I'm starting this to celebrate Matt Done's first of the season! 0-1 Dale. |  | | |  |

I've just looked up their Wiki stats, and if correct, Done's scored 26 goals for Dale against Thompson's 25
Might put some perspective on their records, since Thompson is rightly remembered warmly and most of Done's goals were in L1

Cheers DL (since i don't do twitter!)
If the respective goals scored ratio is based on that, Done should be accorded at least the same respect as Thompson. The latter was a local lad of course, which probably affects some perceptions |  |

Wiki (and Soccerbase) are notoriously unreliable.
The detailed stats are:
DONE
League: 262 apps, 27 goals
Cups: 48 apps, 8 goals
Total: 310/35
THOMPSON
League: 266 apps, 24 goals
Cups: 44 apps, 0 goals
Total: 310/24
Not sure where Wiki gets an extra goal from. |  |

On top of the stats Done brought in a couple of transfer fees. | |

Tbf, Dave Thompson brought in one as well, plus Alan Young.... | |

A Matty Done goal, a rarity indeed.......hope he does n't qualify for another contract extension on the strength of it? |
Of the players out of contract, Matt Done has at least staked a valid claim for another 12 months in the second half of the season!
It won't happen, his reaction after the full time whistle pretty much said as much, but when there was a shift to players who were up for the fight Done was one who stood up.
A fantastic servant to the club who deserves respect, not jibes from a messageboard oddball. |  | | |

Good piont Boro - if previously crossed my mind that Matty's incomings transfer fee's have surely paid for his out goings wages - my reckoning, although I could be wrong, he's paid for himself to play for Dale - if that's correct one can't say that about too many professional footballers. |  | | |

And there he was …. Gone!
Matty Done released.
That sorts that argument out then. |  |

Not sure there was ever really an argument as almost all fans could see reasons why he’d be released with some valid points about retaining him. It was the completely unnecessary digs by a very small minority which were rightly called out. |  |

He'll not be remembered as a legend, but he will be remembered as a great club servant. A stalwart, a great club man. Thankyou Matty for your efforts, we haven't had many better, and we've had 100's worse. |  |

Shoe-in for a future "Curry On Up The Dale" event speaker.
He will be welcomed back with sincere appreciation. All the best for the future, Matt. |  | | |

Agreed. Always gave 100% and played wherever he was picked to play without problems.
We got our moneys worth out of Matty. All the best for the future. | | | |

See him a bit walking his dog around the woods, a la Roy Keane stylee, always seems a very decent chap, guessing he won't be too short of options. | | | |
