Apart from the grainy footage of the League Cup final surely that has got to be the earliest video of Dale, certainly in colour. I recognise Billy Rudd (4) and Reg Jenkins (10) but not exactly sure about the others. Pity they did not show a bit more of the game.

Yes.
11th January 1969. The goal on this video is one of a hat-trick by No. 9, Terry Melling.
Melling scored 5 in 3 games and then sold to Darlington, to fans bemusement…until it became clear it was to make way for Tony Buck. And what a signing he was.

Yorkshire TV covered the April 1979 game between Barnsley and Dale at Oakwell. The narrative they wanted to run with was a celebration of Barnsley's promotion under Alan Clarke but Doug Collins strollers tore up the script and won three nil. I saw the TV highlights at the time but fear that tape has been lost.

All three scored in a purple patch in the second half. Think it was 1-1 at halftime thanks to Whitehead’s goal just before the break but Bradford had been the better team for much of the first half. You could see the confidence visibly drain from them though as the goals went in.

I have never almost felt a sense of shame support Rochdale during the re election struggles. I don’t think others did either. So can agree with the chap in the early minutes of the piece. It was a real hard job for managers in the lower reaches of the game back then. Although their modern counter parts get less time to turn things around.

Wasn’t Vinny Leech number four?
I stand corrected! Even though he is way before my time I had assumed for some reason that he was the captain and wore number 4 usually. Not sure why.
Can you identify the other players on the video?
I would also love to see that video of the Barnsley game. I remember seeing in the paper that it was going to be on the weekly highlights programme but it was not shown in my region (down south) much to my disappointment.

Did Kevin Hector (later Derby and England) play in this match for Bradford? Sure he was a P.A. player, have argued many times against people claiming him for Bradford City.

Hector did not play in this game as he left for Derby in 1966 after 176 games and 113 goals for Park Avenue
