Diego_Sideburns Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 To celebrate my 7,000th post, I'm copying and pasting an article I had published in the 'Beyond The Boundary' fanzine back in April 2000. Obviously a lot has happened since then, but no doubt others will add their memories. 50 YEARS OF KEEPING THE FAITH Jogging to Tandle Hills with the team in pre-season training in the 50s. By train to Accrington Stanley in 1958. Being made to go through the Chaddy End turnstile two at a time in 1959 and then having to give evidence in court in The Great Turnstile Swindle prosecution. Waiting to see who won the toss to get behind the goal we were attacking, and changing ends at half-time at Boundary Park. Brimelow's cough tablets and mintoes being sold around the pitch. Seeing Stanley Matthews play at Boundary Park in a benefit game. A lunchbox being thrown onto the pitch in the match which determined that we would be founder members of the Fourth Division, and then a bloke being arrested as he went onto the pitch to retrieve it, as he knew it was more than his life was worth to go home to his wife without it! Winning the Ford Sporting League month after month, so that it could be publicised on "Match of the Day". Bert Lister's six goals in the 11 -0 win against Southport on Boxing Day in the snow with the crowd smoking their Christmas cigars! Bobby Johnstone's cheekily taken free kicks, whilst distracting the ref in conversation. The ball bouncing over Johnny Bollands' head when we were about to beat a West Ham team which included Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. The excitement created by Alan Groves. The many goals of Ray Haddington, Eric Gemmel, Jim Fryatt and Roger Palmer. The spectacular goals of Ryszard Kowenicki. Hartlepool United pre-season and then having a puncture after driving away from the ground. Having another puncture a few days later and then asking Bernie Slaven outside Ayresome Park, for the whereabouts of the nearest tyre repairer. Having my birthday announced on the Scoreboard at the Baseball Ground (arranged by a Derby fan) and then going on to beat Derby 1-0. B.B.C. Radio Derby commentator at Boundary Park saying that "The Lookers Stand must be called Lookers because that's where the Oldham fans look at the pitch". Being "robbed" by the ref at Portsmouth and then having a puncture after driving away from the ground. Andy Goram swinging on the Chaddy End crossbar in premature celebration of a play-off final place, just before Keith Edwards scored THAT goal. Frankie Bunn's six goals. The victory in the League Cup against reigning champions and the then League leaders Arsenal. The victory in thev F.A. Cup against the then League leaders Astor Villa. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre of West Ham. Wembley Way full of Latics fans. Meeting the great Alan Williams inside Wembley. That huge Latics flag. Ian Marshall's hat-trick against Wolves. Roger Palmer's hat-trick at Maine Road. Fancy dress at Notts County and a "crocodile" of Blues Brothers. Promotion at Ipswich. Redfeam's Championship winning penalty. Roger Palmer's testimonial match. The all-night vigil for tickets for the Liverpool match. Earl Barrett's goal at Anfield making all that queuing for tickets worthwhile. Beating Chelsea 3-0 in the first home match in the old First Division to prove that we could play on grass as well. Brian Clough returning to the dugout in advance of his Forest team for the second half, and then standing up and showing us a three nil scoreline when Latics fans chanted to ask him for the score. Beating Wimbledon's 'crazy gang' 6-2. Standing in the eye of the Wiltshire White Horse for good luck and then Paul Bernard getting a last minute winner at Swindon. Neil Adams' two late goals at Everton. Winning at Southampton. The final whistle after the Great Escape victory. Ricky Holden diving for City at Maine Road, and then winking at Latics fans whilst still on the ground, with boos turning into laughter and applause. Mike Milligan's flicked goal and four season's weather in the first half at Maine Road. Passionate singing at Norwich on relegation day. Big Kevin Francis's own goal for Birmingham at Boundary Park. Brian 'Killer' Kilcline's own goal at Elland Road. Darren Beckford's celebration with his brother through the fence at Burnden Park. Ronnie Blair's stanchion hitting ‘goal’ against ManUre Nick Henry's disallowed ‘goal’ in the first semi-final replay at Maine Road. David Currie's disallowed ‘goal’ at Old Trafford. Neil Adams' goal that beat table-topping ManUre! Sean McCarthy's hat-trick at Notts County. Sean McCarthy's goal at Old Trafford. Neil Pointon's goal at Wembley and those glorious twelve minutes before THAT goal! The penalty shoot-out at Grimsby. Travelling with the team by coach to the stadium in Ancona. The two 'wild women' of Ancona. That scary plane landing with the team in Genoa when I was not the only