Ovendale Wants Return

[footyfan]

Ousted York City goalkeeper Mark Ovendale, currently out of favour with the York City management, is remaining positive that he can reclaim the number 1 jersey from Chris Porter.

Former first choice Ovendale, was dropped in favour of Porter for the game
against Torquay but is determined to get back into Citys starting line up.

He said: "It's not the easiest time. When you're a bit down or when you've been dropped it's not nice for anybody but you've just got to try to pick yourself up and really you can't sulk about it.

"You've got to try to show a good attitude and hope that you have a good game in the reserves to say well look, I might have been dropped but hopefully I can play well enough for you not to forget that I'm still there and can still put a bit of pressure on.

"It's disappointing but that's football - not everybody can play."

Ovendale also laughed off whisperings of early retirement.

He said: "If I had the money of David Beckham, if I won the Lottery, I still don't think I'd want to retire. No matter how bad things go in football, at the end of the day that's all it is.
