Not necessarily news in itself but apparently he used to play for us in years gone by. Anyone know anything?#
Ex-Bury and U's winger has died
Winger Bobby Dale, who played for Bury and Colchester United in the 1950s, has died at the age of 75.
The Shakers website reports that he passed away last week after suffering with cancer for a long time.
Born in Irlam, Dale joined Bury from non-League Altrincham in 1951, and scored two goals in 15 appearances before moving to Colchester in 1953.
He then made 128 appearances for the U's before his football career was ended by tuberculosis in 1958.
