Up-And-Coming Youngster Inks New Deal With Latics

Picked up my dad and sister at the airport yesterday. As a gift for Jack, my dad bought him an Oldham Athletic away kit, with his name on the back of the shirt. This is significant for a number of reasons:

1. The number 3 is equivalent to how many terraces our ground currently has, since the demolition of the Lookers Stand.
2. Given that the Latics have scored just 2 goals in the last couple of months, our squad numbers dont go any higher than 8 any more.
3. It is debatable whether any Oldham player will ever again score 3 times in a game. By the time Jack is old enough to play for the Latics (some 14 years from now), he might be that player.

while i hope Jack plays for Latics, I do hope we have some joy at Boundary Park (or where-ever!) BEFORE that time comes!!
