Brian Larrad Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Good evening Latics fans. I'm sorry to have to inform you all of the passing 30yr old Nathan Mclean,following a short battle of stomach cancer. Nathan was a life long supporter of both the Latics and the Roughyeds. We Roughyeds supporters would like to get as many Latics fans across to Spotland on sunday to help show our love for Nathan, in all your latics shirts as we plan to do a 1 minute round of applause for Nathan on the 30th minute. We will return that gratitude by turning up at your next home game( Bury 23rd ?) in our roughyeds shirts. Nathan, I believe was well loved by you lot as well as us, and like the Roughyeds players, Nathan was visited by some of the Latics team in hospital. We look forward to seeing as many as you can bring on sunday. Thanks Brian Larrad Edited January 11, 2016 by Brian Larrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Seen abit on Facebook a lot of people pretty cut up by this as you can imagine for someone to be taken so young. Sad news RIP Nathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I only met Nathan on a handful of occasions, but he was a very friendly and likeable guy. The ilk of fan who makes up the life blood of a club. It was upsetting to hear of his diagnoses weeks ago, but how quickly his death has come about is just heartbreaking.

Bristolatic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 RIP Nathan. So sad to lose your life at 30 years of age. Condolences to your family. I have to ask; is this the Nathan that dressed up as a caveman on the last day of the season before last at Orient? Worked for Subway, I think?

Its truly heartbreaking that the horrible illness has taken such a kind gentle bloke so early. Bristol no that nathen is a diffrent guy.

Forte_Baby Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Everyone up has spoke on here sums up the great lad Nathan was. A big request to all Oldham fans On the 10th January, Nathan McLean a loyal passionate supporter of both The Latics and Roughyheads passed away after a short battle with Cancer. Even in his final few days and hours, Nathan was still looking forward to watching his beloved latics. While in hospital Nathan turned 30 years of age and at this weekends game with Bradford on the 30th min we are asking if all fans could please join in a minutes applause in memory of Nathan. If you could share this on all social media outlets related with Latics it be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
