Alan Dwyer
Posted on: Wed 17 Nov 2004
Alan Dwyer was spotted when playing for Halewood Youth Club in his native Liverpool by the productive scouting network that Wrexham employed during the astute managership of John Neal.
Starting his career as a forward, Alan was soon moved to the left-back position, which he was to make his own during his time at the Racecourse. A great passer of the ball, a succession of niggling injuries were to scupper his chances of a 'big move', whilst also costing him many appearances for the club. Alan helped the club to promotion in 1978, whilst also reaching the quarter finals of both the FA Cup and League Cup. He was also to play in two European campaigns for the club, but was released in 1981, after which he had trials with both Chesterfield and Leicester City, before signing for Stockport County.
