A group of football fans want to erect a statue honouring a superfan who left a legacy approaching £250k to their beloved club.
The bequest from David Clough, 78, who died in 2020, will be used to buy a new electronic scoreboard for League One Rochdale.
Fans have started fundraising to build a statue to the legendary Dale fan outside Rochdale s ground.
Mr Clough was an agent for the club s Goldbond lottery for 25 years.
Fan Mark Cryer said it was truly humbling to read about Mr Clough s legacy and hit on the idea of a statue inspired by Spanish side Valencia, who did something similar for one of their supporters.
