Leighton McGivern
Apparently, Coley is very interested in Leighton McGivern - a 21-year-old striker who has been released by Rochdale. Anybody know owt about him?

Re: Leighton McGivern
He's only ever started two games for Rochdale but has made 28 appearances coming off the bench. He's only scored one goal in that time but is described as a 'promising talent' by many.
His only goal was in Rochdale's 3-0 away win at Wycombe last season - that goal coming just minutes after he came on as a substitute. He was at Vauxhall Motors prior to signing for Rochdale in summer 2004. He played (may have made his debut) for Rochdale in the friendly with Stanley last season. Only played one game for Vauxhall Motors but scored in that game and before that he was at Kidsgrove and was top scorer for a team called Waterloo Dock. That's all I can find about him.

Re: Leighton McGivern
Thanks for that, Adam. I've been mooching around looking for info, too, and apparently, he's picked up 6 yellow cards. Still, I'm sure he'll be a lot more level-headed under Coley's calming influence!

Re: Leighton McGivern
I heard that he is pacey small forward, who "puts himself" about. He works very hard and is always causing problems for the opposing team. Apparently he has a very sweet left foot according to the Dale fan I work with...He is also from Liverpool.

Re: Leighton McGivern
Evil will stay I think, this guy will be a good backup and we will now have 4 strikers competing for a place in the starting XI which can only be a good thing as last year we only had 2 strikers and hardly ever could bring a striker off the bench.......

Re: Leighton McGivern
He never quite showed enough at Rochdale to warrant a new contract. When he was brought in it was with one eye on the future, obviously Parkin feels that he's never going to be good enough. To be fair i don't think he played enough for me to give a good opinion on him, most of his appearances were for less than 10 minutes. His goal was quite nice though!