one to think we might be about to be mentioned in the same breath as the Munich victims. Jumping up and down for the entire match to beat the cold in Genoa. Running the police gauntlet in Genoa. Stuart Barlow's hat-trick at Bradford City. Running the City fans' gauntlet after yet another victory at Maine Road. Running the gauntlet to take a half-time penalty at Ramsey, Isle of Man and then informing the P.N.E. Fans massed behind the goal that “we're the pride of Lancashire“. Singing the Sean Gregan chippy song all through our match against P.N.E. In Douglas . Singing outside the Irish Bar in Douglas in unison with fans of other clubs. Shamrock Rovers' fans starting the singing of Latics songs on the way back from Dundalk after the mini-bus had been stoned. Being part of Adrian Littiejohn's and Matthew Tipton's debut goal celebration moshes. Winning in the rain at Chesterfield and juggling the ball across the terracing. Andy Ritchie coming into the crowd to greet Laics fans at the Scarborough v Carlisle match. Danny Standring's 'Sharp out!' centre-spot protest, and the Magistrate saying that he had suffered so much being a Latics fan that he did not deserve additional punishment. Andy Ritchie coming home!

martjs Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Passionate singing at Norwich on relegation day. On the Barlow's coach singing "Going down, going down" (for the tyre) when our coach got a puncture on the way back from Norwich... A perfect example of Latics humour!

Diego_Sideburns Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 The above post from 'cmon_oldham' is post number 1 - Diego's was to celebrate post number 7,000 - Diego - you are the man -respect Incidentally - 7000 posts in 20 months is an average of: 350 per month or 11 a day.... To think that I'm unable to post when driving all over the country, and I've also written a 360 page, 65,000 word family history document in that time as well, and I only type with one finger - it's much shorter than the rest! Will you be going out for a celebratory meal to honour the occasion? Or just two dollops of marmite and a big mug of Bovril? The Bovril was a life-saver at Alfreton last Tuesday - it was almost as cold as ISZ.! I can't stand Marmite, I only promote it on here to help local industry. We've got an Oldhamer (Latics fan) coming for tea, so we're entertaining him at home. He's working at Marston's all week, so we'll probably show him Burton's best drinking places on Thursday night.

losesome Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Ian Marsahlls goal at Barnsley in the championship winning season. How many latics fans were there that day, it was like we knew it was going to be our season. Marshy's two goals at Ipswich that won us promotion to the top league. Colin Garwood Hatrick at Bournemouth Going on the disco train to Bournemouth Going on the train to Southampton and getting back at 6 am (worth it for Andy's goal) Being 4 up against workington in some poxy cup and losing 7-4 ?? leaving BP when 2-0 up against wolves in cup to arrive home for mum to say sorry you only drew. Beating Huddersfield 6-0 to win promotion. I know it's been mentioned but when winning the ford sporting league every month the best bit was Manure whinning every month it wan't fair because the points were carried over to the next month and we were so far in front nobody could catch us. Seeing Bobby Johnstone leave the pub at Ayresome Park at 2.45 to drunk to stand up. Billy Johnston took his place. Coming back from Donny one friday night with no coach windows - bloody freezing over the moors. The last 3 games of the great escape season. Arriving late at Crystal Palace one Sunday and were 3-0 down when we got in. Burnnley scoring 3 goals whilst we were in the queue to get in at BP. Maurice Whittle free kick against York David Shaw hatrick on his second debut OH HAPPY DAYS Edited September 9, 2008 by losesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Lee Richardson scoring two absolute screamers vs charlton athletic on his debut in opening game of 1994/1995 season (My first game) Beating Birmingham City 4-0 and witnessing Kevin Francis score the best own goal ever seen at boundary park. Again, as mentioned above, the centre circle protest (forget whether it was vs ipswich or wolves) Seeing Bristol Rovers knock three past us in the first ten minutes Being stuck outside for 30 minutes only to be told game called off due to fog. Andy Ritchie banging in a last minute goal vs middlesboro. Steve Mcmahon went off with a broken arm to the jubilant cheers of latics fans Beating City 2-1 at boundary park in division 1, with Gary Kelly saving a kinkladze penalty Being 3-0 up against bristol rovers (under warnock) and seeing us blow the lead to go in 3-3 at half time. The 7-1 drubbing vs Baadif The away team bringing the wrong kits to the game (think this happened when we played birmingham and charlton in 