Reginald Jenkins (7 October 1938 – 29 January 2013) was an English footballer who played as an inside forward in the Football League between the 1950s and 1970s.[1]
Jenkins was born in Millbrook, Cornwall. After short spells with Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City, he joined Torquay United in the 1961–62 season,[2] and went on to make 88 league appearances for the Gulls.[1]
He joined Rochdale in 1964–65 and went on to play for them for nine seasons.[1] He became Rochdale's record goalscorer, scored 119 league goals for the club,[3] and made 305 appearances a then record, surpassed a year later by Graham Smith.[4] In 2004, he was voted Rochdale's greatest-ever player by the club's fans.[5]
While recuperating from a knee operation in Tenerife, Spain, Jenkins died in January 2013 at the age of 74.[6]
A year after his death, in February 2014, his home-town club, Millbrook, renamed their ground in honour of Jenkins.[7] The ground, formerly known as Mill Park, is now officially referred to as Jenkins Park. In October 2016, the club renovated the main stand to reflect the name change.
