Upon Swindon's promotion to the Premiership in 1993, their first home match came against Oldham in August - and with both sides expected to struggle, it was an early must-win game. Though the match seemed destined to end as a goalless draw, Oldham stole victory in the final minute with a Paul Bernard goal - and new Town boss John Gorman was famously filmed collapsing to the floor with disappointment as his side conceded the deciding goal. Both sides were relegated at the end of the season.

The first match against Oldham came in 1924, when the sides were drawn together in the FA Cup Second Round, Swindon emerging victorious by two goals to nil. It was forty-two years longer before the sides would meet in the League, with back-to-back games on consecutive days in April 1966, Oldham winning at Swindon, and drawing at home.


 

After the Town lost their first ever match in the top flight at Sheffield United, they faced fellow relegation favourites Oldham in their opening home game, in what was already being billed as a must-win encounter. A 90th minute winner for the away side prompted one of the most famous images of the Town's time in the Premiership.  Includes a preview of the game with John Gorman.

In the relegation zone at the bottom of Division One, Swindon need a victory against Oldham, and they get one - dodgy defending from both sides contributing to a 3-1 scoreline.

Steve McMahon decides to drop Martin Ling for himself for this FA Cup Fourth Round clash - but when McMahon is forced to retire with a hamstring problem, Ling replaces him from the bench, then goes on to net the winner in the last minute.
