Too late to organise now but would have been good if a relative of the first player to captain us in a league game. Could have presented something to the O'Connell. [Post edited 26 Aug 2021 11:22]

Had this romantic notion that that first eleven players were all born in the Rochdale area. Just looked up on Wikipedia and 3 were born in the town/Borough. Peter Farrer doesn't appear to have a wiki page. | |

Pity the club couldn't have done some research into this. With the enormous number of staff the club has, it should have been easy. | | | |
