OLDHAM will play Swinton Lions at Sedgley Park on Sunday, January 11 (3pm) in a joint testimonial for John Hough and the Lions full-back Wayne English.
 
Hough, a hooker, made Roughyeds history in December, 1997 when he became the first player to sign for the 'new' Oldham club following the liquidation of Oldham Bears.
 
Only two people have been with the club since its inception to the present day - Hough, now reserve team coach, and the current chief executive and former chairman Chris Hamilton.
