Vote for best ever Dale XI

At the 437th time of asking, we're trying to find the best ever Dale XI, with one position in the side up for grabs each week. This week, we're looking at the goalkeeper's spot.

Each week, we'll invite nominations on the messageboard for a shortlist of up to ten players for each position, and then we'll stick that online as our weekly poll as we ask you who you feel to be the best player in each position.

We've kicked off understandably with the goalkeeping position, and whilst current incumbent Frank Fielding pictured above isn't listed on the list, there's a whole host of familiar names stretching back almost fifty years on the selected list of nine keepers.

The poll is featured somewhere down the right hand side of the page, probably under an advert telling you that you've won a new Audi yet again.

We'll call the results early next week, when we start asking for nominations for the best ever right back.
