“I am devastated, as is my fiancee,” McArthur said in a statement. “The medal is priceless for me and this is a real blow to us to happen just before the wedding. They ripped through the house and took virtually everything of value. – it is very upsetting.
The police are asking for anyone with information to contact them as they continue their search.
Wigan were a terrible team in 2012-13 and were relegated from the Premier League, but they somehow managed to make the FA Cup final. Faced against Manchester City, they were given no chance of winning, but Ben Watson scored in stoppage time to pull off one of the tournament's biggest upsets ever.
Now McArthur’s reward for his team’s amazing run has been stolen.
