What they Said
โJohn Dunnโs unfortunate accident is a blow but I refuse to be panicked.
โI shall wait to see what our specialist has to say before I come to any decisions [about bringing in a replacement โkeeper.]
โIt would be foolish to do anything hasty until I know the full extent of the damage.
โHe will have an operation later this week.
โWe may have to try to borrow an experienced goalkeeper if Dunn does not make a quick recovery.
โBut it is not always easy to get a good man for the job.โ
Vic Crowe.
