10 - THE OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME OF OLDHAM ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB BOUNDARY BULLETIN - 11 KEEPING IT CLEAN... Former Latics goalkeeper Les Pogliacomi discusses the clean sheet record he holds at the club from the 2002/03 season under ’s reign. “Defensively we were a very good unit and it was that year that I got the clean sheet record, but it wasn’t down to me it was down to the defensive unit we had. We had Clint Hill until he broke his leg, Lee Duxbury, Will Haining, and we had decent full-backs as well. “I think that defensively as a unit we were just so well organised so you can’t just put it down the central defenders and I think that it allowed us to be unbeaten away from home for so long and I don’t think we lost two games on the bounce that year.” “We kept 19 clean sheets in total that season and I remember it well and I think somebody equalled it a couple of seasons ago (Connor Ripley) but he did it in 46 and I did it in 37 because I got my first career red card that season as well. But again, it wasn’t all down to me it was down to a really solid defensive unit.”
