Joseph "Joe" Dale (born July 3, 1921 in Northwich , † September 11, 2000 ibid) was an English football player .

Career

Dale played for Witton Albion in the Cheshire County League until the summer of 1947 , before moving to Manchester United in the Football League First Division . There he made his first division debut due to numerous injuries as a substitute for the Scottish international Jimmy Delaney on September 27, 1947 in a 1: 2 away defeat against Preston North End and also worked as a right winger a week later in the 1: 1 draw over 45,000 spectators in the home game on Maine Road against Stoke City .

Dale did not come to any other competitive appearances for United and in April 1948 he moved to third division Port Vale for a transfer fee of £ 1,000 . Dale played nine league games for Port Vale in the following months, but was unable to gain a regular place and returned to his former club Witton Albion in October 1948. Witton paid a league record transfer for Dale and dominated the Cheshire County League in the following years. In 1949, 1950 and 1954 the club won the league championship, and Witton reached the main round of the FA Cup for the first time in the 1948/49 season , a success that could be repeated in four of the following five seasons. Dale played for Witton until September 1958, during which time he scored 167 tarts in 351 competitive games. From the summer of 1959 he worked as an assistant coach at league rivals Northwich Victoria .
