The history of Oldham Athletic A.F.C. football (soccer) team began in 1895. ==1895–1923: Early success==
The club was formed in 1895 as Pine Villa F.C. before renaming to Oldham Athletic in 1899. Attaining professional status in same year, the Latics played in the local Manchester leagues before gaining entry into the Football League Second Division in 1907. Unlike many clubs, Oldham adapted to their new league status well, finishing in third position in their first league season, missing out on promotion by only two points and boasting an unbeaten home record. After another high finish the following season, the club gained its first ever promotion, finishing ahead of Hull City by virtue of a superior goal average. In their first ever top flight campaign the Latics again adapted well, finishing in seventh position. After a narrow escape from relegation during the 1911–12 season, the club recovered to reach the FA Cup semi-final in 1913 and achieve a high mid-table finish, followed by a top four placing in the 1913–14 season. The outbreak of the First World War coincided with the Latics' best ever league season – the club finishing runners up to Everton after losing their final two games of the 1914–15 season. Unfortunately for Oldham, the outbreak of war in Europe forced the domestic English league to be suspended in 1915, and by the time it resumed in 1919, many of the players who had taken the Latics to the brink of the championship had either retired from football or been killed during the war. From this, the club never really recovered and, after battling valiantly against relegation for several seasons, the inevitable relegation finally arrived in 1923 – the club's last top flight game coming away at Cardiff City – a game that would prove to be their last top flight game for 68 years.
