Bionic Dale Player 15:25 - Oct 11 with 8736 viewsAtThePeake

Came across this article on the Gloucestershire live site after reading the link on DDB's thread about Trevor Kettle: http://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/we-re-building-a-bionic-robin-the-best-comp

Thought it would be a good idea for a thread on here about a Dale player. Categories are:

Best left foot
Best right foot
Paciest
Biggest heart
Best brain
Best header
Most vision
Best finisher
Best technique
Greatest leader

Which ten players would make up your bionic Dale player?

Best 'tache - Tony Brown
Best (brightest) gingernut - Eric Snookes
Best Afro haircut - Les Lawrence

Hardest shot is an interesting one. Steve O'Shaughnessy v Northampton, or Peter Vincenti v Newport? Any way of calculating which one from the video coverage?

McEvilly might still take hardest shot in general.

In terms of specific goals, I didn't see Wakenshaw's goal v Halifax as I started watching Dale shortly after, but from what I hear that could be a candidate. O'Shaughnessy's free kick v Scarborough from near the halfway line was ridiculous as well.

Best afro haircut was Leo Skeete, of the horrendous 73/74 side

Poll: What are you planning to do v Newport

tbf, the photo doesn't do his afro justice - must've been trimmed when it was taken

Leo Skeete had a brother called Steve with a similar hairstyle:



Bob Scott from the late 1970s must be high up in the big hair and tache stakes too.

Does anyone remember a player from around this time called Matt Lyons?

He used to coach my Uni team and got chatting to me about Dale once when I was wore a Dale shirt to training. He said he played for us at around that time and I remember him mentioning Leo Skeete and the team being pretty dreadful! Think he also mentioned playing for Hartlepool for a bit too. Anyone remember him?

I'm not a regular scrabble player but surely Jaszczun is worth more than Cykwa!
