Player Database: Rhys Wilmot

When Alan Buckley signed Wilmot from Plymouth at the start of the 92/93 season, many were skeptical. They were right to be. Wilmot proved a mistake, he actually seemed scared of leaving his goal line to collect crosses.

Think of what Danny Coyne was like on his arrival, multiply it by 10 and your still miles out. Rhys used to play for Arsenal, then again so does Richard Wright. Rhys was however a fabulous shot stopper and saved plenty of one-on-one's. Amazingly Rhys left to go to then Premier League Crystal Palace.

Next Player: Tony Ford
