Giving Football Back to 

Small Business 

At eBay, we know small business and 

football clubs used to be like chips and 

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match 

made in community heaven. 

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring 

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs 

which decades later are still prospering. 

But nowadays, you’d think it was all 

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues 

and mega sponsors, detached from the 

humble origins of our historic clubs. 

That’s why eBay are proud to support 

300,000 small businesses who help 

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be 

donating our advertising space to a lot 

of these businesses – on match day 

hoardings, around grounds and beyond – 

throughout the coming season, to ensure 

they can continue to thrive in our local 

communities. So, join us in giving your 

support to Small Business Power, because 

today, they need us more than ever.

The Head Coach 

KEITH CURLE 

The win at Rochdale last weekend meant so much to everyone connected 

with the club and as a squad we want to make sure there are more moments 

like that to come during the months ahead. 

It has been a tough start to the 

season for a variety of reasons but the 

emotions we saw at Spotland served as 

a reminder of why we all love following 

our team and the joys that a special win 

can bring. 

I was enormously proud of our 

performance last Saturday and 

the players deserve huge credit for 

overcoming the recent difficulties 

to achieve the result with such a 

determined, well-drilled display. 

Derby games always require a big show 

of character and our battling qualities 

out on the pitch, allied with the passion 

in the away stand, meant we saw 

everything that is good about being 

associated with Oldham Athletic. 

We always knew we would have to 

spend periods of the game without the 

ball but our intention was to make sure 

we capitalised on our play in key areas 

of the pitch. 

To that end, we could not have asked for 

a better winning goal, as Davis Keillor- 

Dunn showed his capabilities with a 

goal of real class midway through the 

second half. 

Like most players in the squad, Davis has 

taken time to find his feet this campaign 

but his natural talent is something we 

all saw last year and I am confident he 

will excel once again after opening his 

account for the season. 

Davis will be a key player for us this 

campaign, as will Harrison McGahey, 

who showed all the qualities I expected 

on his debut in the centre of the 

defence. It is unfortunate that Harrison’s 

start to life in an Oldham shirt had been 

delayed but his performance last week 

was a crucial feature in our resolute 

showing as a team. 

On his first league start, Benny Couto 

also impressed, displaying a maturity 

that belied his 18 years, and having been 

a great addition to the first team squad 

in recent weeks, I am very excited about 

what he has got to offer going forward. 

With the win at Rochdale coming on 

the back of a draw against Hartepool, 

it is vital we now look to build on our 

last two league results. Today will be a 

difficult test against an upwardly mobile 

Harrogate, who have enjoyed an excellent 

start to the season and have won many 

admirers since their promotion to Sky Bet 

League Two last year. 

We know there is still a lot of work to do 

as we look to climb the table but the last 

week has given us all a taste of what 

could potentially lie ahead. As a group, 

we are committed to making sure things 

change for the better and with your 

continued support I am sure we have got 

what it takes to properly kick on. 

Enjoy the game! 

Keith

The Big Interview - Davis Keillor-Dunn 

After his memorable winner in the derby last weekend, things are 

looking good for Latics’ gifted attacking talent… 

T 

here is something about a fixture 

against local opposition that 

brings out the best in Davis 

Keillor-Dunn. 

If the stoppage-time goal he scored in 

the victory over Salford last season was 

special, then his match-winning exploits 

at Rochdale seven days ago elevated his 

status amongst Latics fans to an even 

higher level. 

With a jink inside the area, a drop of 

his left shoulder and a beautifullyplaced 

curling finish, Keillor-Dunn sent 

the sizeable travelling contingent into 

delirium at Spotland, earning Latics a win 

that was as emotional as it was muchneeded. 

Passions ran high at Rochdale last 

weekend and so did the levels of 

commitment. With half an hour still to 

play after Keillor-Dunn’s strike, the visitors 

dug deep to see out a battling win. 

The goal against Salford last season 

was one of 11 scored by the 23-year-old 

during his debut campaign in an Oldham 

shirt. Having demonstrated a natural 

attacking talent and flair for creativity, it 

hasn’t all gone Keillor-Dunn’s way so far 

this season, but with a fine goal in the 

midweek Papa John’s Trophy tie against 

Leeds United U21 too, he is now finding 

his groove again. 

“AS SOON IT LEFT MY 

FOOT, I THOUGHT TO 

MYSELF THERE WAS NO 

WAY THE ‘KEEPER WAS 

GETTING TO IT AND 

THE FEELING WHEN IT 

HIT THE NET WAS VERY 

SPECIAL” 

“The goal at Rochdale meant a lot to me 

on a personal level but we really needed 

the three points as a team and I’m 

pleased for the boys more than anything 

that it got us the win,” he says. 

“The start of the season has been really 

difficult for us all. We know there have 

been different factors but we’ve had to 

face a lot with so many players being 

unavailable and circumstances going 

against us, so the result was vitally 

important. 

“Any goal in a derby game is special 

and this was right up there. I scored a 

similar goal earlier in my career and the 

first thing that came into my mind was 

to try and replicate it. 

“I took a touch and brought the 

ball inside as the angle opened up. 

I managed to get past one of their 

defenders and then I just tried to place 



the shot. As soon it left my foot, I 

thought to myself there was no way the 

‘keeper was getting to it and the feeling 

when it hit the net was very special. 

“Local games always mean more to the 

players and fans, so you want to do well 

in those matches. Scoring an important 

goal in a big match is something you really 

cherish because of the passion on show. 

“Of course it’s on a par with the goal 

against Salford. That was in the last 

minute, but this was similar in that the 

game was feisty, played at a high-tempo, 

and to score in front of the fans this time 

was brilliant. 

