Highly commended for his efforts to save the planet, Forest Green Rovers has since been recognised as the world’s first carbon-neutral football club and dubbed ‘the greenest team in the world’ under Dale’s careful watch. Also in recognition of his efforts, Dale has been appointed OBE for Services to the Environment and to the Electricity Industry and awarded an honorary Doctor of Philosophy, bestowed to him by the University of Gloucestershire.
