IT COULD be an historic moment for Oliver Risser on Sunday, if he is named in the squad that will play Chesterfield for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.

The 31-year-old would become the first-ever Namibian to play at Wembley should he get the nod from Paolo Di Canio and if it happens, it would be a proud moment for Risser.

The midfielder-cum-defender has had more than his fair share of ups and downs since joining Swindon, having been given the captaincy in pre-season before losing it early in the campaign to Paul Caddis.

Injuries and a run of poor form meant he found it difficult to break into the first 11, but 2012 has brought with it a new start for Risser and he has undoubtedly been an important member of a squad that has climbed to the top of League Two.

And, to play at Wembley tomorrow, would be the icing on the cake.

“It is obviously going to be a fantastic day,” he said. “I would be the first Namibian to play at Wembley if I play, so I am looking forward to that.

“I am not one to want the focus on me, when I used to play for the national team I was in the papers a lot but it is not about being in the spotlight, that is not who I am.

“It is nice to get appreciation but I don’t really like to have the focus on me.”

Risser, who will be watched by his wife, child and brother, is in confident mood heading into the game, much like the rest of the squad.

Town have fared well against higher division sides this season, and Risser sees no reason why Town cannot continue their good form against such opposition tomorrow.

“They are a League One team but we know our qualities when we play our football,” he added.

“We have shown it against League One sides, Championship sides and Premier League sides already this season so we are not afraid of anyone.

“If we do our job correctly then I am sure we are going to have a great day.”
