ROBBIE WALSH

Name: Robbie Walsh
Country: England
Position: Midfield

Signed from: Youth Academy in June 2000
Left for: Brighton & Hove Albion in May 2003

After impressing in the Youth Team and Reserves, Robbie Walsh was given a chance in the first team away to Shelbourne in the UEFA Cup where he went on to play well and get a few more appearances.

The following season however, Walsh became very inconsistent and it annoyed his manager, Patrick Doyle. So he was sent on loan to Brighton in January 2003 with the move later being made permanent.

ALEX WILKINSON

Name: Alex Wilkinson
Country: England
Position: Defender

Signed from: Youth Academy in December 1998
Left for: Released in May 1999

Alex Wilkinson made his debut for the Dragons on Boxing Day 1998 after impressing manager Ian Coates in the Youth Team. He didn't have the best of debuts however as the Dragons lost 3-0.

Wilkinson went on to make two more appearances in the first team, against Chelsea and Coventry. He was selected in the FA Cup Final squad but was axed just before kick off. He was later released.

NATHAN WOODS

Name: Nathan Woods
Country: England
Position: Goalkeeper

Signed from: Youth Academy in January 2005
Left for: Leeds United in March 2005

Nathan Woods was an impressive young keeper that did brilliantly to cope with racial abuse by a hostile crowd in Rome in only his second game for the club.

Just as Woods was beginning to look like becoming the clubs new first choice goalkeeper ahead of Viv Wright, he decided to move to Leeds United on a free transfer instead.

VIVIAN WRIGHT

Name: Vivian Wright
Country: England
Position: Goalkeeper

Signed from: Free Transfer in January 2004
Left for: Died in May 2005

Volatile and unpredictable goalkeeper Viv Wright was signed on a free transfer by manager Stuart Naysmith after the keeper had served his 15-match suspension following a huge incident at his former club, Middlesbrough.

WWright suffered with a disorder that led to him doing strange things off the pitch. It also disrupted his game on it.

He walked out on the team just before kick off, he attacked his team-mates - yet when manager Don Barker was sacked in 2005, Wright was given the position as player / manager.

This was where Wright became a different man. He became more controllable and went on to lead his team to promotion. But sadly, just hours after, Wright was killed in the tragic coach explosion.
