MARCUS Wyllie’s move to Gillingham happened so quickly the Enfield Town hot-shot even had to miss the last day of term!

GILLS ACE MARCUS IS A CLASS ABOVE

The 25-year-old has become the first player the Towners have ever received a fee for after the League Two Gills came calling.

Wyllie fired 34 goals last season as Enfield were promoted to National League South through the Isthmian Premier play-offs.

And after being watched by Kenny Jackett in their friendly with Arsenal, the whirlwind began.

A phone call alerting him of the interest came on the way home and by Friday he was having a medical – after being excused from the last day of his day job as a Behaviour Manager at a Special Education school.

“I had to miss our last day but they were very understanding,” Wyllie told The NLP. “They had an inkling and follow how my football is going so they were really pleased for me.”
