Chris Bacon thanks Wisbech Town Football Club for two “memorable” seasons as he joins Cambridge City

TALISMANIC striker Chris Bacon has paid tribute to Wisbech Town Football Club after signing for Cambridge City.

The hot-shot striker, who netted 31 times last season, posted a message on the club forum thanking the club and its fans for their support during his two prolific years at Elgood’s Fenland Stadium.

He said: “I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved with Wisbech Town FC.

“I’ve had a very memorable two seasons with the club; I’ve managed to make some good friends, both on the pitch and off it and thoroughly enjoyed myself playing here.

“The supporters have been great, along with everyone behind the scenes. I can’t praise and thank you enough.

“Hopefully I should be moving abroad in the near future. In the meantime, I want to take the opportunity to play at the highest level that I can achieve.

“I’d like to thank Apps for showing faith in me and giving me an opportunity here. I have nothing but praise and respect for him and everyone else at the club.”

Manager Steve Appleby paid tribute to his former striker.

He said: “His contribution has been massive. Nearly 70 goals in two seasons is remarkable. He is almost irreplacable.

“He is a magnificent player and person and I wish him good luck for the future.”
