Was in and out of the side before being struck down with a menengitis scare during the summer of 1999. Fought back into the First Team spotlight but after limited appearances left for Chesham United in March 2001 on a free. Made 67 First Team appearances while at Wycombe but never got on the scoresheet.

Transferred to Birmingham on transfer deadline day in 1996 for a £350,000 fee but failed to make an impression on new City manager Trevor Francis. Had won 2 Full Welsh International Caps before moving to Adams Park. Injured in his first game for Wycombe against Walsall but returned to First Team action in March 97. Had a good start to the 1997/98 season, scoring seven times before Christmas but 'lost his way' as the season unfolded.

Back To Top

Made 22 appearances the first time around at Wycombe and played over 60 times for Fulham - winning their Young Player of the Season award for 1997/98. Wycombe had to pay £86,000 to get him back but his performances justified the fee and in March 2000 after taking his total appearances with Wycombe to 98, he was snapped up by Millwall for a £250,000 fee. Had been sponsored by Chairboys on the Net prior to this and gave a joint interview with The Wanderer Fanzine and COTN in November 1999

His move to Adams Park was a major factor in Wycombe keeping 17 clean sheets during the 1997/98 campaign.
