Barry Fuller is hoping to emulate the 2000 play-off winning side he watched at Wembley

Barry Fuller has experienced Gillingham winning a play-off final
before and so knows all about the importance of togtherness,
whether it's as a fan or as a player of the club.
Ashford-born Fuller was in the crowd when Gillingham won the
2000 League 1 play-off final against Wigan in one of the last games
at the old Wembley.
On Saturday he will be hoping to follow the example of Peter
Taylor's side when the team he captains take on Shrewsbury in the
League 2 showdown at the new Wembley.
Hear Barry Fuller give
his thoughts about leading the Gills out at Wembley.
"I’ve always been a follower of Gillingham and when I was a kid
I would always look at their results," he said.
"I was one of those who went to Wembley in 2000 and that was a
great day out and to be the club captain for your local team is a
great honour especially to lead them out at Wembley."
Fuller believes the togetherness of the current squad has been a
big factor in the club getting where they are now.
"We all get on and there are a good group of lads here," he
said.
"It doesn’t matter who you sit with or who you spend time with
you know you are going to have a laugh and everyone is
together.
"It doesn’t matter what team sport you do, if you haven’t got
team spirit you won’t go anywhere."
