ghostofcecere Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The latter part of last season was yet another example of footballers who's didn't appear to give a toss......... something that nobody could ever accuse Ernie of. If our team would have had even half his spirit and desire last year, we would have been out of this poxy league. RIP Ernie, you will not be forgotten by the supporters of Oldham Athletic.

singe Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Would owtb be able to put a little commenorative icon at the far right (not taking anything away from 92 in Blue? Think it would be appropriate every year. You knwo a Google esque type thing. My thoughts are with Ernie's family,e specially his partner and child-it cannot be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
