He is without doubt one of the best organisers and communicators I&#8217;ve come across and his qualities as a keeper are undoubted. In fact &#8216;Paul Strudley&#8217; became somewhat of a verb by way of explaining the seemingly impossible saves. His experience speaks for itself and he&#8217;ll be a great addition both on and off the pitch. One of the nicest guys you&#8217;re likely to meet, he&#8217;d make someone like Dunny look like Hitler.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">&#8220;He won&#8217;t be the only addition in that position; we&#8217;ve had someone with us over the friendlies to date that has really impressed and we&#8217;ve also got a young lad who we are very keen to look at too. The GK union is certainly looking strong. They&#8217;ll work alongside our keeper coaches Lance and Geraint who have been great since they&#8217;ve come in.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are proud to be able to welcome goalkeeper Paul Strudley to Basingstoke Town Football Club.\u00a0 The 35 year old has previously donned the number #1 shirt for Hungerford Town (who he helped climb to the Conference South)\u00a0, Hartley Wintney and more recently title contenders of last season, Thatcham Town FC.\u00a0 &#8220;I&#8217;ve worked with Struds [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,88,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2020-21-news","category-2020-21-players","category-featured"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Paul-Strudley-scaled.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5436"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5437,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5436\/revisions\/5437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btfcsc.co.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
