Danny Wilson
Danny Wilson Date of Birth: Jan 1, 1960 Share "Danny Wilson" on FacebookWigan born Danny started his football career with Bury before moving to Chesterfield where his strong, forceful midfield performances caught the eye of Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough, leading to a transfer in January 1983.
Surprisingly, Danny did not settle at the City Ground and switched to Brighton but returned to the top flight when he became Luton manager Ray Harford’s first major signing in the summer of 1987.
Slotting straight into the side, Northern Ireland international Danny was virtually ever present over the next three seasons with his all action displays as the Hatters made four trips to Wembley, appeared in an F.A.Cup semi-final and diced with the threat of relegation.
After spells with Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley, Danny settled into management and took charge at both Sheffield clubs and two spells at Barnsley amongst others in a long career.
