In light of the unfortunate news that first-team goalkeeper Harrison Foulkes has suffered a spleen injury and will be out of action for up to four weeks – and with the club unable to secure a replacement in time for Saturday’s match against AFC Totton – we are delighted to welcome staunch supporter Terry Dunn to the Wanderers’ ranks.
Dunn, 54, whose former clubs include the now extinct North Holmwood FC, joins the playing squad on a temporary basis. The stopper was a multiple promotion winner with several local clubs before hanging up his gloves in 1997.
Upon signing for the Wanderers, Dunn said: “Playing in goal is like riding a bike – you never forget it. I still regularly play walking football. As a Wanderers fan, no one will be trying harder than me to keep a clean sheet on Saturday.”
Club Chairman and First-Team Manager Marc White added: “In an era where passion comes in low quantities, what Terry lacks in mobility, he’ll make up for in heart – and for one game, we’re just going to have to get on with it.”
Fans can expect a new loan goalkeeper to be announced on Monday, joining the club on a four-week deal.
In the meantime, Terry is set to make his debut at Meadowbank this Saturday as we face AFC Totton in the National League South. Tickets are available via the link below:
