Latics should steer well clear - candidate

LIBERAL Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Oldham East and Saddleworth Richard Marbrow said it would be a mistake for Oldham Athletic to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Mr Marbrow said: “Oldham Athletic should not sign Ched Evans. Like many people I spent Boxing Day watching a live football match in the lower leagues with members of my family. The ground was packed with kids and they idolise and adore the players.

“A convicted rapist is not a good role model for kids to see on a football pitch at a family-oriented club.

“This is the last thing Oldham needs to be associated with. Oldham Athletic should steer well clear.”
