A LIFELONG Latics fan has taken his love for the club to the next level.

Martin Thomas’s Chadderton-based firm Optima Cars will sponsor the Man of the Match award for the 2013-14 season.

The player chosen as Optima Cars Man of the Match will win a bottle of champagne and squad members will compete to see who can win the most.

Martin said: “Optima Cars is delighted to be sponsoring the 2013/14 Man of the Match award. As an avid Oldham Athletic fan all my life and as a local dealership based in Chadderton, it’s great to be involved with the club in this way and we look forward to a successful campaign for everyone involved.”
