Albert Whitehurst scored 124 league and FA Cup goals for Dale.
According to my records Reg scored his 128th and 129th goal on 10 Feb 1973 v Notts County 127 v Bangor FAC 18 Nov 1972 126 v v Walsall 4 Nov 1972 125 v Bolton 21 Oct 1972 47th minute of 2-2 draw
Thats 50 years and 18 days he broke the record!
Cannot vouch for my records being 100% correct of course.
He also scored 2 goals away to Man City in a lancashire Cup replay on 8 November but they have been deemed not to count . Ill have to find out who scored for City but I suspect they were not U21!

But if you're going to keep going on about that, maybe goals scored by players in the FA Cup and League Cup against weakened opponents shouldn't count!
Did other clubs playing in the Lancashire Cup fill their teams with senior players? Did Dale? What about other regional competitions? Did every club get the chance to compete in them?
At the end of the day, the Lancashire Cup does not count as a national, senior first team competition.
And Henderson has scored a massive ONE goal against an U23 side (Sunderland) in the EFL Trophy. His other three goals are against the first teams of Bury, Accrington Stanley and Salford City.
Both players are great Dale strikers playing in different eras. Let's just celebrate that fact, shall we?

I think if you read my posts from last night I have been doing just that.
A wonderful achievement by a wonderful servant of the club and it was a pleasure to see it happen.

Do you have the respective splits for goals scored while at League 1 and 2 level for the two of them, out of interest?

Yes, but it will be later tonight/tomorrow before I can get onto it.
EDIT: Reg will have more in the fourth tier as he made a lot more appearances for Dale at that level. Plus he got to play against the likes of Bradford Park Avenue over-21s.

Just short of 50 years then....not a bad record our Reg.
It's got to be one of the longest standing highest goal scorer records in the league.
I wouldn't have thought so. You have to remember that they scored a lot more goals in the past. Just to pick a few at random - the records for Villa, Everton and Leicester were set in the 1930s, for example.
Our own Albert Whitehurst scored 82 of his goals in just two seasons (86 games) between 1926 and 1928. I doubt his one season record of 46 will ever be beaten.

Absolutely and where does one stop in judging the worthiness of the achievement? How many winning goals, how many goals that earned us a point, how many consolation goals. How many braces and hat tricks, how many penalties how many headers, how many right foot, how many left foot how many from inside the 6yd, 18yd boxes or outside the area. How many when the team were down to less than 11 players. End of the day Mr Ian Henderson has scored the more competitive goals for Rochdale than any other player and well bloody done to him. Glad to have invested £10 to watch the game on IFollow

Here you go James. 30 minutes of joy where you can answer all your own questions.
After the turbulence of the last three years on and off the pitch last night was probably the first time since the Newcastle home game that we've genuinely had something to be beaming about leaving Spotland and as a fan base we needed that.

Agreed 100%.
By my reckoning James, Hendo has scored 94 goals with the right foot, 13 with his head, and 23 with his left foot.
If any player is reading, can you get it into your head that being able to use both feet makes you a better player.
It's a bug bear of mine. Pro players should be able to kick a ball with either foot. Sadly, many can't.
1. Chesterfield take a right hammering! 2. Calvin Andrew really was a nuisance
Until the last couple of seasons, Calvin Andrew was a vital member of the squad whose contributions were often overlooked.
Watching that video, the Spurs game may never have happened without him. Didn’t realise how good his run and cross was against Millwall for Henderson’s winner. A fine servant and a very good lower league player.
Joe Bunney was another who stood out through those highlights.

Absolutely but it takes practice and determination to forge those neural pathways to the point where using both feet feels natural. Thank you for ascertaining those figures. Now does anyone know the percentage of goals Big Reg scored with his non dominate foot?

No, that sort of information isn't available from Reg's era, James.
What I can tell you, though, is that Henderson has scored 0.76923076923076923....% of his goals against U21 sides.

Jenkins (like Ricki Lambert) had a thunderbolt of a shot that keepers always struggled with. Hendo the archetypical fox in the box with great posiotional sense. Interesting him recalling in his interview when he started as a winger or midfielder. Nice to see Hill getting a credit too.
