Dion Gibbins -
Midfielder (CM)
Shrewsbury Town, Bala Town, Ruthin Town and Penycae.
Throughout my youth I represented Shrewsbury Towns league two academy but since joining adult football the highest I've played is with my local club Cefn Albion which is at Welsh National League Premier Division.
My best footballing memory has to be being called up to play for Wales. Not many people have the opportunity to represent their own country so it’s an achievement that I’m proud of.
My worst footballing memory is getting released from Shrewsbury Town’s league two academy side. At the time it was quite hard to take it but looking back, being released has been the main driving force behind pushing me to keep getting better.
I would have to say Callum Roberts. He was strong on the ball, could use both feet and his heading and fitness was outstanding. A great all round player.
Chris Hardy. In the year that I worked with Chris he helped us reach the final against TNS which we unfortunately lost. As well as being an influential manager he was easy to get on with him and we had some right laughs.
The away ground that I most like to visit it Chirk AAA. Unfortunately I missed the recent game between Chirk and Cefn so it would be good to get a good result there next time we visit so we can make up for the recent poor result
The best trainer at our football club is Paul ‘Muncher’ Griffiths. Whenever the management are unable to take training munch always steps in and takes a really good session. He makes us work hard which is what I need to fight for my place in the first team squad.
I would say that the worst trainer at our football club is Alex ‘Twinny’ Williams because when he argues with his twin brother Nathan about who's the better his training always goes downhill.
I’m looking forward to Chirk AAA at home because given the recent result it's a massive game for us and I’ll be hoping to put things right in the derby on the Muga with a big crowd behind us.
