Personal Life
Oyston married his wife, Vicki, in 1964, and they have two sons, one of whom, Karl, was the chairman of Blackpool F.C. until 18 August 2010, when he resigned and also left the Board of Directors of the club. The Oystons divorced in 1982, but remarried in 1988.
On 13 June 2008 a fire broke out at his 13th-century country home Claughton Hall. The fire started in an outbuilding and more than twenty fire-fighters fought the blaze, which they said could have been far more serious had the alarm been raised later.
