Perhaps its apt on the day that we host Stockport at the Crown Oil Arena that we announce our first speaker for the Curry Night as Dale legend Lyndon Simmonds.
The former Leeds youth player was brought to the Club by Eddie Gray and he had an immediate impact at the Club scoring ten times between making his debut in February and the end of the season. Those goals were pivotal in ensuring that Dale avoided the drop in that first season of automatic relegation from the Football League. Unfortunately, his career was ended prematurely through injury in the Summer of 1988 meaning that he had played his last game at just 21 years of age. That short spell was enough to cement his place in the Club’s history and in the hearts of the supporters forever more.