1996/1997) and having to wear our away strip. Lee Richardsons penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Aside from those that have been mentioned (and in no particular order): Being in the ground before the team at West Brom (Hallworth's save game) Beating City at Maine Road in 99 Getting absolutely spanked by City on Boundary Beach in 92 (and the journey home in a car full of City fans) The smile on my face when we beat Bury 4-0 on a Tuesday night (I went to school in Bury so knew I was going to be giving a lot of banter the next day) The day after beating Man U The day after loosing to Spurs in 94 The Liverpool game at Anfield in 94 when they scored the winner in the 100th minute Being one of 7 Oldham fans sat down at stamford bridge in 93 when we won 1-0 (and I was told by some cockney that Oldham were in the toilet at half-time - we were 1-0 up) Absolutely hooning it over the Pennines in my dad's car when the coach to Barnsley failed to show up and making it in time for kick-off Getting a puncture in Doncaster and missing the start of the game in 05 Arriving late for Hartlepool last season (I must live 2nd closet to their ground) That week in Jan 08 Getting revenge on a Hudds car after the cup defeat last season And two more personal ones Watching my Dad drag Dr. Kelso onto the pitch as the physios were trying to stop Andy Payton swallowing his tongue at the RRE Being the mascot for the Tottenham game in xmas 92 (and whoeever it was that said I was a lucky mascot after Olney's last minute winner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyblue Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) bobby johnstone playing keepy uppy in the centre circle in his first match for latics telling bert lister where to run then splitting the exeter defence with the pass for the first of 5 goals to come back from 2-0 to win 5-2 In terms of a season though it has to be 73/74, power cuts so a generator used to power the floodlights as we beat cambridge 6 -1, grovesy's debut against aldershot, winning at bristol rovers easter saturday then beating southport 2-0 at their ground easter monday, having beaten them 6-0 at BP on the friday beating huddersfield 6-0 to clinch promotion losing at home to charlton when we needed to win for the championship (never been in main stand paddock since!) then listening to radio commentary when we hung on for a goalless draw at plymouth to clinch the championship of division 3. reception on town hall steps and a mate of mine refusing to show his bare backside on the same steps even though he had said he would if latics won promotion. all this just makes me realise how lucky we are to still have the latics in existence to support. misty eyed reading this thread and writing this lol Edited September 9, 2008 by eddyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 i remember coming back from a match and the coach freezing and no windows and if i am right that goal by whittle was in april 74 away at york if so it was my first latics match Whittle goal was away at york in 74. If i remember right he did it again in the following home match on the Tuesday , may have been bournemouth ?? Took it from just inside their half near the dug outs shooting towards the chaddy end. Does anybody remember miss of the century - It was crewe away - may have been a friday night. Big jim Fryatt breaks through one on one with goalie. Chips it over his head and runs round him. Thinking the ball is going in he just follows it in with his hands in the air only for it to hit the post. In his panic he puts the rebound wide !!!!

latic12345 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 In addition to those memories already listed from 1990 or so Going to overy game at the start of the 03/04 season thinking it would be our last Celebration Sunday - Griffin meant it!! Oldham were back!! Beating Forest 5-0 Following it up with 1-1 at Scunny in the most one sided game ever seen and grown men crowd surfing, hugging anyone they could Neil Eardley nerly being thrown out at the same game Staying up on the last day under Ritchie Swindon away under Talbot - for al his misgivings, that was a great performance and a great day out. The day "Oh when the blues" really caught on for me. It's got faster by the day ever since Bristol City away in same season - Muzza and Ernie making it a day to remember John Sheridan giving me his shirt at the end of said Reading game (it was my last season as ball boy) Watching League Cup final on video for weeks afterwards hoping Rhodes pushed the ball that bit further or Ritchie's shot would go in! Carlo's 4 goal haul against Wrexham helping him get to the mighty total of 11 that season Wayno's goal after 12 seconds at the JJB Dux's goal at the JJB Beating Wolves 3-1 at Molyneux after being 1-0 down at half time sat in their end Millwall last season - unbelievable I think everyone has covered a lot of the other memories.
