Moving things back to football...
One of the ideas for a podcast topic that we've had is to talk about players we'd have loved to have seen in a Dale shirt, so for some inspiration I thought I'd ask - if you could have signed one player from an opposition team, who would it be? (Trying to keep it as realistic as possible, I don't think Harry Kane was about to jump ship from Spurs).
Kevin Ellison has to be up there for me. I remember when he signed for Morecambe my Dad said we should have gone for him but I told him he was too old. 9 years, 340 appearances and 81 goals later I think I've been proven wrong. Always got under the skin of opposition players and fans, could play in a few different positions and seemed to carry a constant threat, even in his advancing years.
On the other end of the scale - which players are you glad we never signed? I remember being quite heavily linked with both Tes Bramble and Shaun Harrad in the past only for both to sign for different local sides and neither quite lived up to expectations. Expensive bullets dodged on both occasions I think. |  |

Certainly one player who on the strength of performances at Spotland that tore us apart on the night was Junior Bent playing for Huddersfield in a F.A cup replay if my memory serves me well.
Another young player who impressed me was Jason Puncheon when playing for Barnet ,no surprise that he went on to have a pretty reasonable career.Ironically now plying his trade at Paphos in Cyprus just a stones throw down the road from where I spend much of my retirement |
Yes I remember the game were Junior Bent created havoc down the wing. I thought he'd go on to greater things but I don't think he did really. |  | | |

Going back to another thread he was a a one hit wonder. | | | |

Spent a few years playing for Bristol City after leaving Huddersfield,but agree that night he looked like a world beater | | | |

Keith used to talk wistfully about Gary Roberts, a player constantly just out of reach but always seemed to play well against us, irrespective of club. |  | | |
