Keith Hicks was born in Oldham on 9th August 1954. He signed associate schoolboy forms for Oldham at 15 and signed professional with his home town club in August 1972 making his League debut at 18. After just 3 appearances in his debut season he began the 1972-73 season as first choice in central defence and remained their for 242 appearances scoring 11 goals. He was transferred to Hereford United in September 1980 and made a further 201 appearances in five seasons at Edgar Street, ending his Football League career with Rochdale where he made 32 appearances up to the end of the 1986-87 season.
Hicks then signed for Hyde United but after a short spell at Hyde he was appointed Player-Manager of Mossley on 29th November 1987 shortly after bringing with him his long term friend and team mate Graham Bell as his assistant. A complete change in the Boardroom meant that he was suddenly working under a new chairman and it was no surprise when Hicks and Mossley parted company on 5th September 1988 just six games into his second season. He made 38 appearances for Mossley scoring 2 goals.
Graham Thomas Bell was born in Middleton, Manchester on 30th March 1955 and began his playing career with Chadderton before being signed by Oldham Athletic in December 1973. He quickly established himself as a lively attacking midfielder with good vision and he went on to make 170 appearances scoring 9 goals. He was transferred to Preston North End in March 1979 for a £80,000 fee and he made 143 appearances for the Deepdale club before being given a free transfer in 1983. Then followed a short spell with Carlisle United before a move to Bolton Wanderers where he made 92 appearances scoring 3 goals and his Football League career ended with a 42 game spell at Tranmere Rovers in the 1986-87 season.
Like Keith Hicks he then signed for Hyde United and arrived at Mossley player-assistant manager in January 1988 being signed in exchange for Joe Connor and Walter Nisbett. A very unpopular move with the fans!
When Hicks departed in September 1988 Bell was made Caretaker-Manager and applied for the job. However, form had not improved in seven games in charge but he remained as a player following the appointment of Bryan Griffiths in October 1988. He rejoined Hicks at Hyde at the end of the 1988-89 season after winning a League Cup winners medal with Mossley and having made 83 appearances scoring 6 goals.
Keith Hicks and Graham Bell both amazingly returned to Mossley as players under Les Sutton in October 1991 Hicks making 23 appearances and Bell 27 before both were released by Sutton's successor Ged Coyne in February 1992. Hicks also played for Radcliffe Borough while Bell had a spell with Horwich RMI.

Mark Hilton was born in Middleton, Manchester on 15th January 1960.
He joined Oldham as an apprentice in 1976 and signed professional in January 1978. After 50 league games in midfield for Latics he signed for Bury in July 1981 on a free transfer and was a regular throughout his first season appearing in 34 games. He suffered a broken leg in a Lancashire Cup game in August 1982 against his former club Oldham and appeared in only two games during 1982-83, being granted a free transfer at the season's end.
Hilton then made his mark in the north-west non-league scene playing for Witton Albion and Ashton United (two spells). He signed for Mossley under Bryan Griffiths in August 1989 as a centre half and when Griffiths resigned amidst internal upheaval on 2nd December 1989 Hilton was hurriedly appointed player-manager.
He brought in his brother Mike as his assistant and with the arrival of strikers Paul Bowler and Brendan Burke things started to look up for the once more financially struggling Lilywhites.
The Hilton brothers were retained for the following season but a poor run of results saw the Lilywhites struggling near the foot of the table and following a 3-1 home FA Trophy defeat by Southern Leaguers Atherstone United on 20th October 1990 Mark and Mike Hilton were dismissed. Hilton had made 50 appearances for the Lilywhites scoring 4 goals. He returned then for another spell as a player with Ashton United and then Oldham Town.
Mark Hilton returned briefly to Seel Park as a player in the 1993-94 season during Dave Denby's brief spell in charge and made a further 6 appearances scoring 1 goal.
