Jay Lynch sent off at Fleetwood, James Ball scores for Wimbledon, Josh Andrews on the scoresheet for Accrington, Scott Hogan scores for Birmingham. Joe Rafferty sent off at Portsmouth.
One of the random Facebook posts which come up ever more frequently has pointed out that James Milner's premiership career has lasted longer than the gap between World War 1 and World War 2.
Ian Henderson made his league debut a couple of weeks before James Milner...
Slightly different trivia question (which I don't know the answer to) is when was the last time a Rochdale match day squad didn't include a player who has played under or alongside Keith Hill?

Would think it will be a game when Keohane wasn’t involved.
Since Hill left, McNulty, Dooley, Done and Keohane have been here for most/all of the seasons.

Don't forget Henderson. Hendo only missed two games last season and Keohane featured in both of those. Then the season prior to that you still had the likes of Morley and O'Connell in the squad as well as those you've mentioned, so I think you're going back to well before Hill's first spell as manager to find one.

I don't know the answer either, but can make a guess.
KH played alongside Wayne Evans and Neil Edwards, and managed Matt Gilks, Gary Jones, Lee McEvilly and Grant Holt - between those six, I think all games between KH leaving Dale as a player and being appointed as manager can probably be ruled out.
Soccer base only gives team details back to 1996/97 (the year KH joined Dale as a player). However, Steve Whitehall and Mark Stuart were both still at the club and played alongside Hilly that season. These two were both regulars for the previous five years or so, and there may not have been many (if any) any games missed by both of these.
39 year old, wow...goal scoring defenderr.....it doesn't seem that long ago he was playing as a teenager for Dale and playing in the 1st team. I think it was during the Parkin era when he left.
Matthew Barnes-Homer appointed Assistant Manager of Havant and Waterlooville (possibly still playing as well, was a player/coach at Brackley before moving).
Jimmy Shan is the new first team coach at Huddersfield Town following the appointment of Darren Moore as manager. Mind you, FRMSE had the same role there once!
