Not according to him, City and Oldham RLFC… though he did work for Oldham Athletic…
A lifelong City supporter, Bernard – who was born in May 1941 - watched his beloved Blues from the terraces of Maine Road as a child, watching the Club’s fluctuating fortunes of the 1950s and 60s.
Born and raised in Chadderton, he completed his education at St Gregory’s in Ardwick in 1956 - and after a spell in the cotton industry - Bernard joined his local club, Oldham Athletic, as secretary, before fulfilling a boyhood dream by taking up a key role with his beloved Blues 13 years later.