“We all enjoyed the celebrations on the 

pitch with the supporters at full-time. 

We’ve seen this season that the fans are 

important in every game but the intensity 

of the crowd makes a derby game. 

“With our fans having the whole of one 

side at Rochdale you could really feel 

them behind you, willing us on and giving 

you to get extra yard to get up the pitch. 

They really helped us last weekend and 

as players we want to experience that 

on a more regular basis.” 

Keillor-Dunn’s performances last season 

were among the brightest aspects of 

the campaign for Latics. As well as 

his goals tally, he also contributed ten 

assists, gaining a reputation as one of the 

brightest prospects in Sky Bet League Two. 

An avid Sunderland fan who played in 

the youth set-up at his hometown club 

as well as at Middlesbrough, he joined 

Latics last summer from Wrexham after 

time in Scotland with Ross County and 

Falkirk. 

As for all Latics players, the opening 

weeks of the season have been tough 

but rediscovering his goalscoring touch 

in compelling fashion over the last week 

is timely a reminder of the ability Keillor- 

Dunn possesses. 

“The boys had given me a bit of stick 

with not scoring yet this season, so I said 

to them after Rochdale that I owed them 

a goal like that,” adds the attacking 

midfielder, who notched his 50th Oldham 

appearance in the first game of the 

current campaign. 

“Maybe I’ve been trying a bit too hard 

and when things play on your mind you 

can sometimes hold onto the ball for too 


“I’VE HAD TO KEEP 

MY FOCUS, EVERYONE 

AROUND ME HAS BEEN 

VERY SUPPORTIVE AND 

I KNOW I’M CAPABLE OF 

DOING THINGS LIKE THAT” 

long or not release it when you should. 

We’re still early in the season and it’s 

now about getting going properly. 

“I’ve had to keep my focus, everyone 

around me has been very supportive and 

I know that I’m capable of doing things 

like that. 

“I was also pleased with my strike 

against Leeds in the week and I now feel 

like I’m getting back towards the levels I 

want to be. 

“I really enjoyed my first season as an 

Oldham player. I had to make the step 

up in quality but I feel like I adjusted my 

game, I’m still developing as a player and 

I set high standards for myself. 

“As an attacking player, nothing beats 

scoring a winning goal or being involved 

in a moment that helps us get a result. I 

felt I improved as a player massively last 

season and the aim this year is to push 

on again.” 

The full-time scenes at Spotland were 

not only borne out of the passion 

of a derby atmosphere, they also 

represented a collective sense of relief 

after a trying start to the campaign. 

While there has been a determination to 

reverse the slide after falling to the foot 

of the League Two table, the number of 

absentees has left Keith Curle’s squad 

stretched to the limit. 

From that adversity has come strength, 

and with a number of players now 

making their way back into contention, 

Keillor-Dunn is confident that results will 

continue to turn. 

“The last few weeks have been very 

difficult,” he says. “Results have been 

disappointing but Keith has maintained 

all along that things will get better and 

we’ve just got to get on with it. He said 

before the Rochdale game that we had 

to give it our all because that’s what the 

fans wanted to see. 

“It’s probably a cliché but the squad 

we’ve got are a genuinely a great bunch 

of lads. Being a team is all about sticking 

together and the tough times we’ve been 

through make the wins like last week 

even more special. We’ve tried to keep 

our confidence in saying that results will 

come and now we’ve got a good win it’s 

about building that momentum. 

“The clean sheet last week said 

everything about our performance. We 

all agreed afterwards that we were 

much more organised and resolute but 

Keith’s philosophy has always been to try 

and encourage us to play and the lads 

are really buying in to what we’ve been 

working on.” 

“We know our job now is to put back-toback 

wins together. We’ve got a talented 

squad and we shouldn’t be near the 

bottom of the table but it’s down to us to 

prove that on the pitch.”

STEVE COLLIS ON PREPARING FOR PENALTIES 

The goalkeeper coach 

tells the story behind 

Latics’ two successful 

shoot-outs in the 

opening weeks of the 

campaign… 

A 

s Boundary Park 

prepared itself for a 

second penalty shootout 

of the season in the recent 

Carabao Cup tie against 

Accrington, one man was 

perhaps more confident of the 

outcome than most. 

Having plotted Latics’ progress 

past Tranmere on spot-kicks 

in the previous round, Steve 

Collis was about to witness 

his successful penalty formula 

come to fruition once again. 

Out on the pitch the 

goalkeeper may have changed, 

but happily for Oldham the 

outcome remained the same. 

Just as Danny Rogers had 

done a fortnight earlier, Laurie 

Walker prevailed by saving 

two penalties to ensure Latics 

went through, setting up a 

Third Round tie against Premier 

League opposition in Brentford. 

Walker, on an emergency 

loan from MK Dons due to 

the neck injury sustained by 

Rogers, was lauded as the 

hero, just as his fellow ‘keeper 

had been in the earlier round, 

but the shoot-out success 

owed much to Collis’ work 

behind the scenes. 

It was in his post-match 

interview following the tie 

against Tranmere that Rogers 

first offered an insight into 

Latics’ preparations for spotkicks, 

crediting Collis with the 

work done ahead of the fixture 

to ensure the goalkeeper was 

ready for the eventuality of 

penalties. 

Shoot-outs are traditionally 

seen as a lottery but, like 

anything now in football, the 

level of work involved means 

it is more of an art form which 

players must try to master. 

