George Elokobi returns to one of his old clubs when Maidstone visit Oldham on Saturday. Elokobi spent the 2014/15 season with the Latics after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers.

While the Cameroonian ex-defender is synonymous with the old gold of Wolves, he also has fond memories of his time at Boundary Park.

The Stones caretaker boss can look forward to a good reception after hitting it off with the Oldham crowd. “It’s a club I know well,” said Elokobi. “Yes, I love those fans.

They gave me a good year at Oldham and I was well-supported by the football club. “I helped a few youngsters shoot up into the pro scene. “My role there wasn’t just about playing on the football pitch. “It was also about representing the community and I did that emphatically. “It was good to have that relationship with the Oldham faithful. “I’ve got fond memories of the place and hopefully we go there and give a good account of ourselves.” Oldham, a former Premier League club, were in League 1 during Elokobi’s time there but a rough few years saw them drop out of the EFL at the end of last season.
