.
