Dave Moore was born in Oldham and his love affair with Oldham Athletic began when he was a teenager. His boyhood hero was the late Bobby Johnstone with whom he eventually got acquainted while he was working at Hollinwood Cricket and Bowling Club. Dave attained a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Manchester which led him into a teaching career; firstly in Tameside and eventually in Canada. Dave missed his football in Canada and set up a Canadian branch of Latics supporters in addition to regularly updating two Oldham Athletic websites and playing amateur soccer. Dave is currently planning for his retirement when he hopes to spend time on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, giving him more opportunities to keep a closer watch on events at Boundary Park.
