Dumbarton Football Club - Sons of the Rock 1872
BEN IS NAMED CAPTAIN
Saturday 10th July 2010
GAFFER Jim Chapman today named Ben Gordon as his new captain for the campaign ahead.
The 24 year-old wore the armband for the first time today in the match with Annan Athletic at Galabank, and Sons current longest serving player Andy Geggan is the new vice-captain.
Jim Chapman announced his decision before the pre-season friendly against the third divsion side.
Ben, the fans choice as 2009-10 player of the season in his third full season, takes over the yellow armband following the departure of Michael Dunlop to Alloa Athletic.
The manager said: "Ben is my choice. Playing alongside Allan McManus will help him in his new role and I'm delighted that he's taken up the job. He'll become a better player with the added responsibility.”
"Andy Geggan will be Ben's deputy as vice-captain, and I'd like to congratulate both."
Ben, who led the team to a clean sheet this afternoon, said: "It's a great honour. As captain, I hope to take the club forward, and I'm extremely proud."
