Louis Bimpson 13:03 - Nov 20 with 3125 viewsEllDale

Just heard on Football Focus (where Glen Murray was a guest) that Louis Bimpson died earlier this week.
First real centre forward that I remember at Spotland.
RIP.

He was the ripe old age of 92. He was in the first Dale side I ever saw. Doug Wragg was also in that team and he passed away last year.

He was playing in the first Dale game I attended. We were playing Southport and about 10 minutes from the end he dived head first at the Sandy Lane end to head home the winner in a dour 1-0 game. As he landed his chewing gum shot of his mouth and I was amazed to see him fish it out of the sand and put it back in his mouth !

Thanks for the memories Big Louis.

Liverpool observed a remembrance for him before the kick-off against Arsenal. A minutes' applause from a full house and both teams at Anfield was a great tribute.

I was right behind the goals in the Sandy. He must have been about 12 or 15 feet away from me at the time.
