Huddersfield manager Andy Ritchie is relishing his pending return to Oldham when the two clubs meet in the fourth round of the FA Cup.Ritchie had two spells at Boundary Park as a player, making over 200 appearances and spent three years as Oldham manager from 1998 to 2001.

Ritchie said: "If we weren't going to get one of the bigger clubs, Oldham were the ones I would have loved to have a go at.

"It will be great to go back. There will be a full-house, it's winnable for both sides, so either side could get through to the fifth round and have an even better chance of landing one of the big guns.

"John was my best signing as a manager at Oldham. He came and did a fantastic job and we've known each other for a long, long time. It will be good to pit my wits against him in a cup tie - the cup's a little bit different.

"We've met in the league, when I was at Barnsley and with Huddersfield and there's not much between us. I'm looking forward to it very much."
