What was your first ever Rochdale game? on 19:46 - Nov 28 with 8805 views | Huddersdale1 | Dale 1 Barnsley 1 in the 1966/7 season, I think:-the World Cup that summer had got me into football, so I pestered my Dad to take me to a game. Some fighting outside the ground after the game I recall. | | | |

What was your first ever Rochdale game? on 19:52 - Nov 28 with 8792 views | fitzochris | It was 1988 and I’m sure it was a win against Exeter. I seem to remember my dad saying we’d played a load of games against Burnley prior to it. We won the next few home games I attended after that, too. Little did I know what was in store after that. | |

What was your first ever Rochdale game? on 20:02 - Nov 28 with 8769 views | finberty | Dale v Wrexham early i the 85/86 season, Steve Taylor's golden season. Frank Gamble for the winner after some shenanigans with the Wrexham keeper, causing their manager to run onto the pitch to protest. Dale went top of Div 4 that day and I was hooked. TVOS will correct me but if I'm guessing: Redfern, Johnson, Grant, McMahon, Cooke, Hicks, Thompson, Taylor, Moore, Seasman, Gamble. | | | |

I have. We were 1-0 down, then missed a penalty five minutes from time. Fortunately, the referee ordered a re-take and Flounders scored this time. | |

Since you've asked... We went tenth after that game! We had been top on 7th September after beating Peterborough 2-1, but had slipped to mid-table by the end of October. It was one of the most bizarre games ever. Gamble's winner shouldn't have been allowed as he punched the ball out of the keeper's hands, but refs weren't cheats against Dale in those days like they are now. The winner caused Wrexham's manager to kick over our trainer's bucket (a bit like Mourinho last night), but in his defence he returned with a new one the following season. Steve Taylor scored two penalties; one went through a hole in the net and was initially disallowed, before said hole was pointed out. Wrexham also scored a penalty and their second was an own goal by Paul Heaton! Dale were 1-0 up, 2-1 down and then 3-2 up. Gamble's winner came in the 72nd minute. 10/11 for your team. Paul Heaton played instead of Ian Johnson. Barry Diamond also came on as sub for Thommo. | |

Thanks TVOS. More evidence of failing mems by mixing up games again. I remember racing home in time for Des Lynam to comment on a little club like Dale being top, so my first was obviously Peterborough, but my first memorable one was Wrexham for the reasons you mentioned. Happy with 10/11. Odd that I would be unable to do that for any game this season... | | | |

Gamble scored twice against Posh, but his keeper shenanigans were v Wrexham. | |
