Manager Andy Hessenthaler hailed
the return of captain fantastic Barry Fuller at Morecambe.
The full-back turned 26 on Wednesday
and produced a combative performance after returning from
injury.
"Barry is a top professional," said
Hessenthaler. "He said to me he is fitter than he has ever been and
that was good news for us. He didn’t look like he had been
away.
"He was outstanding for us and he is a
fantastic captain. He’s a pleasure to work with and he gets better
every time I see him.
"I watch him on the training ground
and he goes back and does extra as well. He is an ultimate
professional."
Hessenthaler is now hoping Fuller can
kick-start the Gills’ wobbly home form after a nervy opener against
Cheltenham and a torrid afternoon against Lincoln.
"We need the Barry Fuller’s of this
world at home," said Hessenthaler.
"He is a tempo player and we need to
play at a tempo at home. It’s great to have him back."
