IKE SOUTHWARD'S 6 TRIES

So Cian Tyrer has become the first Oldham player to score 6 tries in a game since the great Ike Southward in February 1960, a staggering 64 years between drinks. I know some of our older fans remember watching the great team in the 50's, so does anyone remember being at 'Sheddings to witness Ike's double hat-trick all those years ago? I believe the opposition were Walney Central in the Challenge Cup.

I remember the match but couldn't remember Ike's amazing contribution.

I always remember that match for what I think was the only try scored by Ganley the Great, when he was literally carried over the line by team mates.

Great times.

i cant remember the 6 tries by ike,but the crowd was over 8 thousand

I can’t remember much of the game but I remember losing the semi final against hull

Ike, all time great. One you didnt sign him from hornets!
