The 2011-12 campaign delivered a season of spirited consolidation for Oldham Athletic as The Latics finished a respectable 16th in League One. Leading the charge was the charismatic veteran forward Shefki Kuqi, whose 11 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on grit and an impressive FA Cup run that saw them force a replay against rivals Liverpool. It was a resolute year that marked a period of stability in the third tier and remains a defining chapter for the Boundary Park faithful.
