Does anyone remember...? 13:24 - May 21 with 324 views

Calvin Symonds played one game for the club, it was on 15th September 1955. Calvin is 92 now and still living on Bermuda where he was born in 1932. He was the first black player to represent the club. I was lucky enough to meet him recently, he's a lovely gentleman, and he still has fond memories of his time in Rochdale:

I have recently updated his Wikipedia page and you can read about him there is you want to know more:

If anyone remembers seeing him play (unlikely) I would love to hear from you.
