Not Dale connected, but football followers of the 70s and 80s will clearly remember the balding pate of Middlesbrough and Southampton's David Armstrong, who has sadly died today, age 67.

Actually, though, there is a Dale connection, as Armstrong was unknowingly involved in a very famous EGP skit about our former Commercial Manager, Steve Walmsley, who insisted on getting himself on every team photo!
