10 September 1966: Colin Todd, 17-year-old midfielder, makes his debut for Sunderland against Chlelsea in the First Division.
Darlington made a poor start to the 2009–10 season, and having picked up just one point from eight league games, Todd agreed with chairman Raj Singh that he would leave the club if they failed to win their ninth game against Grimsby Town.
On 20 May, it was announced that he was returning to Darlington as chairman and has appointed former Middlesbrough boss Colin Todd as manager.
Famous people to have lived in the village have been footballers David Meyler Chris Turner, Thomas Sorensen and Colin Todd, plus singer Bryan Ferry.
Singh, together with previous owner Houghton, were confident enough to appoint manager Colin Todd in the interim period, as well as sanctioning contracts for a new playing squad.
