This is the second volume
in a series of books that takes a definitive look at the players and match
records of Oldham Athletic AFC. The
club started as Pine Villa in 1895 and changed its name to Oldham Athletic in
1899. This volume takes the story
of the club from the war season of 1915 to the outbreak of the next World War in
1939. The club’s First Division
status lasted for four seasons when professional football resumed in 1919, but
relegation to Division Two and the Third (North) followed.
Grids
of match details of line-ups and goal scorers are provided for each season.
The players’ A-Z section includes biographies of every Football League
player from 1919 to 1939. A ‘head
and shoulders’ photograph of the player is included in almost every case.
The book also includes many team group photographs and other material
from the author’s collection.
