David Wylie (born April 4, 1966 in Johnstone) is a former Scottish football goalkeeper.
Wylie is still registered as the fourth choice goalkeeper for Greenock Morton, where he is the goalkeeping coach, due to a constant stream of injuries to goalkeepers at the club.
Career
Wylie spent 13 years at Greenock Morton, making over 500 appearances and won two league titles (First and Second Division). During the 1986–87 season, Wylie was involved in the Scotland u21 squad but did not make any appearances for them. He then had spells at Clyde, where he won another Second Division championship medal, Clydebank and Gretna.
His only spell out of senior football saw him spend the 2001–2002 season at Renfrewshire junior side, Renfrew.
He returned to Morton as a goalkeeping coach, a role which he also performed at St. Mirren whilst he was playing for Renfrew.
Back at Morton
He currently works as Morton's goalkeeping coach, where he featured on the bench as a trialist against Ayr United due to injuries to Kevin Cuthbert, Colin Stewart and Bryn Halliwell.
Due to rules on trialists in the Co-operative Insurance Cup, Wylie had to be re-registered as a player for the second round defeat to Kilmarnock.[1]
Wylie also has further coaching experience from when he was appointed as the goalkeeping coach at St. Mirren in 2000.[2]
