Neil Edwards was a reserve keeper whose sole appearance for Leeds
was in the 2-1 victory over Barnsley in the ZDS. He was released in
1991 and went on to enjoy a long spell at Stockport before moving on
to Rochdale. He's been a bargain buy for Rochdale and has done much to
maintain one of the best defensive records in the division, and his
contribution was recognised with the award of the captain's armband
during the 2000-01 season.
An early-season knee injury kept him out of much of the 2001-02
campaign, but he returned for the play-off games at the end of the
season as Rochdale were edged out by Rushden. He's continued producing
high-quality performances for Rochdale, with the highlight of 2002-03
being the saves he made in the 4th Round of the FA Cup as Rochdale
claimed the scalp of Gary McAllister's Coventry before going out in a
tight match at Wolves - with Edwards absent injured - in the following
round.
Cheers to Rochdale's programme editor Mark Wilbraham for the photo.
Daniel Williams says: Neil edwards is my uncle and my to be
godfather. I have been 54 of his matches and i am 11 1/4
