Wayne Gray

Wimbledon

Gray began his career at Wimbledon in 1999, where he stayed for five years. He made his debut on 8 January 2000, at Craven Cottage, in the 3–0 defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup. He was a 66th minute substitute for Damien Francis. His league debut came seven days later, where he was a late replacement for Francis in the 2–0 defeat at Coventry City. In March of that year, he joined First Division Swindon Town on an end-of-season loan. His first goal came in the 4–1 defeat at Portsmouth on 25 March. In October 2000, Gray dropped down to the Second Division, joining Brian Horton's Port Vale on loan, playing three games in his spell. He managed to break into the first team with the "Dons" by the end of the season. In 2001–02, he went to Third Division Leyton Orient on a four-month loan, starting in December. He scored six goals in 17 appearances, in all competitions, before returning to Selhurst Park. A short spell at Brighton & Hove Albion followed in April, where he scored on his debut; the 4–1 win over Colchester United. A regular in the first XI in 2002–03, he played a total of 33 games, scoring goals past Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest. He took to the field 35 times in 2003–04 – Wimbledon's final season. He scored four goals in three consecutive games, putting two past Preston North End and one each past Sheffield United and Bradford City.
