David Philip Perkins (born June 21, 1982 in Heysham, England) is an English footballer, who plays for Rochdale.

[edit] Career

Perkins started his career with Morecambe, for whom he played 170 league games. In 2007, he moved to League Two side Rochdale. On May 17, 2008 he scored a deflected goal from 30 yards which put Rochdale level on aggregate with Darlington in a semi-final play-off, during which he was later shown a red card. Rochdale went through on penalties.^[1] Rochdale appealed to his red card which was rejected by the FA, meaning he will miss the League Two play-off final against Stockport County at Wembley Stadium and the first four games of the 2008–09 season.^[2]
