The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Excellent 8-)

A great idea. And one that we can all take part in.

Only one No. 1

You guys have done great by Dale. I can honestly say as a KTFC past tense our game against you was the last time i was proud.

Sadly I can't make it over to the D&D tonight or to the match tomorrow, but Dale and his family are in my thoughts today, it'll no doubt be a tough day for George and Isobel, but the true affection so many people had for Dale will, hopefully, ease their pain a little.

Just read all the tributes to Dale from players past and present on Twitter, brought a tear to eye.

I also am unable to get to the club tonight and neither the game tomorrow but I know that all of my friends at AFC R&D will be remembering Dale and also Isobel, George, Evan and all of his close family and friends who have now become a huge part of the AFC R&D family. Dale will always live on in our hearts and will NEVER be forgotten. I can truly say that out of such a dreadful tragedy we have found two of the most warmest of people who have shown so much friendship and love to us all at AFC. I am very proud to call them very special friends. Dale our No.1. - you truly were a very special person.RIP.

Everyone at Wellingborough Town would like to wish you all the very best for your celebration tonight of:

"A very talented and hugely popular and well liked goal keeper".

All the very best tonight everyone and equally good luck in your game away at Buckingham tomorrow.

Take care all.

Thanks Haydn,

Football and rivalries go out of the window at times like this 8-)

RIP Dale, we'll always remember you.