“Goalkeepers will practice 

penalties with the rest of 

the squad but it’s the work 

we do together that gives 

us the detail that can make 

the difference in a shootout,” 

says Collis, who joined 

Latics as goalkeeper coach 

in the summer after a year at 

Carlisle. 

“I like to work with the ‘keepers 

to give them little bits of 


“ANALYSIS IS A KEY PART 

OF MAKING SURE WE’RE 

WELL-PREPARED FOR EVERY 

GAME BUT IN A SHOOT- 

OUT THE IMPORTANCE IS 

HIGHLIGHTED” 

information, tips and anything 

that I feel that can help them 

when that occasion happens. 

Often with penalty shoot-outs, 

the margins are so fine that 

any small advantage can really 

make a big gain, and if one 

penalty save wins you a tie 

then we’ve all done our job. 

“No matter what level you’re 

at, in the Champions League, 

World Cups, European 

Championships, penalty 

shoot-outs win you games. 

It’s something that I’ve tried 

to work hard on, because I 

feel like it’s so important to be 

successful. 

“There are certain things we 

do that I’d want to keep to 

ourselves but especially it’s 

about attention to detail, 

doing your research on the 

opposition and knowing which 

players you are likely to face in 

those scenarios. 

“Things we work on have 

already paid off from how we 

digest the information quickly 

to the way we utilise our 

surroundings to our advantage. 

A penalty shoot-out is 

always a good situation for a 

goalkeeper because they don’t 

often get the limelight and the 

expectation is usually on the 

opposing player. 

“I must give credit to 

Jamie[Powell], our analyst, 

who prepares a lot of things 

for us. He obviously works with 

the whole of the squad but 

the things he does with the 

goalkeepers helps us identify 

trends and patterns. Analysis 

is a key part of making sure 

we’re well-prepared for every 



“A LOT OF GOALKEEPERS 

ARE ONLY DIFFERENT 

IN TERMS OF BEING A 

PROFESSIONAL IN THAT 

THEY KNOW THEY NEED TO 

WORK HARDER” 

game but in a shoot-out the 

importance is highlighted. 

“Danny was in goal for the first 

game against Tranmere and 

then Laurie came in, so from 

the point of view of a ‘keeper, 

it’s about working closely with 

them to make sure they’ve got 

all the information, as well as 

being able to read the scenario 

as it unfolds.” 

After a playing career that 

included time at Yeovil, 

Southend and Crewe, Collis 

hung up his gloves in 2018, 

ending his playing days at 

Rochdale, whilst also starting 

his coaching career. 

The role of a goalkeeping 

coach is a niche at any club, in 

the same way that life between 

the sticks is different from any 

other position on the pitch. 

There are certain 

characteristics needed to 

make a successful goalkeeper 

but Collis maintains it is 

preparation that often sets 

them apart. 

“You hear it all the time that 

‘keepers are a different breed 

but there’s nothing really 

different about us on the face 

of it,” he adds 

“I think you’ll probably find a lot 

of goalkeepers are only different 

in terms of being a professional 

in that they know they need to 

work harder when you look at 

how important the role is to a 

team and the way things can 

change so quickly in terms of 

competition for the spot. 

“I know from my playing 

time when I was growing up 

I wanted to be different but 

had the desire to learn and 

fully appreciate the role of a 

goalkeeper. There’s only one 

position on the pitch for us 

where you can use your hands 

and I wanted to be different in 

that sense. I think most people 

now appreciate the role a 

goalkeeper. 

“The job of a ‘keeper has 

definitely changed in terms 

of developing an all-round 

game. Like every footballer, 

goalkeepers in the modern 

game are more athletic, they’ve 

got to be able to use their feet 

and have a good understanding 

of the whole game.” 

After a delayed start to his 

Latics career, Jayson Leutwiler 

is the current occupant of the 

no. 1 jersey, making his debut 

in the win at Sutton before 

establishing himself in the role. 

With Rogers currently working 

his way back from injury, Walker 

having returned to MK Dons 

and youth team ‘keeper Kacper 

Danielewicz now part of the 

squad, Collis believes that the 

recent consistency in availability 

and selection is starting to 

translate into results. 

The win at Rochdale last 

weekend saw Latics keep a 

second consecutive clean 

sheet in Sky Bet League Two, 

bearing testament to the 

continued hard work on the 

training ground. 

“The goalkeepers we’ve got 

work really well together and 

after overcoming a few tricky 

months we’re progressing 

well,” adds Collis. 

“Danny was unfortunate with 

his injury because he was in 

good form at the time but 

Jayson has come in and is now 

starting to show his qualities. 

“Jayson is the experienced 

goalkeeper and has 

played at a high level in 

the Championship, on the 

international stage with 

Canada and having him around 

will be huge for us as the 

season goes on. 

“When we’re training he can 

give his opinions on things 

and that helps Kacper in his 

development. We’ve now 

started to get Danny back into 

some training and I’m looking 

forward to how they all work 

together properly. 

“We’ve clearly conceded more 

goals than we’d have liked but 

the recent clean sheets are a 

step in the right direction and 

I’m confident we’ll continue 

to see the goalkeeping 

department develop during the 

season.”

HARROGATE 

TOWN 

Anyone who thought Harrogate 

Town were likely to suffer from 

second season syndrome in Sky 

Bet League Two would have 

been widely mistaken. 

Having made light work of 

their debut season in the EFL 

last campaign by securing 

survival without too much of 

a fuss, they appear well set to 

kick on again this year. 

The current season started in 

dream fashion, Town winning 

their first three matches and 

picking up victories in four of 

their first five games. In fact, 

despite failing to win in their 

last four, they have only lost 

once all season in the league 

and now appear a force to be 

reckoned with. 

