Paul Dummett


Recommended Posts

I think back to the u18s squad he came from and from that backline I'm legit surprised he was the one that made it. There were easily more composed and what I thought were more intelligent defenders than him (L Storey, J Taylor, J Henderson). Even the year afterwards Alex Nicholson was better as an attacking fullback. But they were all right footed. A classic case of right place, right time and taking the opportunity. He made the most of it and must be a dream come true.

Just remembered that game against Southampton at home when Hendrick got sent off and Schar injured after we used all subs and were clinging onto a 3-2 lead with 9 men for about 40 mins second half - Dummett was an absolute warrior that day. Just headed and tackled and cleared every single thing in the pissing rain against constant all-out attack.

 

That was usually his best form actually, whenever we were massively under the gun clinging onto a lead and he had to do nothing progressive or involving passing the ball, just being a human wall and getting in the way of it. When we were trying to control a game or have some impetus he was the last bloke you'd want on.
