Head To Head: Oldham Athletic

Posted on: Fri 17 Oct 2008
HEAD TO HEAD
The two clubs have met on just 29 previous occasions, with 28 of those coming with points at stake. At Boundary Park, we have managed just 3 wins and 5 draws in 15 previous visits.

EARLY MEETINGS
The clubs first crossed swords back in 1907-08, when Fosse triumphed 4-1 at home on Christmas Day, then earned a 1-1 draw in Lancashire on Easter Tuesday, in the very first season of football at Boundary Park, after the Latics' move from Sheepfoot Lane.

RECENT HISTORY
The most recent league clashes came back in 1995-96. Martin O'Neill's team went down 1-3 in Oldham in March, with Mike Whitlow scoring a rare goal, before a 2-0 Filbert Street win in April, courtesy of a Steve Claridge brace, was the first of four successive victories at the end of the campaign to propel the Foxes into the play-offs.

BIGGEST WINS
Leicester have twice run out 4-1 winners in the series. Apart from that first ever meeting, City also eased home by that score in September 1987, when Mike Newell made a scoring debut and the "Mighty Finn", Jari Rantanen, was also on target. Only twice in the past have the Latics hit three goals against us: on our last visit and also in the only cup tie, when an Alan Young hat-trick sent us crashing out of the F A Cup in 1979.

SEQUENCES
City have not won on any of our last five visits to Boundary Park, managing just one draw in that period. Our most recent win there, in May 1983, proved enough to kep the Foxes in an automatic promotion spot in Division Two, ahead of Fulham, with just one fixture remaining.

MARKSMEN
There have been two hat-tricks recorded in previous meetings. Alan Young, as mentioned above, did it for the Latics in February 1979, whilst Fred Shinton had notched a treble for Fosse at Filbert Street back in November 1909.

DEBUTANTS
Just 7 players have made their Leicester debut against Oldham, but they make an interesting list: Scot Harry Simpson was the first back in 1910; then Dave Buchanan (at the time City's youngest debutant), new signing Bobby Smith and local prospect Gary Lineker all made their bow on the same New Years Day in 1979; teenager Robert Jones thrust into the promotion battle in 1983; record signing Mike Newell in 1987; and, most recently, local defender Richard Smith in April 1990. Buchanan, Bobby Smith, Newell and Jones all enjoyed scoring debuts.

FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS
The smattering of players to have represented both clubs over the years includes Luigi Glombard, Mark Grew, Martin Hodge, Jason Jarrett, Frank Large, Andy Lochhead, Chris Makin, Ian Marshall, Chris O'Grady, Ian Ormondroyd, Tommy Wright and Alan Young.
