Roger Palmer (footballer)
Roger Palmer (born 30 January 1959) is an ex-footballer. He played for Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. He is the all-time leading goal-scorer at Oldham.

Roger was an undemonstrative player, and a quiet and modest man off the field.

Roger's career culminated in a superb run of success for Oldham, including appearances in the League Cup final at Wembley and FA Cup semi-finals. In his testimonial season (1990-1991), Oldham won the then 2nd Division championship and rejoined the elite of English football.

Since his retirement from football, he has been reclusive but he is remembered with fondness in Oldham.

Roger has been living on the Racecourse Estate in Sale, Greater Manchester, since retirement. He played the odd game for local community centre and a couple of Sunday games for local pubs.

The Latics fans demonstrate their reverence for Roger in their chant "Ooooh, Roger Palmer, oooooh, Roger Palmer, ooooh Roger Palmer".

The Latics have attempted several times to contact Roger but to no avail. 'Where is Roger Palmer?' went round Boundary Park several times and still goes today.

on 1 January 2008, the BBC sport website put out an appeal for information on Roger's whereabouts, ahead of the Oldham vs Everton FA Cup Third Round tie. The teams last played in 1990, with Palmer the only player whose whereabouts are unknown. [1],
 
I liked him as a City player the closest player of the last few years would be someone like Ishmsel Miller, although I do remember that at one point the manager(forget which)wanted ti turn him into a CB!
 
he used to go out of his way to chat to fans outside maine rd, he allways had a paper with him looking at the horses after training quality guy who loved city
