Wrexham fans saying we're after Dibble ??? please no :-\

His dad didn't exactly cover himself with glory here iirc but he, himself, has been accused by many Wrexham fans of being the main reason behind their end of season slump (I know!)
-
Local lad, would make sense if he's a free agent.
-
Still under contract with wrexham, decent keeper, can make odd mistake but thommo, coburn etc all do the same
-
We could do worse - but I also think we could do better. At 28 he's the right age for an experienced keeper.

In the same breath as Coburn ?

No. Not in my opinion. We'd be extremely fortunate to find a keeper who was anywhere near as good as England's Number One!

Appears to be common knowledge with my wrexham based friends

It's on the Wrexham forum.
PS. They've even got a Bangor on Dee Dragon! (although I'm sure he's not as good a guy as our own Bangor on Dee Robin!) 😉

I would venture that his Dad, Andy Dibble, was one of the most erratic and unreliable keepers I have seen in an Altrincham shirt. If memory serves after he left us he got some form of acid burns from diving on dodgy pitch markings while playing for a Welsh League club. He actually returned to league football with Wrexham for a while after that I think. He came to us with a solid reputation but I don't think his spell at Moss Lane was the finest of his career.

In the anticlimactic opening to Alty’s 1998/99 Unibond League season, Andy Dibble made 12 somewhat erratic appearances (including that personal nightmare in a 2-1 home defeat against Lancaster City, not to mention that mortifying FA Cup exit at Ashton United) and was only on the winning side on two occasions.

"He plays not like his dad, that is why we're glad"

He plays just like his dad. To sign him we must be raving mad.

My drinking buddy, hence all the Alty stuff.

👍
See if you can manage to convince him to start a rumour about us swapping Dinanga for Mullin. 😉

Also my grandmother's home village, keeping this all in the family.
As for Dibble, I go with One Foot in the Grave. We could do better, but could also do worse. He is well acquainted with the National League, at least.

Ah, that Lancaster defeat! That was our worst ever result at the time wasn't it? It certainly felt like it.
And then at Ashton, someone sang "we're going out to a small and friendly club", which we duly did. We were rather good at it at one time. :) (Incidentally our worst ever cup defeat (6-1) was also at Ashton in our only ever Carthium cup match when we had to play Ian "really" Senior in goals).
Strange to think we went on to get promotion after the Lancaster shocker with great wins like at Emley where Graham Heathcote "scored" (there was a suspicion, possibly not unfounded, that the winger - Sam Harris? - would not have put in the cross for one of the goals without having been told to "whip it in" by him!).
-
Dibble. Isn't he a policeman? SBL
-
That was his dad's nickname actually. 'Officer' Dibble.
