Reginald Jenkins (7 October 1938 – 29 January 2013) was an English footballer who played as an inside forwardinthe 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 Rochdalein1964–65 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]
