Oldham Athletic 1989-90.

Frankie Bunn knocked in seven goals in a Littlewoods Cup tie. They beat West Ham 6-0 in the Littlewoods Cup semi-final first leg.

Then in the FA Cup they beat Everton after an epic Fifth Round trilogy and stuffed champions elect Aston Villa 3-0 in the Sixth Round before THOSE semi-finals against Manchester United, soundtracked by the Strangeways riots and Step On by the Happy Mondays.

Joe Royle was THE MAN.

Andy Ritchie was the laughing goalhanger. Mike Milligan driving the midfield. Rick Holden the laconic yet devastating presence on the left wing. Earl Barrett blocking up the middle. Denis Irwin. Ireland could have had Denis Irwin instead of Chris Morris playing at right-back at the 1990 World Cup.

Paul Warhurst!

They would have won the second division by a street if not for the 27 extra Cup games they had to play and they did win it by a street the following season.

Boundary Park on Ye Olde plastic pitch was a fearsome place but this team could play it on any surface.

West Ham won the return leg 3-0 but please continue…

They really stuffed it to Oldham that night.

This must be the greatest starting X1 ever assembled

That’s some team on paper.

Stam and Dida??

Stam was a fine player. Knows a pair of busy cunts when he sees them and happy to call out Banquo for tapping up.

Wes Brown? Doesn’t exactly compare to Cafu.
