Eric Sykes was the spitting image of my Dad. My Dad was brought up one street away from him. My Granddad had six kids with four different wives.

I'm pretty certain she once lived in Windsor Road when I lived in Gainsborough Avenue as a kid in the late 40s and 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have to look to musicians. Are the Courteeners multi-millionaires yet? I would suggest not. Especially as band incomes will be at an all time low in the current climate.

Monty Burns Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I think some people may be confusing 'Latics fans' with 'Humans born at Oldham Hospital'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, Monty, but they may still have some affinity towards the town or, dare I say, Latics? Shots in the dark, of course. I believe the first test tube baby, Louise Brown, now lives in Bristol. I could try to find her if you like. On second thoughts, I'm not convinced she's got the dosh, so I'll remove my tongue from my cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Sadly, the % of names mentioned who are Latics fans probably isn't as low as the % population of the boro that are Latics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiral_Carpet Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Siobhan Finneran was in the same year as me at Saddleworth School and her parents owned the newsagents in Grotton. Bobby Ball’s son and Tommy Cannon’s daughter were at Saddleworth too at the same time. She was quite fit if I recall but I’m digressing. I can feel a consortium in the offing. Premier League in 5 years, nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric: “Three things make me laugh” Ernie “ What are they?” Eric : “ Balloons, Haydock Park, and Oldham Athletic” It wasn’t meant in a nasty sense if I remember correctly but Eric was never cruel...

He was part of the generation that changed the way 1 day cricket was played. His test batting average wasn't too shabby either, just under 50. RIP Dean.
