palmer1 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I understand this is a new thing that the club is trying to put together. Fantastic idea and about time... A Latics legend has contacted me via twitter & asked for some details. I assume (hope) someone who posts on here will have some involvement? Are there any details or contacts I can pass on?

It's something the Trust has started and asked Alan Hardy to get involved with. I'll find out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorvik_latic Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Thanks, appreciated. No problem. They can email events@trustoldham.co.uk and it will be picked up from there. You can also link this story which actually just came out today if they want more info -http://trustoldham.co.uk/former-players-association-launch-event/ We are pleased to announce that the launch of the Oldham Athletic Former Players Association will take place on Thursday 27th October at the Oldham Event Centre and there are 80 tickets available for fans to attend the event. The event begins at 7pm and will feature guest speakers including Joe Royle, Bernard Halford and Les Chapman. The evening includes a curry meal prepared by the chefs at the OEC, and there will be players from the 1960s all the way through to more recent years. At least 20 former players will be in attendance, well announce attendees over the coming weeks. Tickets for the night are £25 with places limited. Details of how to purchase tickets will be announced on Monday 10th October. Monies raised from the tickets/night will be going to the Oldham Athletic Former Players Association with the aim of creating a charitable organisation which awards funds to fan and community initiatives in Oldham. The Oldham Athletic Former Players Association is an idea from Trust Oldham. We all have our own heroes we grew up watching and they all have a special place in our hearts even years later. It is an important part of our identity that we continue to acknowledge the efforts of our former players and give them a permanent home at our club. The association will be administrated by former players and will first and foremost create opportunities for players to get back in touch with former teammates and be involved with the club and fans. We are hoping the creation of the Former Players Association will help create a lasting bond and give them the opportunity to be involved in the club and with all the generations of fans.

He doesn't know Tarky maybe? He asked....I asked. He isn't an ex team mate of Tarky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
