Tommy_Fent Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Doesnt have to be a Latics player, just an interesting conversation me and my mate (stockport fan) had the other night I'm pretty sure my Dads favourite player was Jim Fryatt, or "King Jim Bang-Them-In" as he used to say, played for us in the early 70's and helped us win promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My dad grew up a United fan, watched them win the European Cup at Wembley in 1968 and then decided he should be a Latics fan... I'll never understand his logic but love him for it! But that means his is George Best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_carters_arms Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My dad didnt go and watch any live football till i turned 5 years old and started moaning about wanting to watch latics, that was in 1986 and so my dad and my mum quickly fell in love with Roger Palmer, as did I. So I will put my mum & dad down as Palmer fans. Im also not afraid to point out both my mum and dad stopped going when the glory days ended. If anyone wants to give them some sh*t I'll supply a direct telephone number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you know how fickle your dad can be, but I do know he's been a great admirer of Ritchie, Whittle, Halom and Fryatt. Send him a text - he enjoys proving me wrong....

jimsleftfoot Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Would have to double check but I think Colin Bell. Ricky Holden was his favourite Latics player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My dad grew up a United fan, watched them win the European Cup at Wembley in 1968 and then decided he should be a Latics fan... I'll never understand his logic but love him for it! But that means his is George Best. Ha ha...I grew up a United fan (had no choice as that is my Dad's team), but always had Oldham as my second team. I decided to make Oldham my first team about 2 seconds after Mark Hughes's equaliser in the 94 fa cup semi. My Dad's favourite player was George Best.

He also said there's none more fickle than your good self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My dad couldn't stand football, hated it. There are times I have thought that perhaps I should have made more effort to be like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
