CHARLIE Austin can still vividly visualise his first ever goal as a teenager in Non-League football. To this day, it still brings a big smile to his face.
Dover Athletic’s long trek to Dorset bore fruit as Andy Hessenthaler’s side took a well deserved point from Weymouth in front of the live BT Sport cameras at the Bob Lucas Stadium.
The Weymouth manager played with the 22-year-old centre-back at Havant & Waterlooville and has now brought him from AFC Bournemouth to shore up his Terras defence.
The 25-year-old only joined the Spirietes last December from National North club Chester on an 18-month contract for a fee believed to be around £25,000.
The National League side announced seating admission would cost £25 for adults and £20 for over 65s and students or a season ticket at £350 or £280 for each category.
The 36-year-old enjoyed an impressive career as a defender, having played in every professional league in England including spells at West Ham United, Coventry City, Bournemouth and Blackburn Rovers before joining the Clarets last year.
The 26-year-old found the net a superb 75 times in just two seasons at the Bob Lucas Stadium, helping The Terras win promotion to National League South, before signing for then League One side Southend United in 2019.
Lee Phillips made a good career out of getting the better of defenders but going up against a young Tyrone Mings in Chippenham Town training sessions showed the striker all he needed to know.
