Biographical Text
Alan Wright had a trial for Exeter City as a teenager and later played in the Football League for Walsall before enjoying a long association with Weymouth and later Bedford Town.
Then a seventeen-year-old from Birmingham, Alan appeared for Exeter City's 'A' team in the Exeter and District League during 1955/56.
Not offered an engagment by City, he was more successful at Walsall where he made a solitary goalscoring appearance in the Football League during 1958/59. Subsequently released by the Saddlers, he joined Weymouth in 1960 and - after four seasons - transferred to Bedford Town where he eventually served as manager between 1969 and 1971.
