As part of their 125-year celebrations, Oldham Athletic AFC wanted to commemorate one of the most successful periods in the club’s history and commissioned Shropshire-based sports artist, SPARKIUS to create an original commemorative artwork.

Signed by the great man himself, Joe Royle, the artwork features club legends Andy Ritchie, Roger Palmer, Ian Marshall and of course, Joe Royle, with a packed Lookers Stand providing the backdrop.

With the help of long-term supporters and club sponsors McQuillan Boiler Services, the artwork is available for supporters to buy from the Club Shop as a Limited Edition Collection of 125 Prints.

Steve Parker, the artist, has captured the mood of the era superbly and the finished article would be a great addition to your home, pub or office alongside making it a fantastic Christmas present for your Latics loving friends or family.

Andy McQuillan, Director at MBS (McQuillan Boiler Services) is delighted to be a part of the project and said: “As a business and a family we have been supporters and sponsors of Oldham Athletic for many years and although the business is now located in Rochdale, it was founded on Sharples Hall Street, Oldham in 1989.

“Also as season ticket holders it’s always nice to be able to help in any way possible and when I saw Jamie asking for sponsorship to fund the artwork I was more than happy to lend our support, especially for something which will help remember our 125th year.”
