Oldham Athletic

Sky Sports is launching a survey to find out the best player ever to wear the shirt of your favourite club. We are asking fans of each of the 92 English League teams and Scottish Premier League sides to nominate their all-time favourite footballers. Your choice may be a star from the past or one of the current crop. Maybe you'll be tempted to select a loyal one-club man or a cult figure. Let us know who you have selected and why. Once we have received all your nominations, we will narrow down the selections for each side to the 10 leading nominees. Joe Royle has just completed a second spell in charge of Oldham Athletic but it is his first stint at Boundary Park that saw the emergence of several Latics favourites. The likes of Earl Barrett, Richard Jobson and Dennis Irwin roll off the tongue when it comes to defensive talismans, while who can forget the legend that is central defender-cum-striker Ian Marshall? Mystery man Roger Palmer remains a cult hero and the club's top goalscorer but is he good enough to fend off the likes of Andy Ritchie and Frankie Bunn, the man who once scored six in one game! And what Royle midfield would be complete without the obligatory Dogs of War? Mike Milligan and Nick Henry take some beating, while Neil Redfearn's stay at Oldham was short but spectacular as he scored a last minute penalty to win the old First Division back in 1990/91. Trilby wearing winger Rick Holden was always a favourite down the left, while in later years David Eyres achieved cult status down the same flank. Upon arriving at the club Eyres helped then boss Ritchie's side beat the drop to League Two, with fellow arrivals Tony Carss and the late Ernie Cooksey also highly regarded amongst the Latics faithful. Former boss John Sheridan was a class act despite arriving in the North West at the end of an illustrious career, while older fans still talk of the likes of Alan Groves, who died tragically young at 29, Bobby Johnston and Bert Lister in reverential tones. To make your selection please complete the form below and tell us why you are putting your chosen nominee forward. Once we have received all your nominations, we will narrow down the selections for each side to the 10 leading candidates. You can then vote for your personal favourite. After all votes are cast we will reveal the winners ahead of the 2009/10 season and crown Oldham Athletic's greatest-ever player!
