Heritage No. 985

Player profile

Scott Ranson signed from Swinton in the Peter Tunks era. making his debut on February 24th 1992 against Ryedale-York at Watersheddings.

St Helens born, Scott played for the local Thatto Heath amateur club, before moving to Station Road. His main attribute was his speed and he was always a thorn in Oldham’s side when playing tor the “Lions”.

He scored some remarkable tries for Oldham, perhaps the most dramatic being a superb effort in the “Divisional” Premiership final at Old Trafford in 1992, which for a short time gave the twelve man Oldham team a scent of victory before going down to Sheffield Eagles. Probably the most vital Ranson touchdown came in the match at Salford on April 1st 1994. The second of his two tries that day came in the final minute to snatch a victory that kept Oldham in the first division and on course for “Super League”.

A place in the club’s history books was assured for Scott when he scored a second half hat trick in the last senior game at Watersheddings on August 25th 1996 in the 34-25 victory, again versus Sheffield the first three try haul by an Oldham player in “Super League”.
