Another man with a fleeting first team career. I can't remember anything about Paul Wratten, but I gather injuries hampered the midfielder's time with us. His two showings off the bench came in dead-rubber games at the end of the 1990/91 season, when the league was long out of reach and we were focusing on other matters.
After he was let go, he was picked up by Hartlepool United, thus returning to his native North East. He seemed to have settled into a first team role by 1993/94 but a change of management, when ex-United utility player David McCreery took over, saw him quickly moved on. With his professional career over, he moved on to non-league outfit Bishop Auckland.
Rings no bells at all this one.
ReplyDeleteThe best player i've have ever had the pleasure of playing along side through the whole of my youth football at Nunthorpe Athletic before Paul signed for utd.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of talent never recovered from broken ankle whilst out jogging pre season.
Giggs was his boot boy at the time of his release what his worth would of been no body will ever know.
