"No disrespect to the likes of Grimsby..."

Rochdale!

From Wales Online

On Cardiff defender Roger Johnson's meteoric rise in the City side.

"Twelve months ago the former Wycombe defender was coming up against the likes of Grimsby and Rochdale and, with City still right in the promotion hunt with just 10 games to go, he admits he can't help dreaming of meetings with Manchester United, Chelsea and the rest next season. "

Rochdale Again!

From The Guardian

On Rob Jones's terrific first year at Hibs.

"Hibs opened the scoring when Rob Jones headed a David Murphy corner beyond Alan Combe amid blizzard conditions. The Hibs captain is the sort of player the manager, John Collins, has been forced to turn to amid tight financial constraints. Twelve months ago Jones was a Grimsby substitute during a League Two draw at Rochdale."
