BLUES LEGEND - KEITH RYAN

The ever-popular figure, 'Rhino', has become a legend in his time at Adams Park. One of the first players signed by Martin O'Neill when he was spotted playing at Berkhamsted Town.

Rhino scored THAT goal at Villa Park
Lucky enough to play in all three of Wycombe's Wembley visits in the nineties and but for three major injuries would have been challenging for a place as the all-time appearance makers for The Chairboys. Despite the injuries has still managed to clock up over 500 appearances and although midfield was his regular position still managed to bag 50 goals, including a memorable late goal against Liverpool in the 2001 FA Cup Semi-Final at Villa Park.

Took the Caretaker Manager role in November 2004 following the departure of Tony Adams and was subsequently made an Assistant to new boss John Gorman. He signed another one-year playing contract in May 2005 to take him into his 16th season with the club. Sadly a further knee injury at the start of the new campaign meant another long lay off and despite making his comeback for the reserves in February 2006, eventually announced his retirement from professional football on 30th March 2006.

Date of Birth: 25 June 1970
