When Neil Redfearn signed for Dale, he was certainly a player who needed no introduction to Dale supporters. Indeed, if we attempted to summarise his career before coming to Dale, we'd be talking about his thirteen different clubs over several chapters. Needless to say, he had played in all four divisions, and was Boston's top scorer when he left the York Street side club to come to Spotland.

He was brought in by Dale boss Parkin to add a bit of leadership and experience to the Dale side, as we battled against relegation in the final few weeks. It would not be unfair to say that his performances weren't quite the sort of displays that he used to show in the Premiership, and the 39 years had certainly started taking its toll, but the experience brought into the side was just enough to see that Dale secured their place within the Football League.

Despite signing for Dale in March, he was still Boston's top scorer at the end of the season with seven goals.
