Career
Wiggett, a left-back, began his career at Graham Taylor"s Lincoln City, making his first-team debut in 1974. He made only a handful of appearances for the Imps, and joined Hartlepool in October 1976, where he made his debut in a Division Four match against Colchester United. During his 18-month spell at Hartlepool, Wiggett played 60 matches for the club, and scored one goal.
On 23 March 1978 Wiggett was killed in a car crash.
He was a passenger in a car driven by his Hartlepool teammate Bob Newton. Two days after the crash, a minute of silence was observed before Hartlepool"s away match against arch-rivals Darlington.
Following the match, Hartlepool manager Billy Horner, himself a former Darlington player, called the offending Darlo fans "a disgrace to their club, their town, and the human race".
