The A62 derby is the name of a football derby that is given to matches played between Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic. The two clubs are separated by roughly 15 miles and are located close to the M62 motorway crossing the Pennines in the historic counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire respectively, making it a traditional 'War of the Roses' clash. Indeed, it took Oldham until 20 April 1974 to record their first victory over Huddersfield, an emphatic 6-0 scoreline at the tenth attempt that more significantly guaranteed the Latics promotion back to the Second Division.
