Tsun Dai delights 4,240 fans as Bury make winning start to campaign
The recently-turned 18-year-old comes on in the 60th minute as the Shakers earn three points in their opening game of the 2017-2018 campaign at Gigg Lane
Dai Wai-tsun’s career in the English League One got off to a flying start as the England-based Hong Kong starlet made it a winning debut in Bury’s 1-0 victory against Walsall.
“Tsun Dai” came on in the 60th minute to help his new club pick up their first points for the season. And the just turned 18-year-old teenager was pleasantly surprised he started for the Shakers after coming off the bench to the delight of the 4,240 fans at Gigg Lane.
“I didn’t expect to play for Bury today so I was a bit surprised when they called me up in the 60th minute,” said Dai, who replaced Nicky Ajose. “Overall, I’m delighted to have played for Bury,” said Dai, who impressed for the third-tier outfit when he made his debut against Championship outfit Sunderland last month.
Dai could again face the Black Cats in Bury’s next game on Thursday when they face the Championship side in the Carabao Cup.
Dai signed a new three-year contract with Bury in the summer having played for the Reading youth team before moving to the League One side.
