Christopher "Chris" John Wilder, (born 23 September 1967) is a former professional footballer, and was manager of Halifax Town from 2002 until 2008, when the club folded.

[edit] Career

He started his career as a trainee at Southampton and was released without making it into the first team. He moved on to Sheffield United in August 1986 and during his career he played for 11 clubs, including a long spell at Rotherham United before joining Halifax Town in 1999.

He took over the reins as manager in July 2002 replacing caretaker Neil Redfearn, who had replaced Alan Little (who left on April 8 after falling ill with appendicitis in March). Halifax were relegated to the Conference at the end of the season.

Wilder was in charge at Halifax for more than 300 games until the club folded in May 2008.^[1]
