I've always been a Latics (OAFC) fan, since about the age of 12, we moved house to an area not far from the ground. There was a group of kids that all pal'd around together and there was a guy who worked as a groundsman at Boundary Park called Harry who lived nearby who we all knew. He used to get us the players autographs (Roger Palmer, Andy Ritchie, Joe Royle) and sneak us into the ground on match days! We loved it! That was when the club was still in the Premier league and the crowds were phenomenal on a Saturday afternoon, especially when we played the likes of Manchester City! I have many fond childhood memories from back in those days, although we are no longer in the Premier league and are currently fighting for our position in league 2, I can't help loving my club!!