The club, heralding from the 

spa town in North Yorkshire, 

have enjoyed a steady rise up 

the leagues in recent years 

and their current outlook owed 

much to the management of 

Simon Weaver. The 43-year-old 

has been in charge of Town 

since 2009, making him the 

longest-serving manager in 

League football. 

The club have kept a strong 

core from the side that won 

promotion via the National 

League play-offs two seasons 

ago and this has helped them 

maintain stability and an 

important team spirit. 

Josh Falkingham is the captain 

and a stalwart in midfield who 

has been a key man at the 

heart of the team since joining 

their National League North 

days in 2017. George Thomson 

is a creative talent on the right 

wing while Jack Muldoon is 

another star who netted 14 

times for Town last season. 

This summer saw Luke 

Armstrong arrive from Salford 

to bolster the attack and he has 

hit the ground running, netting 

six in appearances across all 

competitions already. 

Weaver usually sets his team 

up in a 4-4-2 with a high press 

backed up by huge energy 

from his combative midfield. 

They are a tough team to 

crack and have started the 

season in excellent fashion - 

certainly a team to watch as 

the campaign progresses. 

James Richards, D3D4 Football 


In The Dugout... 

SIMON 

WEAVER 

In charge at Wetherby Road 

since May 2009, Weaver has 

guided Harrogate from the 

sixth tier to the EFL for the first 

time ever. 

Weaver enjoyed a 13-year 

playing career, starting 

at boyhood club Sheffield 

Wednesday in 1996. Whilst with 

the Owls, he had a short loan 

spell with Doncaster Rovers 

before leaving permanently to 

join Ilkeston Town. 

A defender by trade, he 

went onto play for a total 

of 15 clubs throughout his 

career, including Lincoln City, 

Macclesfield Town and York 

City. In total, Weaves notched 

268 first-team appearances 

before hanging up his boots 

in 2009. 

Weaver took charge of 

Harrogate, initially in a playermanager 

capacity and has 

overseen two promotions. 

Interestingly, after Weaver 

became the manager of 

the club his father, Irving 

Weaver, became the chairman 

and together they have 

masterminded the recent 

success. 

In 2018, Weaver Jnr guided 

Town to promotion from the 

National League North via the 

play-offs, as they reached

the feat, securing a 3-1 win 

over Notts County at Wembley

After successfully

JACK MULDOON 

STRIKER 

Age: 32 

[ The Main Threat ] 

The experienced front 

man has been at 

Harrogate for three 

years following a 

successful time in front 

of goal with AFC Fylde. 

Muldoon spent his youth 

career with Scunthorpe 

and Doncaster before 

venturing into the nonleague 

game, making his 

name at Worksop, where 

he notched 21 goals in a 

single season. 

Rochdale swooped in for 

a deal for the attacker 

but with chances limited 

he was sent out on loan 

to Halifax before leaving 

to join Lincoln. 

Muldoon played a key 

part in the Imps’ famous 

FA Cup run which saw 

them reach the quarter 

final against Arsenal. 

In 2017, he joined Fylde 

and in his one season 

with the Coasters he 

netted ten goals in 47 

games. 

Last season, Muldoon 

impressed in his first 

season back in the EFL, 

finding the back of the 

net on 14 occasions. 

The Key Three 

#1 MARK OXLEY 

The former Latics goalkeeper 

signed for Harrogate in 

summer after suffering 

relegation with Southend 

United last season. 

Born in Sheffield, HE began 

his career with Rotherham 

before joining Hull for a deal 

worth £150,000 in 2008. Whilst 

at the Tigers, he spent loan 

spells with a number of clubs 

including Latics. 

During his time at Boundary Park, 

he made 43 appearances in all 

competitions under Lee Johnson 

and started between the sticks 

at Anfield in the FA Cup. 

Oxley joined Hibs permanently 

in June 2015 and became the 

first goalkeeper to score for 

the Scottish side since Andy 

Goram in 1988. 

Whilst at Southend, he won 

Player of the Season and 

Players’ Player of the Season. 

#23 RORY MCARDLE 

The 34-year-old defender 

brings with him a wealth of 

experience after joining from 

fellow League Two side Exeter 

in the summer. 

McArdle began his career at 

Sheffield Wednesday before 

representing Rochdale 120 

times. He then moved to 

Scotland to sign for Aberdeen 

and enjoyed a two-year spell 

at the club. 

The defender arrived back 

in England with Bradford in 

2012. As part of the side that 

reached the League Cup 

final, he went on to make 231 

appearances and score 15 

goals in a five-year period with 

the Bantams. 

Last campaign, the powerful 

centre-back struggled for 

game time at Exeter, featuring 

just 16 times throughout the 

year, before the switch back to 

Yorkshire. 

#4 JOSH FALKINGHAM 

A club legend in every sense, 

he arrived at Wetherby Road 

in July 2017 following a short 

spell at Darlington. 

Born in Leeds, the 31-yearold 

started his career with 

his hometown club before 

time north of the border with 

St Johnstone and Arbroath, 

where he spent two years and 

helped secure promotion to 

the Scottish Second Division. 

The following season, the 

midfielder was named in the 

PFA Scotland’s Division Two 

Team of the Year. 

Falkingham then moved to 

Dunfermline in 2012 and, 

playing 153 times and scoring 

14 goals. 

The defensive midfielder 

has established himself as 

a firm fan favourite for his 

performances in a yellow shirt, 

culminating in leading the club 

into the EFL.

