boboafc Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 For £60,000 Stainrod became then Oldham Athletic's record signing in March 1979, his debut coming in a 2-0 victory against Blackburn Rovers where he scored the second goal for the Latics. The following season he was the clubs top goal scorer with just 11 goals. simon stainrod..... we need a player of his quality today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wozzer Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The Stainrod swagger.... It has to be said his debut goal at B***tard Rovers was a thing of beauty - picked the ball up on the half way line left wing, went past two men cut in and lashed it from an impossible angle inside the far post - of such things are legend made.

petera1 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 simon stainrod..... we need a player of his quality today Too right Bob - he is still probably my favourite Latics player of all time, his debut game goal still lives long in the memory, not just because who it was against and we never won at Ewood Park but the skill he had to beat the defenders and then the impossible angle he scored from.

ghostofcecere Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 He lived around the corner from me in Milnrow and often used to come out and have a kick around with us on the field near his house. Top bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMAX Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 He lived around the corner from me in Milnrow and often used to come out and have a kick around with us on the field near his house. Top bloke. Now lives in the South of France,when we played Leeds last year my Mate was having a business lunch in Paris with him and my mate rang me at the match and put the great man on for a brief chat ,still got a broad Sheffield accent,still a character by all accounts. Up there with Grovesie,Ritchie, Eyrsie in Legend Status! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Stainrod is one of my all time favourite Latics players, very skillful and a great entertainer, not far behind Ritchie for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMAX Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Stainrod is one of my all time favourite Latics players, very skillful and a great entertainer, not far behind Ritchie for me. Funnily enough when the Guardsmens Band came on at half time yesterday they started with "Men of Harlech" which in Stainrods era became "Men of Boundary Park are Roaring, Simon Stainrods always scoring.." which set me and mate reminiscing about some of his goals.
