Dave Wilkes Biography

Dave Wilkes is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 10, 1964 in Barnsley, England, United Kingdom. David Wilkes (born 10 March 1964 in Barnsley) is a former professional footballer which played at Barnsley, Carlisle United, Halifax Town, Stockport County, Frickley Athletic Guiseley A.F.C. as well as Bridlington Town A.F.C.

In 1997, the then-Carlisle United chairperson Michael Knighton refused to look for a new manager following Mervyn Day’s departure. So he was appointed manager of the team and coaching. He was supported with assistance from John Halpin and Wilkes himself who were coaches’ directors. In the good times of Carlisle, Wilkes as well as Halpin were allowed to take back seats, but not claim credit. However, when things got bad, they were put in being sacked by Knighton and faced criticism they did not really deserve.

On 9 July 2002, Wilkes joined Mick Wadsworth at Huddersfield Town as First Team Coach. The season 2002–03 went awfully wrong for Huddersfield and at one point didn’t record a win in 8 games. After a bad run of games in January 2003, Wadsworth was sacked but the club couldn’t pay him out so he was reinstated but was sacked again in March 2003, although Wilkes stayed as First Team Coach under Caretaker-Manager Mel Machin he left in May 2003, along with Machin and goalkeeping-coach Dave Watson, when Huddersfield were placed into administration.

Wilkes re-joined sometime in 2005 as Centre of Excellence Head. As of 2019 he is still Head of the Centre of Excellence.

In 1992, after his retirement, Wilkes joined Carlisle United as a Youth Development Officer, and after 1995 Under Mick Wadsworth, he stepped into a coaching position. He was the caretaker manager when Mervyn Day quit the club in 1997.