The formation of 

Harrogate Town was 

delayed by the outbreak 

of the First World War. Just 

two hours before their first ever 

game was due to begin against 

Bishop Auckland, a telegram was 

received by Town’s supposed 

opposition stating that they 

would not be turning up to the 

fixture because most of the team 

had joined the regiments. 

4 

The club’s recent 

success owes 

much to the 

exploits of the 

Weaver family. Whilst 

manager Simon has 

been in charge since 

2009, overseeing the 

promotions that have 

ultimately led to the EFL, 

his involvement predates 

that of his father, who 

has been owner since 

2011. The growth of the 

club since their arrival has 

been astonishing; in the 

first season with Irving at 

the helm, they sold just 

seven season tickets. 

3 

Harrogate as a club 

are also known by two 

nicknames. Commonly 

referred to as ‘Town’, they 

also have the moniker of ‘The 

Sulphurites’. This is due to the 

town’s famous sulphar springs, 

which saw its development in the 

16th century. With its grand houses 

and expansive parkland, Harrogate 

traditionally had the reputation 

for being one of Europe’s most 

desirable spa resorts. 

2 

The first version of 

the football club 

disbanded in 1932 

and were replaced 

by ‘Harrogate Hotspurs.’ 

However, the change in name 

would not last long and once 

football returned following 

the war, the club changed 

their name to Harrogate Town, 

joining the West Yorkshire 

Association League. 

5 

Such is the rapid 

progress made 

at Town, the club 

weren’t quite 

ready for the step up into 

the EFL and were forced 

to play the early part of 

last season at Doncaster’s 

Keepmoat Stadium. Whilst 

in non-league, they had 

used an artificial 3G turf 

which was not permitted 

by EFL rules, meaning a 

grass pitch had to be 

installed before they could 

bring League football to 

the town. 


RETRO LATICS 

OUR LATEST LOOK AT RETRO LATICS KITS TAKES US TO THE ONE 

USED FOR A FAMOUS CUP GIANT-KILLING… 

Whilst Latics have sported 

multiple memorable kits 

since the turn of the century, 

several of the home shirts 

from the early 2000s could 

have turned into a blue haze 

for some. 

This may be down to the 

fact that the home kit only 

saw slight changes from one 

year to the next across a few 

seasons. 

Despite their similar look, 

though, all of the designs are 

worth casting your mind back 

to, as are some of the results 

from the campaigns. 

Ahead of the 2004-05 season, 

Latics saw a switch in kit 

maker, though the design of 

the home shirt did not see 

wholesales changes. 

Since 2000, four seasons’ 

shirts had been designed 

and manufactured by Sparta, 

which was replaced by in ’04 

by Carlotti, beginning its own 

four-year stint. 

On the front of the shirt for 

the season which began with 

Brian Talbot at the helm was 

formerly Manchester-based 

car dealership Horners Motor 

Group, which had been in 

position on the kit since the 

year before. 

The design itself for the 2004- 

05 season was a mostly blue 

design which sported a white 

hooped collar, a change from 

two consecutive seasons of 

V-neck collars, and a white trim 

down either side of the shirt. 

The shorts were also all 

blue, with the white trim 

from the shirt continuing 

down the outside of each 

leg. Completely white socks 

completed look for that 

season’s home kit design. 

On 7 August 2004, the newlyrenamed 

Football League 

One season began with 

Latics travelling to eventual 

champions Luton, where a Will 

Haining header put the visitors 

ahead only for goals from Steve 

Howard and Paul Underwood to 

the result around. 

A first win for Talbot’s side 

came as a brace from David 

Eyres and goals from Dean 

Holden, Rodney Jack and 

Adam Griffin overturned an 

early two-goal deficit against 

Walsall at Boundary Park, the 

game finishing 5-3. 

Latics then went unbeaten 

in four matches, going on to 

host Tottenham Hotspur in the 

League Cup, which turned out 

to be one defeat in a run of 

nine league and cup matches 

without victory. 

Fortunes turned as Barnsley, 

Bradford City, Hartlepool, 

Leyton Orient, Chesterfield 

and Huddersfield Town were 

all downed in a seven-match 

winning run across league and 

cup. 

Victory in the FA Cup against 

Leyton Orient was rewarded 

with a Third Round tie at home 


RETRO LATICS 

WHO WORE IT BEST 

David Eyres 

Although the leftmidfielder 

found his way 

to Boundary Park late 

in his career, you will 

not find a bigger Latics 

legend since the turn of 

the century following his 

six-year spell at the club. 

Despite being 40 years of 

age at the beginning of 

the 2004-05 season, the 

Liverpool-born wideman 

was a stalwart for the 

side, featuring in 49 

matchday squads and 

playing on 47 occasions. 

The player closest to 

making the same number 

of appearances as 

Eyres that season was 

then-24-year-old Dean 

Holden, who made four 

fewer appearances in all 

competitions. 

to Premier League Manchester 

City, in which a first-half Scott 

Vernon goal saw Latics dump 

Kevin Keegan’s side out of the 

competition in front of a crowd 

of over 13,000. 

The next round would see 

another top flight side travel to 

Boundary Park but while there 

was to be no repeat of the 

heroics against Bolton, victories 

over Hartlepool and Tranmere 

saw Latics reach the area final 

of the Football League Trophy, 

only to lose to Wrexham. 

In between the two legs 

against the Red Dragons, 

a perilous league position 

saw Brian Talbot replaced 

MEMORABLE MATCH 

Latics 1-0 Manchester City 

8 January 2005 

With high-scoring 

victories against Walsall, 

Chesterfield, Leyton 

Orient and a few others 

to offer as contenders, it 

is far too difficult to look 

past the 1-0 victory over 

City. 

