Bert Lister (1940-2007) was one of the best goalscorers ever to put on an Oldham shirt. As a centre-forward he would have gone through a brick wall to score with one of his brilliant diving headers. In 1963 he almost broke the all time record for goals in a season and his six goals against Southport on Boxing Day 1962 will always be remembered by Oldham fans. Bert later played for Rochdale and finished his playing career at Stockport County. After football Bert became a part-time taxi driver in Blackpool. He died in July 2007, at the age of 67, after suffering a heart attack.
