Made my day
at 13:49 5 Feb 2021

I don’t post on here as much as I used too but I always read the comments and had to post because something just made my day. Wow sometimes life just surprises you.

I made a comment on a social media post nearly a year ago about one of my greatest footballing idols. This guy inspired me as a footballer. He didn’t play for your fancy Manchester United’s or Liverpool’s but for my home town and team I support (Rochdale)

Growing up, like many others I followed Rochdale all across the country. I saw players come and go and we have had some club legends and players that went on to great things. This guy stood out to me for a few reasons. He scored some of the best goals I have seen by a player in a dale shirt and also had a striking resemblance to me (well the other way round as he is older than me). We both had blond curtains and apparently I played with a similar style and had a decent left foot. It was because of this that my football friends gave me the nickname peaky. That nickname has stuck with me to this day.

Today Jason Peake commented on my post. It may seem insignificant in a world where your a celebrity if you take a selfie and post it on Instagram, but to me it absolutely made my day.

Rochdale football club is so special. There is something about this club. We are a family club and players who have been her past and present seem to understand it. If any player happens to read this, don’t underestimate what impact you can have on someone.