The Blues weren’t 

boasting players of Kevin 

De Bruyne’s ilk, but their 

eventual eighth-place 

finish in the Premier 

League was testament to 

the ability within Keegan’s 

side. 

A disallowed David Eyres 

goal meant that Latics 

would have to settle for 

their sole effort from 

Scott Vernon, but that 

was enough to give much 

of the sold out crowd a 

day to remember. 

by Ronnie Moore as February 

became March. 

With Latics’ League One status 

in doubt, three victories and 

four draws in the final nine 

games of the season saw 

Moore’s side seal safety on the 

final day with a 2-1 win against 

Bradford. 

Chris Killen ended the 04-05 

season as top scorer, having 

bagged 13 goals in his 29 

appearances for Latics.

RETRO LATICS 

JAMES GLONECK STOPS OFF ON THE SOUTH 

COAST FOR A KEY GAME IN THE SECOND DIVISION 

PROMOTION-WINNING SEASON… 

Heading into the match 

in March 1991, Latics had 

a mixed record at the 

Goldstone Ground, a record 

that stretched back to 

January 1914 and a narrow 

1-0 FA Cup defeat. 

In those 77 years, Oldham 

had won five, drawn four and 

lost nine when going away to 

Brighton & Hove Albion. 

Joe Royle’s side occupied 

second place in the Second 

Division standings and were 

inconsistent away, despite 

yet being beaten at Boundary 

Park. With Latics just four 

points behind leaders West 

Ham, there remained hope of 

a title challenge. 

The Seagulls also had 

promotion aspirations of their 

own and represented resilient 

opposition on home soil. 

In a frenetic encounter, it 

was Oldham who broke 

the deadlock, Andy Ritchie 

nodding the ball home on 

his former stomping ground, 

yet just two minutes into the 

second half, the home side 

hit back from a set piece 

through Gary Chivers. 

After grabbing Oldham’s first, 

it was Ritchie again who 

would settle the contest. 

Picking up a loose ball inside 

the Brighton half and with five 

opposing players surrounding 

him, the hitman surged past a 

number onrushing challenges, 

impudently nutmegged the 

final defender and lashed 

the ball into the net, ensuring 

a crucial victory to keep 

dreams of silverware alive. 

The Goldstone Ground 

opened in 1901 and stood on 

Old Shoreham Road in Hove, 

in a partly residential area. 

Prior to the construction of 

the stadium, the site was 

cattle-grazing land owned by 

Goldstone farm. 

The directors of amateur side 

Hove FC asked if they could 

lease the site for their 1901-02 

home fixtures. An eight-foot 

fence was built around the 

perimeter, with turnstiles and 

changing rooms installed, as 

well as a 400-capacity stand. 

The stadium was first used for 

a football match by Hove in 

September 1901. The current 

Brighton & Hove Albion was 

founded nine months later 

and agreed to share the 

ground with the local side. 

It became the Deagulls’ 

permanent home the 

following season and 

improvements were swiftly 

made, as a new 1,800 

capacity stand was erected 

with new turnstiles and 

entrances. 

During the First World War, 

the site was used as a rifle 

range and by the end of the 

conflict, the ground was 


RETRO LATICS 

completely devastated. 

After raising funds, repairs 

were undertaken and 

workers managed to return 

the stadium to its former 

standing. 

By 1920, the West Stand was 

expanded, only for the stadium 

to suffer significant damage 

due to a bomb explosion as 

war broke out again. It meant 

Albion heavily invested in 

another reconstruction of the 

ground, spending an incredible 

£100,000. 

The stadium hosted football 

games for the 1948 Olympic 

Games, being one of only two 

venues outside of London to 

host matches. 

Its record attendance came in 

December 1958, as a crowd of 

36,747 watched a resounding 

3-0 victory over Fulham. 

In September 1992, it saw the 

beginning of the career of 

David Beckham, who made 

his debut as a substitute 

for Manchester United in a 

League Cup tie. 

The final match at the 

Goldstone Ground took 

place on 26 April 1997, 

Brighton securing a narrow 

1-0 victory over Doncaster to 

help preserve their Football 

League status. 

The move from the old ground 

was contentious. With the 

club close to bankruptcy, the 

freehold was sold by thenchairman, 

Bill Archer, who 

aimed to profit from the sale 

of the lucrative development 

land on which the Goldstone 

stood on. 

A proposed ground-share 

with Portsmouth failed to 

materialise, so the Seagulls 

were forced to play in 

Gillingham for two seasons 

before being housed at the 

Withdean Stadium, a local 

athletics venue, from 1999 

to 2011. 

The Goldstone Ground was 

demolished in 1997 and the 

land was sold to property 

developers who built the 

Goldstone Retail Park, which 

still stands today. 


RETRO LATICS 

WITH PETER BERRY 

TODAY WE TAKE A LOOK 

AT FOUR PAST EDITIONS 

AGAINST WHITE ROSE 

OPPOSITION… 

Latics haven’t faced many 

clubs from North Yorkshire 

over the years, but league, 

cup, and friendlies have 

thrown up clashes both home 

and away. 

In a geographical sense, the 

closest team to Harrogate is 

York City and Oldham have 

played the Minstermen on 

many occasions. 

In 1974/5 both clubs were 

celebrating their promotion 

into the old Second Division, 

Latics coming up as 

champions. The programme, 

“Boundary News,” for 19 

October 1974, proudly 

displayed the championship 

trophy, as well as action 

photos of matches from the 

previous season. 

At 10p, the glossy production 

of 20 pages was in blue, white, 

and tangerine on the covers 

but just black and white inside. 

