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.

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!

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

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