Was a very good friend of my dads, he only lived up the road from me as a kid, met him many times, top bloke and loved the club dearly. RIP Dave. Thoughts with the Bywater family |  |

Stephen played for Burton yesterday, looked like he had a good game too despite the 2-0 result against Forest.
Did the family have Bywaters Travel a few years ago? | | | |

Dave's father Les was a Dale goalkeeper in the 40's. later a policeman who organised the traffic around Spotland on a Saturday in the 50's, and later set up the family coach company.
Knew the family well when they lived in the police houses on Meadway. Dave was a fair keeper himself, played with Leeds and Halifax reserves, I think.
Condolences to the family . RIP | | | |

I'm pretty sure I played against him in amateur football in the early to mid 1960's. If it's the same guy he was a really tall goalkeeper for those days. Well over 6 ft. | | | |

Very sad news. The family have contributed much to RAFC over many years. I remember Dave's presence and coaching at the club.

Top class goalkeeper at amateur level. He played all in black then. Very impressive. | | | |
