[edit] Career

[edit] Early Career

Before joining Oldham, he played with Barnsley, Sheffield United, and Wigan Athletic. He is the son of Gary Liddell,^{[citation needed]} a former Leeds and Grimsby striker.

Liddell made his league career at Barnsley, making his debut as a substitute against Portsmouth in 1992. In 1996, he helped his team achieve promotion to the Premiership. However he fell out of favour, mainly making appearances from the substitute's bench.

[edit] Wigan Athletic

In October 1998, Liddell made a move worth £350,000 to Wigan Athletic, netting ten league goals in his first season at the club. After helping his team to Auto Windscreens Shield success in 1998, he went on to become Wigan Athletic's Player of the year for the 1999-2000 season.

In the 2001-2002 season, Liddell finished as the club's leading scorer, an instrumental part of the team that would reach the play-offs for a second successive time. During the course of the season, he scored the club's 1,500th league goal and his first career hat-trick against Brighton, before following this up with another in a 4-1 defeat of Cambridge United. He received a call-up from Scotland coach Berti Vogts and attended an end-of-season training camp.

Liddell was Wigan Athletic's longest-serving player when he left them to join Sheffield United in 2004. He played just under 250 games for Wigan, finishing as the club's leading scorer with a tally of 70 goals, four more than that of David Lowe, the club's previous all-time leading scorer.

In his final season for Wigan Athletic he played 38 games and scored 9 goals. When informed his place in the first team for the following season was uncertain, he made a move to Sheffield United, where he played 32 games and scored 6 goals before moving to his current team Oldham Athletic.
