Ramsden was originally brought to the club on a free transfer in January 2006 from Grimsby Town on a free transfer on the final day of the transfer window as Dale struggled to replace Wayne Evans. Several options in the form of Jamie Clarke, Warren Goodhind and Gary Brown had been tried but it remained a problem area for Dale.

His debut game in the infamous away game at Oxford in which half the Dale side were making their debut as then manager Steve Parkin had his last throw of the dice to prevent our slide down the table towards the relegation battle beneath.

Whilst the other debutants that day soon lost their way, it was Ramsden who proved to be the pick of the signings, going on to establish himself at Spotland over the next four years making perhaps as many appearances as any other player at the club during this period.

When fans talked about Ramsden, the same words tended to be used: solid, reliable, dependable. Even those who weren't particularly enamoured with the former Sunderland player wouldn't go beyond "unspectacular" in their criticism of him. Without doubt, Ramsden was a good League Two full back. Sorry, a good, solid, reliable, dependable League Two full back.

Ramsden chalked up over a hundred appearances during his time at Dale, and even though there was a couple of occasions where he lost his place in the side, first of all to Gary Brown, and latterly to Scott Wiseman, he worked hard to successfully win his place back in the side.

And it wasn't just his place that he won back in the side. He often found himself playing as a makeshift central defender, and whilst you could see it wasn't his natural position, he never let anyone down whilst playing there.

He left Spotland in June 2009, turning down an option in his contract for a further twelve months at Dale to sign a two year contract with fellow League Two side Bradford City - move which sparked a mini war of words between the managers of both clubs.

Comments from Dale boss Keith Hill suggested that we couldn't compete with the terms offered by Bradford. Those words were met with fury from Bantams boss Stuart McCall who denied that Ramsden's deal was an increase on those he was on at Dale followed by more verbal sparring between the two clubs.
