Dickov hails winning start
Oldham boss Paul Dickov paid tribute to his players after they gave him a winning start to his managerial career with a 2-1 victory at Tranmere.
Midfielder Dale Stephens, 20, struck in the 27th minute with a fine free-kick which sailed into the bottom corner from 18 yards.
Stephens added a killer second with another fine finish with nine minutes remaining to leave Dickov beaming with delight.
The 37-year-old former Manchester City and Scotland striker said: "The players worked hard and there was a lot of passion out there.
"We got the result we deserved and I am sure we will get better as time goes on.
"It was a good three points for us but we've got to keep our feet firmly on the ground. It is one game out of 46 and we must not get carried away."
