About Wayne Carlisle
Wayne Thomas Carlisle is a Northern Irish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He is currently assistant manager of Bath City. In his over two years at Memorial Stadium, Carlisle produced a scoring record 14 goals in 71 matches, this despite the team struggling against relegation. Carlisle featured in 46 first team league matches while at Selhurst Park, but when Simon Jordan stepped in to save the club, investments in more experienced and high-profile players limited Carlisle's chances. Carlisle started promisingly with his new club, breaking straight into the first team, but his season was ended prematurely with a broken leg suffered against Tamworth. Due to the club's financial troubles during the late 1990s, first-team opportunities became available for the then-young trainee.
