We launched the Association on 27th August 2021 for the match against Colchester United to celebrate the Club’s 100th year in existence.
The night began with meeting up with ex colleagues from the 1960’s up to modern times at hospitality before the match in the 1907 lounge, sharing stories and listening to the exploits of two Dale legends in Shaun Reid and Gary Jones followed by a parade at half time, which brought a rousing response from both sets of supporters. To end a fantastic experience, Shaun Reid presented Aaron Morley with the “Man of the Match”
Legends making an appearance were:
Dave Bayliss, Colin Blant, Dennis Butler, Les Chapman, Barry Diamond, Tony Ellis, Kevin Formby, Wayne Goodison, Gareth Griffiths, Paul Hallows, Keith Hicks, Mark Hilditch, Dean Hill, Keith Hill, Richard Jobson, Gary Jones, Alan Keeling, Tom Kennedy, Lee McEvilly, Steve O’Shaugnessy, Shaun Reid, Billy Rudd, Derek Ryder, Nathan Stanton, Mark Stuart, Brian Taylor, Steve Taylor, Kevin Townson and Scott Warner.
