October 12:

It's a happy 43rd birthday to the most famous man in Cleckheaton, Danny Cadamarteri. He was born on this date in 1979 to a Jamaican father and a mother who was from the Dewsbury ice cream family, who made the best ice cream ever. Their famous parlour in the town was ace. My best childhood memories are of visits there. Marvelous. 

Founded in 1902 by John Cadamarteri, it was situated near the old Dewsbury bus station, but was sadly demolished by idiotic Town Hall planners in the early 80s to make way for the monstrosity known as the Princess of Wales Precinct. What an abomination and it's been downhill ever since for the town that is now a complete shithole. So much so that even McDonald's have deserted it.

Anyway, many generations down the line, Danny the Cad left Cleckheaton to go play at Everton, making his debut as one of the youngest ever players in the Premier League at 16 years old. He scored goals as well, including one against Liverpool in the derby match at Goodison.

But then he took on the Tour de Yorkshire, taking in Bradford City, Leeds Urinals, Sheffield Utd and back to the Manningham Tip for a second go. It was then that his career hit the buffers. He was done for drugs and had to serve a six month ban from the game and when he started up again, he was down in the Conference with Grays Athletic.

He soon made it back up again though, signing for Leicester in the Championship. But then came his dream job. Signing for the best club in Yorkshire, Huddersfield Town. He scored his first Town goal in a 2-0 home win against Luton Town in September 2007 and followed that in the next game by scoring what looked like the winner against Nottingham Florist. The dozy pillock though, took his top off, forgetting he'd already been booked and had to do the walk of shame. What's worse, the Trees equalised when we were down to ten.

In November 2008, he wrote his name in Huddersfield Town legend with a mazy dribble that set up Michael Collins for an injury time winner against Leeds at the Beeston Skip in our centenary season.

He then went for a go at the Scottish Premiership, signing for Dundee Utd and scored a couple on debut against Hearts. But after a couple of unproductive seasons in Scotland, he came back to play for Lee Clark at Town and scored on his second debut for us in a 4-1 win at St James' Park (Exeter, not Newcastle) in the 2010 League One Play Off cock up season.

He stuck around though for the promotion season, making 16 appearances, mostly from the bench, but not adding any more goals to his name. That was it as far as Town go. He did have another season before a knee injury forced him to hang up his boots, up at Carlisle.

Since then, he's coached Leeds Ladies, Burnley's boys and Oldham's lads, when what he really needs to do is open up an ice cream parlour.

Come on Caddy. You know it makes sense.

So today's question, who makes your favourite ice cream?
