Host Carl Jones is joined by comedians and Oldham Athletic fans Stevie Gray and Che Burnley to continue the count up the all-time Premier League table as we reach 44th place.
We take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s where schoolboys Che and Stevie were enjoying watching their local team go toe-to-toe with local rivals Manchester United and claiming bragging rights over Manchester City. There were trips to Wembley to enjoy, the goalscoring exploits of a mulleted Ian Marshall to marvel at and a reputation for being everyone's second team, such was their underdog charm.
We cover Oldham's potted history, take a look at where things have gone since, and deep dive into the two Premier League seasons that they're still remembered for three decades on.
Alongside all of that, Che reimagines how the future could have been for Oldham had their promising side of the 1910s not been decimated by World War I and Stevie tells us about his time as a Junior Latic and a VERY memorable encounter with the Aston Villa changing room.
We'll also put a Premier League Oldham Athletic XI into the archives, choosing between the slim pickings for the Premier League's greatest Bolivian of all-time and ending on an Oldham-heavy round of Play Your Apps Right
