Mick 'Papa Chaff' Chaffey 09:33 - Jan 29 with 16653 viewsBrierls

I'm absolutely gutted to post this, but I'm sad to inform you all that Mick 'Papa Chaff' Chaffey passed away last night.

I've written this out a hundred times, but I still can't do the man justice. Mick was the nicest bloke you could ever meet and Dale through and through. Up until recently Mick could be seen at pretty much every Dale game, with his son David (Chaff), and whatever rabble he'd driven to the game this week. Always comically grumpy, always something to moan about, but above anything else always a top top bloke who was great to have in your company.

Cliche central but he will be missed. Massively.

Chaff has asked me to post because so many on here knew Papa Chaff, in fact he's probably given half of us a lift to an away game at some point.

RIP Papa Chaff.

I loved that guy, he was very good to me and it was upsetting to hear the news earlier today. RIP Mick, a top bloke and condolences to the family at a difficult time.


Thanks for the post Brierls, not a easy task.

Always sad to lose one of the faces that you've seen for a large portion of your life. A loss to the Dale family as well the Chaffey family.

Sad news.

Papa Chaff was a great bloke, always positive and with a wicked sense of humour.

It was really good to see him still coming to matches and he showed his illness wasn't going to affect his support for Dale.

RIP Mick.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

Awful awful news. Will always have memories of a genuinely decent man, and some brilliant times with him following The Dale home and away,

Rest In Peace Mick.

RIP Papa Chaff, was a pleasure to know you.

I'll never forget Dagenham away and the great laughs we had on that trip and thanks for stopping at the offy on the way back so Gin & Lilt could be created.

I'll echo that, as I'm sure will many of us who didn't know him. Sounds a top bloke, and a true Daley.

I am not sure if I knew him or not (might have known him by sight or to talk to), but either way I offer my sincere condolences to his family and friends . Let's hope for a Dale win tomorrow in honour of what sounded like an excellent family man, friend and Dale fan.

RIP to a fellow Daley and condolences to family and friends.

I know it's not the usual thing at these sad times but could we have a picture of him here? Like most Daleys we know so many people by sight but not knowing names.

Apologies if I ask too much.
