Tope Obadeyi - We've Met Before

Paul Caddis's latest signing Tope Obadeyi has played at Edgar Street.

He started for Rochdale, on loan from Bolton at the time, against Hereford in April 2010.

It was Graham Turner's last home game in charge.

'Adam Bartlett made a fine diving save from Dagnall, who connected with a clever pass from Chris O’Grady, and the keeper was again on hand to deny Howarth at the end of a quick-fire passing movement involving Dagnall, O’Grady and Temitope Obadeyi.'

Later in the same game Obadeyi was again mentioned.

'Obadeyi, one of few professional sportsmen mentioned in a Beatles song (well, almost) went on a mazy run and evaded a desperate lunge by Valentine before losing his footing.' 

In the following November Obadeyi was in the Shrewsbury side that defeated Hereford 4-0. Again he was on loan from Bolton to where he returned in the following January.
