The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I speak, im sure on behalf of all fans of Rushden and Diamonds when I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the messages being posted, from Cardiff to Liverpool, forums up and down the country are all paying their respects to this truely lovely lad. The pure fact that Andy Carroll as posted Twitter comments and Adam Johnson has released a statement expressing his shock just shows Dale was well loved from all end of the football pyramid. The level of support from the football community, no matter how big the club as restored my faith in English football and how a sport can bring so many people together from all aspects for life! Your message, forum posts, facebook status, tweets etc all make a small difference to help us fans in this differcult time, most so the family, friends and team mates of this talented Lad

R.I.P Dale, Never forgotten

I would just like to second this comment, I think it is truly touching to see how many clubs, football fans and general sports fans across the country, that have sent some lovely comments. And I'm sure that everyone close to Dale would be very appreciative. R.I.P Dale, god bless.

That is the first report I have seen that doesn't try to have a pop at the Terry's and fully appreciates/respects the life of Dale.
