Latics in safe hands

Oldham boss Paul Dickov is convinced that goalkeeping coach Paul Gerrard will prove a success at Boundary Park. Gerrard began his career with the Latics and has returned to the club on a part-time basis almost 14 years after leaving to join Everton. Gerrard, who won 18 England under-21 caps, also played for Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United and had loan spells at Oxford, Ipswich and Blackpool. Dickov said: "Paul was a fantastic keeper as I know from playing against him and also having him as a team-mate at Blackpool. "Paul has played at the highest level and fits into what I want in having people here who are young and hungry. "Goalkeeping is a specialised position and I am sure our keepers will benefit from working with him."
