Season summary

When Joe Royle quit as Oldham manager to take over at Everton in November 1994, Sharp took over as player-manager at Boundary Park and they finished in midtable in the 1994–95 season – a disappointing showing for a side who had retained all but one of their key players (Mike Milligan) from the side that had been relegated from the Premier League and reached an FA Cup semi-final. Season highlights were a 3-1 win over local rivals Bolton Wanderers that ultimately cost their neighbours automatic promotion, a 4-1 hammering of promotion chasing Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day and a 1-0 victory over eventual champions Middlesbrough.