Whilst just half a page was 

about the visitors, Latics’ 

goalkeeper Chris Ogden had 

a full-page feature, disclosing 

that his dad, Fred, had played 

in the same position at 

Boundary Park helped him deal 

with any pressure, and that his 

favourite meal was steak. 

Manager Jimmy Frizzell 

was very disappointed in 

the previous week’s display 

at Orient, but Oldham still 

sat eighth in the table, 

one below York. There was 

news of upcoming Texaco 

Cup matches against “star 

spangled Southampton” whilst 

a proposed friendly against 

Polish champions Gornik had 

been cancelled. 

York won 3-2, home goals 

from Ian Robins and Alan 

Young, in front of 12,141 

fans, the start of a poor run 

for Latics, not winning in 

11 league games, the next 

victory coming on Boxing Day 

- the 1-0 win over Man United. 

Worth waiting for? 

Scarborough were in the 

Football League from 1987 

to 1999 but only in cup 

competitions have they 

come up against Latics. 

On 18 November 1972, the 

non-league side visited 

Boundary Park for an FA 

Cup First Round tie. 

Oldham sat fifth in the 

old Third Division and 

were firm favourites. 

The two pages of notes 

and pictures about them 

pointed out they had 

“one of the best defences 

in the Northern Premier 

League”, well organised 

by player-manager 

Colin Appleton, the ex- 

Leicester City stalwart. 

The 16-page “Boundary 

Bulletin” had featured 

lots of local adverts, 

Oldhamers were invited 

to visit “The Grapes” 


RETRO LATICS 

before and after the 

game, get their patent 

medicines from John 

Wood Chemist, whilst 

Breretons of Chadderton 

were specialists in gents’ 

hairpieces. 

Oldham’s previous two 

matches had been a 7-1 

victory and a 2-6 defeat, 

but goals were scarcer 

in this game, a 1-1 draw 

witnessed by 7,943 fans. 

An upset in itself but 

the replay on the coast 

was even more of one, 

Latics losing to the nonleaguers 

1-2. Maybe it 

was sweet revenge in 

1989 when Oldham won 

7-0 in the Littlewoods 

Cup on their march to 

Wembley. 

Not everyone would 

regard Middlesbrough as 

being in the same county, 

but it was part of the 

historic North Ridingand 

so can be included. 

The 1989/90 season was 

regarded as the “Pinch 

Me” year and, on 31 March 

1990, Latics travelled to 

Ayresome Park pushing for 

promotion to the top-flight. 

The ‘Boro Magazine’ 

was a packed 32 pages 

costing £1 and was full 

of reading. Five pages 

were generously devoted 

to the visitors, historical 

as well as contemporary, 

and there were full colour 

photos of the team and 

Andy Ritchie. 

Boro had just lost in the 

Wembley final of the 

Zenith Data Trophy and 

pictures of the game 

feature prominently. 

There’s lots about the 

Boro youth teams, an 

A-Z of past players and 

several other features. 

Teams are listed on 

the back cover, a brief 

pen pic of each player 

on both teams by their 

name, and noting that 

Latics have three ever 

present players. 

It was a stumble for 

Oldham, losing by the 

only goal of the game, 

with an attendance of 

17,238. No promotion but 

it was only delayed by 

one season. 

There were links between 

Oldham manager Neil 

Warnock and Pickering 

Town, and as he’d 

brought previous teams 

he had managed to 

the Mill Lane ground, a 

pre-season friendly on 

5 August 1997 wasn’t 

unexpected. 

Then in the North East 

Counties League, the 

Pikes produced a special 

programme, the cover 

dominated by a photo 

of one of the terraces, 

the club logo and match 

details. 

The biggest home gate 

Pickering had was 

against Whitby Town in 

the North Riding Cup, 

350 turning up but 

normally the crowd was 

about 80-100. 

The thriving junior 

section is given space, 

U11s upwards, new 

senior signings are listed 

(including Mike Sellers 

from Harrogate Town) 

and there are many 

pages of advertising, not 

least from club sponsor 

Flamingo Land, just up 

the road, with butchers, 

bakers and undertakers 

also present. 

Costing 50p, the 36- 

page programme has 

colour on the cover 

pages and is black and 

white inside. It was to 

prove a disappointing 

season for Latics, ending 

mid-table in their first 

season after relegation 

from the Championship. 

The Pikes had no 

success either, finishing 

15th in their league.

ACADEMY UPDATE 

Name: Joe Edwards 

Second Year Scholar (U18) 

Position: Central Midfielder 

Supports: Manchester United 

JOE EDWARDS 

Background: I’ve been at the Academy 

for two years. Before that I was at 

Huddersfield and Manchester United 

but I’m a local lad and played for 

Greater Manchester Boys. 

Main strength: My play in the final 

third, adding goals and assists to my 

game. I like to get on the ball and 

make things happen. 

Area to improve: My understanding of 

the game and how to read moments 

because as a player you want to stay 

in control. 

Getting To Know... 

Ambition in football: Like everyone, I 

want to play at the top of the game 

but to be a professional is my main 

aim. 

Thoughts on recent form: I’ve been 

doing well and started strong by 

scoring regularly. My form has been 

good and I had a chance to captain 

the U18s so it’s all added to my 

confidence. 

Targets for the season: I really want 

us to have a good FA Youth Cup run as 

well as beating my goal target from 

last season of 13 and to pushing for 

more chances in the first team. 

Something interesting we don’t know: 

I enjoy other sports to take my mind 

off football, mainly golf and boxing. 

