Peter Madden - still in Rochdale? 14:40 - Sep 30 with 6150 views | borntogo | I almost ran over a bloke in Littleborough yesterday who was, I'm sure, the ex-Dale manager, Peter Madden. He looked older, obviously, but was lithe and manouvred his tall frame with aplomb amid the passing cars. I know he once ran a pub in Smithy Bridge but presumed he'd moved out long ago. Got me thinking: how many other ex-managers and players have remained in the town after their football careers ended? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Still see him round the 'Boro quite regularly. His son used to frequent the Sun Hotel when the Hitman had it. Think Dick Conner used to have the Carters on Spotland Rd. Barry Diamond lives in the 'Boro as well I think. | ![](/images/avatars/1172.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Peter Madden - still in Rochdale? on 18:34 - Sep 30 with 5742 views | Thacks_Rabbits | Pretty sure that a pub in littleboro was run by an ex Maidstone and gillingham goalkeeper but forget the guys name. Think hare and hounds was run by one of the greenhoffs and Michael Oliver has shares in the bookies on Halifax rd. well I say say shares but he virtually lived there. Nice guy though | ![](/images/avatars/1161.gif) |

Iain Hesford- He had three pubs in Littleborough, The Queens, Sun Hotel and the Caldermoor. Absolute top bloke was Iain. Olly had a few demons, but like you say, T.R. was a top bloke. | ![](/images/avatars/1172.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
