Being a bit of a nerd (OK, more than a bit), I have an Access database with all Dale's results, players and lineups since we joined the league. Don't have birth dates for everyone, particularly in the early years, but it's pretty complete since the War.

I guess I don't mind sharing it, if you're particularly interested. Send me a DM if you are.

Been through the database and the biggest age gap between scorers was from a game against York in February 2002 when Kevin Townson, aged 18, and Richard Jobson, 38, both scored two in a 5-4 win. They were just under 20 years apart as Townson's birthday is 19th April and Jobson's 9th May.

Biggest gap involving Tony Ford looks to be just over 18 years, when he and Gary Jones, then just 23, scored in the same game against Hartlepool in October 2000.

As far as I can see, those are the only two examples of an age gap of over 18 years before, though, so last night's would be the second biggest.
