Rochdale Fan Tribute

I think that's such a thoughtful thing to do.

Graham Berry was a legend in my time and I speak to my boys about him (and radio man) etc.

I wonder whether Graham's family realise that his memory lives on in places like here and when fans of a certain vintage get together. I hope so.

The love for him was Blackpool fans at our best; I don't know of any other fan who have their own chant; be nice to resurrect occasionally if only to spark the conversations for fans who will have no idea who we are talking about.

His mum came to the fist game(I think it was) after he passed away , she was in bits as you’d expect when the whole ground started chanting “theirs only one Graham Berry “
i cant imagine a more devoted or passionate fan than him at any club although David clough seems to be on a par,the pool we’re Graham’s life & imagine him seeing us get promoted to the premiership!
hopefully his family who are left now follow the pool & know all about his love for the club

I love this, well done Rochdale.

we honour players and managers but it really is fans like David Clough who make clubs, more should do this and follow this example.

I loved seeing Graham and hated people who took the piss, fortunately the majority took him to their hearts

I think most of us took him to our hearts and also took the piss ( in a good way if that makes sense)

I was at Claremont juniors with Graham, he was a great kid, strong as a bloody ox. Those were the days before special needs kids were whisked off to special schools.

As kids me and my mates used to call Graham "strider" as he walked to work down Warbreck Hill. He could cross Warbreck Hill Road in like 3 strides I kid you not. We always shouted UP the POOL to him and his arm would go up and he's shout it back. Fond memories.
