Timeline

1971

Alan Geoffrey Wright (born 28 September 1971) is an English football manager and former professional footballer.

He was a left back who has played over 750 league and cup games for eight clubs, including an eight-year spell in the Premier League for Aston Villa.

He has also played for Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United plus he has had loan spells at Derby County, Leeds United, Cardiff City, Doncaster Rovers and Nottingham Forest.

He finished his career with spells at Cheltenham Town and Fleetwood Town.

1988

He began his career as a trainee at Blackpool, for whom he made 98 league appearances between April 1988 and October 1991.

The new Blackburn Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish noticed Wright, and brought him to Ewood Park as his first signing for £500,000, making him Blackpool's most expensive sale as well as the most expensive sale by any Fourth Division club.

He spent four years at Ewood Park, but, after the arrival of England left back Graeme Le Saux, made only 67 appearances, seven as a substitute.

1992

He was capped twice by the England U21 team in 1992.

Following retirement Wright was part of the coaching staff at Blackpool before going on to have spells as manager of Northwich Victoria and Southport.

Wright was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire.

Wright played for the England U21s twice in 1992.

1994

He left Blackburn just before they won the Premier League title in the 1994–95 season.

1995

Wright was signed from Blackburn Rovers for a fee of £1,000,000 in February 1995, brought to the club by then Villa manager Brian Little.

Wright made an immediate impact.

1996

His first goal for Aston Villa came later nearly a year after his arrival when he found the net against Middlesbrough, opening the scoring in a two-goal victory on New Year's Day 1996, in which Wright was also in a defence that kept a clean sheet.

Wright scored one other goal that season, rounding off the scoring in a 3–0 home defeat of Leeds United.

Wright was also part of the Aston Villa 1996 League Cup winning side, beating Leeds again, this time at Wembley.

In the 1996–97 season, Wright scored only once, this time against Wimbledon, scoring the second in a 2–0 win.

To date, Wright is currently in third place in Aston Villa's European appearances list, having made 26 appearances between September 1996 (a draw with Helsingborgs IF) and July 2002 (a 2–0 loss to FC Zürich), behind Gordon Cowans and Dennis Mortimer on 29.

He was also called up to Terry Venables' England squad in January 1996 and April 1996, but ultimately was never capped for the senior side.

1997
