David Evans (born April 4, 1967, Chester) is a former professional footballer who played in The Football League for Chester City as a defender.
Evans was the product of a football family, as his father Dennis Evans and uncle Bernard Evans had both played professionally for clubs including Tranmere Rovers and Wrexham.[1] As a youngster he joined Manchester United on schoolboy terms and went on to play for Wales at under 15 and under 19 level.[2]
After leaving school in 1983, Evans joined Chester City as an apprentice and his debut arrived aged just 16 years and 236 daysin a 0–0 draw against Doncaster Rovers on November 26, 1983.[3] Over the next two years he made 16 league appearances and played three cup games for Chester, with his only goal coming in a 5–2 win over Darlington on February 23, 1985.[4]
Evans remained at the club for the start of the 1985–86 but did not make any appearances under new manager Harry McNally and moved into non–league football with Bangor City.[5]
