‘Tin Man’ Wall turns Wizard of Oz to conjure up winner with one of the best goals of his career

‘Tin Man’ Alex Wall was more the Wizard of Oz as he conjured a magnificent late winner against FC Halifax Town on Saturday, writes Mark Wood.

With Town having fought back from 3-1 down, Wall was introduced as a 74-minute substitute with the scores locked at 3-3.

And he admitted his 25-yard arching effort into the top right-hand corner was probably the best goal he had ever scored in open play.

He said: “I was just aiming for the target and luckily it went in today, probably I’ll do one next week and it’ll fly over! But luckily today it went in and we got the three points.”
