Twenty years of Hilly!

It was twenty years ago today that a certain Keith Hill made his Dale debut.

His Dale debut was the first game of the Graham Barrow era, and we travelled down to Divisioni 3 stalwarts Swansea City, then managed by Scouse talking Danish international Jan Molby who was sent off during the game.

It's probably not a game that those there will reminisce on regularly but for Hilly's debut, it will forever remain in the history books.

Just for fun, see how many of the Dale team from that day can you pick out from their initials:

1) IG
2) AF
3) KF (DM)
4) AJ
5) KH
6) AF
7) AR (DT)
8) JD
9) ML
10) SW
11) MS (MC)
