Oldham Athletic hold out hope of Manchester United icon Paul Scholes winding down his career with them.
Scholes is a regular at Oldham games and confesses being a huge Latics fan.
Oldham chief Alan Hardy told the Daily Mail: "He's been coming to Boundary Park on a regular basis for a number of years. He knows he's always welcome and can have a cup of tea in the boardroom whenever he's here, but he tends to decline that invitation.
"He likes to stay in the background; he's not one for the limelight and we respect that. He's quite happy with his boys, sitting in the stand behind the goal, in a pair of jeans and a baseball cap.
"It would be wonderful if he could finally play for us one day but whether it'll happen or not, I'm not sure."
