He is a greedy, sulking, whinging, talentless waste of a Latics shirt.
According to some on here.
I, however really rate him (along with John Toshack and the majority of other managers in this division who have commented on him)
Ha Ha......He's a football wizard.....(I don't know the rest of the lyrics!!)
But pinball, lazy, thick, whatever people on this board have called him this season, he is our top scorer and we'd be stuffed without him.

So I make it 64 if you count same team in different grounds. I probably have done some more with my Dad when I was a kid that I don't know about!!
Anyone remember Bobby Johnstone? Big name player came to Latics out of the blue and put thousands on the gate. In Oldham Athletic Complete Record 1899 - 1988 by Garth Dykes, Johnstone's pen picture is...
"An instant success at Boundary Park, Bobby Johnstone's instinctive ability to control the game from midfield and his brilliant knack of creating goals with a single defence-splitting pass soon had the crowd baying in appreciation. The highest Boundary Park attendance for six-and-a-half years (17,116) saw his debut game against Exeter City."
Sound like anyone you know?
So Latics fan and local boy comes home on a small basic with a cut of the gate and helps to secure the future of the club he supported as a boy......I think there would be extra people who would pay to come and watch him - A La Johnstone
Home sweet home
I remember Notts Forest fans lighting fires on the RRE. If I remember correctly, it was a winter night match and I think Gary Hoolickin broke his leg. I couldn't blame them for lighting fires - it was bloody cold like!!!
