Former Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Alex Lynch has described his time at the club as ‘the best changing room he’d ever been in’ as he reflects on his stint at Adams Park.

The 28-year-old played eight times for the Chairboys between 2014 and 2016, with half of his appearances being shown live on TV.

Signing on a free transfer from Peterborough United at the age of 19, the Welshman was initially brought in as a backup to the ever-present, Matt Ingram.

However, after the latter suffered a serious injury at the end of the 2014/15 season, Lynch was thrown into the deep end and played the final four games of that campaign – three of which came in the 2015 League Two play-off campaign.

And when speaking to Vavel on his first year in Buckinghamshire, he explained how the move to Wanderers came about, and how the ‘play-off experience was a whirlwind’.

He said: “Barry Richardson was the original first-team goalkeeper coach at Peterborough and moved to Wycombe the season before.

"We both got on and at the time, I had actually been verbally offered another year by Peterborough but it never got put down on a contract in time.

"Baz then he told me Wycombe would give me a two-year deal I knew I wanted to go.

“Reasons being I wanted to work with him again and a new challenge, club, manager and place to live.

“And that first year at Wycombe was the best changing room I’d been in.

“Everyone got on well and enjoyed each other's company.

"Probably part of the reason why it was such a good year is that people were not expecting it (reaching the play-offs) before the season started."

His official Chairboys debut came in the club’s 3-2 away win over Northampton Town in what was the club’s final league fixture that season before they took on Plymouth Argyle in the play-off semi-finals.

A 5-3 aggregate victory over the Pilgrims followed, before a Wembley clash against Southend United.

Sadly, promotion evaded the Chairboys as they would go on to lose 7-6 in the penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw after extra time.

On his nerves going into the play-off campaign, knowing his was going to start, Lynch said: “The whole experience was a whirlwind, to be honest.

"I’m pretty sure everyone knew Matty's injury was a bad one, so it was more keeping it quiet in the press as it probably would have ramped up the pressure on myself.

“Also, some teams would have planned on playing around me a bit more because I was a young lad who had not played at that level yet.

"I was nervous in the first leg, but I got through it okay in the end.

“But as soon as I made one decent save in the second leg, the whole feeling of being tense went away and I grew into it.

"The final is probably one of the most relaxed I’ve been in a game and the build-up.

"It didn’t end how we all dreamed, it was a heartbreaking end to a game but that’s football for you.

"I’m not sure there have been many lads from Holyhead that have played there so I count myself lucky."

Lynch retired from the game earlier this year and is now a coach at his hometown team, Holyhead.
