Other half kindly bought me a framed print of Dale shirts through the ages which is really cool, classic kits by goodteamonpaper if anyone is wanting one.
Just thought as a bit of fun would see if we could work out the squad numbers/likely players for the pre squad number days.
I know a fair few but thought 1 answer only each would be good, or else tvos will do the lot 😂😂😂
I would post a photo but I am clueless so.....
34 - 39 number 5
61 - 63 number 4
68 - 69 number 9
77 - 79 number 3
79 - 80 number 6
86 - 87 number 10
91 - 93 number 2 (Pretty sure this was Andy Thackeray)
93 - 94 number 12
95 - 96 number 11
98 - 00 number 18
02 - 04 number 16
07 - 08 number 15
13 - 14 number 22
14 - 15 number 40
17 - 18 number 31
Be interesting to see if they are random or chosen as out stand out players, I am guessing the former!
Have fun guys and girls.
Cheers Thacks |  |

fthere were ni allocated numbers until late 1980s or early 1990s.
each week 1 to 11 were on the pitch to start and 12 was the sub so question is irrelevant fir those first few. |  | | |

I don't think we had many players in the 1930s who stuck around very long. The only one I can think off is one called Duff (forgotten his first name) and I believe he continued to work for the club after the war for quite a while in various capacities.
Did players actually have numbers on shirts before the war in the League? The odd pictures I have found on Google suggests even the bigger clubs did not appear to do it so it would be odd for us to be different. |  | | |

Could be Buck bearing in mind he signed almost 2/3 rds of the way through that season.
The 34-39 could be Ted Goodier ? [Post edited 2 Jul 2019 10:33]

Terry Melling ! That's a blast from the past. They don't make centre forwards like him anymore. I remember him making his debut against one of the Bradford teams in a 6-0 win. He was the only forward not to score ! | | | |
