ATHLETIC are to re-name the Rochdale Road Stand after legendary manager Jimmy Frizzell.
An integral part of the club’s history as a player and manager, Frizzell passed away last month and the decision to honour his name at the ground was taken in conjunction with Trust Oldham.
Athletic chief executive Neil Joy said: "We believe that naming a stand in his honour is a fitting tribute to a true Athletic legend."
