Latics were founded as Pine Villa FC in 1895, but four years later
rivals Oldham County folded and Villa moved to their stadium, the
Athletics Ground, to become Oldham Athletic. A meteoric rise saw
them elected to the Football League in 1907, quickly promoted and
runners-up in the First Division in 1914/15. They were relegated in
1923, and it would take sixty-eight years and many traumas before
they finally regained their top-flight status. In a highly
successful period under Joe Royle, Latics reached the 1990 League
Cup final, won the Second Division title in 1991, and a year after
that became founder members of the new Premier League. Division One
has brought much drama, including a period in administration in
2003/04. Tony Bugby, having watched the Latics for the last forty
years as a fan, newspaper reporter during the good times under Joe
Royle and as a club website editor, gives us a potted history of
the club from founding to the present day.
