This is the story of Oldham Athletic-football club, civic symbol, community lifeline. From the cotton mills of the 1890s to the bright lights of the Premier League and the heartbreak of relegation from the Football League, Always Believe tells the full, unflinching tale of a club that has meant everything to generations of supporters.

Through wars, depressions, promotions and protests, the Latics have stood as more than a football team-they've mirrored the grit, humour and spirit of Oldham itself. From the early rise of Pine Villa to Jimmy Frizzell's reign, Joe Royle's cup runs and Frank Rothwell's fan-fuelled renaissance, this is a chronicle of triumph and turmoil, of hope clung to in the face of history.

Blending sporting narrative with social memory, Always Believe is both a footballing chronicle and a civic memoir-an exploration of how one club came to embody the identity, pride and resilience of a proud Northern town.
