al_bro Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It's with great sadness that I have to say this. My brother Laticsrblue (Ian Broadbent), a Latics supporter for well over 50 years, passed away this morning. He bravely battled on ,after receiving the awful prognosis that he had terminal cancer, back in February. He used to post clips of goals on here from big Gordy's commentaries, for those who remember.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Sad to hear this. Never met Ian but he did dig out a clip of a goal from our top flight days that I hadn’t seen since I was at the match - my first Latics match. It was a special moment for me back then and seeing the clip brought back the special memories. I really appreciated him finding it and posting it here for me. My condolences to his family.

disjointed Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Al bro, it always made me smile when we had the match day chat on this forum, when we scored he broke the record for the jumping jellybeans and flag waving emojis in one post. I don't think anyone could doubt his passion for Oldham Athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So sorry for your loss. Always listened to the goal commentaries he put on here which he would then send onto me on a weekly basis. Lovely bloke. RIP Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
