Oldham Athletic Director Barry Owen spoke exclusively to 98FM's Now That's What I Call Sport and Johnny Lyons on Sunday morning. He says he is ashamed to be British after the club were forced not to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans due to pressure from the public and sponsors.

Evans has not been able to find a new club after being released from prison after serving his sentence for rape.

Oldham announced that they were going to sign the striker, but pulled out due to huge pressure.

In a rare media interview, Owen says he had lunch with Evans last week and how he deserves another chance.
