Much travelled Goalkeeper Andy Dibble received international clearance for his Player-Coach move to Accrington yesterday, and could make his debut for his eighteenth club against Woking on Saturday.
Dibble, capped at every level by Wales and with over 450 senior appearances to his name, has already played in every one of the top four divisions and the Unibond League in England, and the top flights in Wales and Scotland. It was in the League of Wales that Dibble received a bizarre career-threatening injury when, playing for Barry at Camarthen Town in 1998, he made a save and landed on the hydrated lime pitch markings causing extensive burns to his chest. This left him with permanent scars, but nine months later he was again plying his trade in the Football League with Hartlepool.
