People can be quick to criticise footballers so I thought I would share a little tale with you all.
Last Sunday I was with my boys aged 5 and 7 at Norden Cricket Club. As usual we happily playing a combo of football and cricket when a certain Jamie Allen walked past us. Initially my boys didn't spot him but with some prompting they were soon engaging in conversation when my 5 year old asked him "will you play football with us?" Without delay Jamie agreed and proceeded to spend the next 15 minutes practising passing and shooting with my kids.
As you'd expect they loved every minute and if they weren't fans for life before they are now.
Thanks to Jamie for his time and patience when many others would have made an excuse and simply not made the effort, especially with children so young. The boys both now want Allen 24 on their kits and couldn't wait to go to the game to see their best mate Jamie Allen.
Up The Dale! |  | | |  |

What an excellent story. Full marks to Jamie. That's what "Team Rochdale" should be . | | | |

Who reffed the game? |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

Jamie was probably just happy to have kids of his own size to play with.
In all seriousness, a very heartwarming story: well done! |  | | |

Its a pity that more footballers don't follow JA's example,far to many are self obsessed and haven't got time for anyone unless there's a camera there
Nice story | | | |

Good on him.
Too many footballers wouldn't do that now unless their agent told them to and there was a camera about. | | | |

What a lovely story, well done Jamie. I lived 4 houses down from Paul Scholes when he first became a regular at Utd and he'd have a kick about with the kids in the close, nice guy. There was also a young lad living opposite who played for City and then just faded away, name escapes me, but he was a real miserable sod. |  | | |

What a lovely story, class from Jamie Allen. If he were a Pl footballer he'd make sure the cameras were present. Dale's community present is excellent, this just confirms it, class. |  |
