The Art of Hand and Foot Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Tried quoting Brookie, but the threads been locked. Cian Tyrer, who you had on loan last week, returned to the yeds and scored a double hat trick. The last player to do that for Oldham was the great Ike Southward in 1960. Don't know what you feed em up there but it's working wonders for us. Ā 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I remember seeing a documentary about Town with Ike and Andy Key being interviewed and they asked Ike where he got his speed from. In his own inimitable fashion he said "I had 3 owlder brothers, so I ran to git yam frae school afor them so I'd git fed frae t'fust pan o' chips". 1 3 Iām not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy DoNut Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Some of Ike's family came to one of our games last year to receive his Oldham Heritage Certificate, was lovely to meet them. I believe he was our record signing from Town at the time & then we sold him back to you 2 years later for our record sale!

Aye, and lets not forget that the corner flag was "in touch" back then - half the tries scored by wingers today would have been disallowed back then. 1 Iām not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warrington corner flag try yesterday was insane, he was virtually sitting in the front row of the stand when he grounded it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
