Saddlers stopper Mark Gillespie has been named in the Football League Paper's Team of the Week following his superb display against Bury.
Walsall goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, who made his first-team debut at the weekend as the Saddlers opened their 2017/18 campaign with a defeat to Bury, has been named in the Football League Paper's League One 'Team of the Day'.
25-year-old, Newcastle born Gillespie, who joined the club following almost ten years with Carlisle United, saved two penalties as he looked to keep his side in the match against the big-spending Shakers.
Unfortunately for Gillespie he couldn't prevent Bury from scoring as former Everton striker Jermaine Beckford found the back of the net on the stroke of half-time, his goal proving enough to defeat the shot-shy Saddlers as they began their campaign with a defeat.