Youth Team Manager review: We call 

him ‘Joe the goal’ and it’s because he’s 

clinical in the final third. He’s another 

exciting player coming through and 

waiting for his shot at first team 

level. When Joe does well, the team 

does well. He’s all-rounder and we’re 

pleased with his start to the season. 


ACADEMY UPDATE 

CONTINUING TO MAKE THE GRADE 

If the mark of a successful youth set-up is not 

only the number of players who graduate onto a 

professional contract but also those who receive 

first-team recognition based on merit, then there 

is added reason for the Academy to be pleased 

at present. 

Joining the ever-growing list of players to have 

featured in senior football over recent years, eight 

youngsters have made the step up so far this 

season, Joe Edwards and Jim Simms becoming 

the latest to make progress with a place in the 

matchday squad for the Papa John’s Trophy group 

game against Leeds United U21 on Tuesday night. 

Edwards and Simms have been rewarded for their 

performances in an Academy shirt, following 

Kacper Danielewicz, Benny Couto, Harry Vaughan, 

Will Sutton, Vani Da Silva and Junior Luamba in 

making the jump this campaign. 

With a mixture of first year professionals and 

second year scholars, it is not only testament to 

their individual hard work but also the support 

mechanisms in place, the detail provided by a 

number of coaches and touch points from the 

education side. 

Becoming a well-rounded individual on and off 

the pitch is a melting pot for chances to make 

it in the game and being a club that prides itself 

on consistently producing local talent, Latics’ 

reputation in youth football continues to go from 

strength to strength. 

“There’s been a robust plan in place now for a few 

years and despite changes in personnel, the one 

constant has always been to focus on the young 

players we have identified and ensure they have 

the best possible chance to make it,” said Interim 

Head of Academy Conor Marlin. 

“By that we mean regular coaching time on the 

pitch, the chance to experience the non-league 

loan system to gain vital experience, as well as a 

first class education support from professionals 

who help guide them on what it takes to be 

successful in life, not just in football. 

“We’ve got to remember these players are still 

teenagers who have their full lives ahead of 

them so although we ultimately want the club to 

benefit by having their own homegrown players to 

choose from and sell, we need to make sure the 

players’ welfare is first and to make sure whatever 

their next chapter is after Oldham Athletic they 

are well prepared to face it straight on.” 

The Academy’s results so far have been mixed but 

with consistency a challenge as the better players 

within the group make the step-up, football at 

youth level is always about the bigger picture. 

“It’s exciting times for everyone connected to 

the football club, as the players themselves have 

shown they want to grab the opportunity they 

have here for two years as a full-time scholar with 

both hands,” Marlin added. 

“As this season progresses, I’m confident we’ll see 

more names come to the forefront of supporters’ 

minds. 

“One thing I’ve certainly been impressed with is 

how the fans get behind those who are ‘one of 

their own’ and long may it continue, that backing 

is one of the biggest factors in their motivation 

and is something they talk about for weeks after 

around the club.”

OLDHAM ATHLETIC 

COMMUNITY TRUST 

GOOD NEWS FOR OACT’S ‘NEVER ALONE’ PROJECT 

Oldham Athletic Community 

Trust, in conjunction with 

the football club and the 

support of academics at the 

Universities of Leeds and 

Reading, have successfully 

been awarded a grant from 

The Ideas Fund, enabling the 

enhancement of the Never 

Alone provision. 

The project is one of 42 

schemes announced by the 

Ideas Fund to receive funding 

after the first round of grant 

applications received earlier 

this year. 

The initial application 

round received a total of 

146 applications with the 

chosen schemes having now 

been selected. The projects 

feature a broad range of 

topics from sport, nature and 

nutrition to issues faced by 

disabled, refugee and LGBTQ+ 

communities. 

The Ideas Fund is a new 

grants scheme, run by the 

British Science Association 

and funded by the Wellcome 

Trust, that enables the UK 

public to develop and try out 

ideas that address problems 

related to mental wellbeing 

through collaborating with 

professional researchers. 

Never Alone focuses on 

providing activity for those 

either currently retired or 

approaching retirement, 

providing a social environment 

using the power of football to 

engage. Across six sessions 

the group will combine 

watching and discussing 

historic Oldham Athletic 

games along with utilising 

local parks to stay physically 

active through scheduled 

group walks. 

Martin Vose, OACT Head Of 

Community, said: “We are 

excited to continue our Never 

Alone project and thanks to 

the Ideas Fund being able to 

further enhance the initiative. 

“We aim to use the power 

of football and physical 

activity to bring together a 

community of individuals to 

form a social group. We will 

take a look back in time at 

Oldham Athletic matches 

from years gone by, creating 

opportunities to talk and 

discuss life events that link 

into that game(s).” 

The project will be split over 

two cohorts, with the first 

project schedule being: 

• 19 October - Project launch 

at Boundary Park. Prior 

to the Oldham Athletic v 

Walsall fixture we will watch 

an historic Oldham Athletic 

fixture before staying 

as a group to watch the 

following Sky Bet League 

Two match. 

• October (date TBC) - Group 

based walk. 

• November (date TBC) - 

Opportunity to watch an 

historic Oldham Athletic 

fixture at Boundary Park on 

a non-matchday. 

• November (date TBC) - 

Group based walk. 

• 7 December 7 - Opportunity 

to meet as a group prior 

to the Oldham Athletic v 

Tranmere Rovers fixture at 

Boundary Park. 

• December (date TBC) – 

Christmas celebration. 

In total, nine projects have 

been granted funding totalling 

£319,000 which are listed below: 

• Pennine Mencap:
