The Official History 1907-2001 by Steven Phillipps was a data book- it`s the only one I know of. | | | |

Yes
There are four separate Who's Who books by Steven Phillipps (1907-39, 1939-73, 1973-99, 1999-2016)
Tony Collins, Football Master Spy
Legends of Rochdale AFC, published by the MEN/Observer in 2008
The Official Rochdale AFC Quiz Book (2009)
Spotland: The Sun Also Rises by Mark Hodkinson
366, Rochdale AFC Centenary Year
More In Hope Than Glory (Chris Dunphy)
Darkness and Light (Joe Thompson)
And there's another little one by Mike Brookes, but the name escapes me at the moment and I can't spot it on one of my bookcases.
You may find most of these online somewhere - Amazon, eBay or one of the many old book websites. [Post edited 26 Jul 11:48]

The Official History 1907-2001 by Steven Phillipps was a data book- it`s the only one I know of. |
He also did The Definitive Rochdale AFC, covering 1921-1995. The Official History book was an upgrade on that. [Post edited 26 Jul 12:08]

Whatever happened to Mike Brookes ? Was a staple on GMR and then I think he moved away ? Does he still follow the club ? | | | |

I believe there’s been recent sightings of him sniffing around the club. Not been seen for years before that.
Mind you it was in the club shop so he might have just been returning something. Like a tie or summat.
Makes you wonder… [Post edited 27 Jul 14:13]

Forward With The Dale, by Brian Clough. I think this came out in the early 80s. A short read but a good one. [Post edited 27 Jul 16:34]

I was going to mention that, but the original post said since 1990, so I left it out.
Surprised the author had time to write it while managing his team to European glory.... | |

I remember him. Used to run the Supporters Club, little boke with a beard. Think he served briefly on the Board when Tommy Cannon and his cronies resigned. | | | |

I wonder are there any/many books on Dale pre-90?
Have only come across the Brian Clough book. The Supporters Club Handbooks of the late 50s- mid 60s are a nice repository of club history in themselves but not quite history books in the traditional sense. | | | |

I believe a former Dale "tannoy man" once tried to move to the Lake District (albeit not to retire) rather unsuccessfully
Some poor lad who's name i can't remember was given the job, but booted out when Sweetmore changed his mind... |  |

His dad was little, but didn't have a beard. |
And he had a "little' brother david. Who also had a beard. All three travelled to away games on supporters club buses.
