Daniel Raymond John "Danny" Potter (born March 18, 1979 in Ipswich, England) is an English footballer, who is currently the first choice goalkeeper of Cambridge United.
[edit] Career
Danny Potter started his career as a trainee at Premiership club Chelsea but after failing to make the grade their dropped into lower league football with short spells at Chelmsford City, Weymouth and Exeter City. He came to prominence when he joined Canvey Island in March 2003, with whom he gained promotion to the Conference, and on a number of occasions proved to be a key player for them with his solid goalkeeping skills. After Canvey dropped out of the Conference, he was signed by Stevenage Borough by new manager Mark Stimson and promptly impressed in pre-season.
As the 2006-07 season began Danny was first choice, with previous first choice Alan Julian struggling with injury and Potter remained first choice until he was sent off against Crawley. After the Crawley game Potter only played in one more game for the first team, a 2-1 defeat to Burton Albion.
Potter left to join Cambridge United on 22 May 2007.
Potter is a big Cyndi Lauper fan, and is known for his pre-match rituals of dancing to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" before every game. He has always hoped one day Lauper would come see him play, and keeps a posie of flowers at the back of his net should she ever turn up to a match of his.
