After the Town lost their first ever match in the top flight at Sheffield United, they faced fellow relegation favourites Oldham in their opening home game, in what was already being billed as a must-win encounter. A 90th minute winner for the away side prompted one of the most famous images of the Town's time in the Premiership. Includes a preview of the game with John Gorman.
