John Edward Wylie was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on 25 September 1936 and played in the wing-half position. He signed for Huddersfield in September 1954 but in three seasons didn’t make a first team appearance.

 

Wylie joined Preston in May 1957 on a free transfer and after a season of reserve team football he made his debut in the 2-1 home defeat to Leeds on 6 September 1958 and made a further 4 appearances during the season which all ended in defeat..

 

He failed to make any appearances in 1959/60 but made 39 appearances in Preston’s last season in the top division in 1960/61. His fist win for the club was a 2-0 victory over Arsenal on 30 August. His first Lilywhite goal was scored in the first season of the League Cup, scoring in the 3-3 draw against Aston Villa on 15 November 1960. On Boxing Day 1960 Wylie captained the team when George Ross and Dave Wilson made their league debuts. His only league goal for the club came in the same season in a 1-1 draw against Manchester on 3 April 1961. The two goals in one season were the best in his career.

 

He made 38 appearances in 1961/62 and a further 9 in 1962/63 to take his PNE total to 91. His last appearance came in a 6-2 home defeat to Cardiff on 29 September 1962.

 

In November 1962 Wylie joined Fourth Division Stockport and in one and a half seasons. His debut was a 3-1 home defeat to Barrow on 10 November; his first win came a fortnight later with a 2-1 home victory over Brentford. Wylie made 25 appearances during the season and netted one goal with a 3-2 home defeat to Workington on 12 April 1963.

His first 12 games for the Dons saw him win 9 matches including a 1-0 win over former club PNE who were playing two divisions higher in the League Cup, two draws and his only defeat was a 1-0 loss at Chesterfield. Wylie made 44 league appearances and one goal. He scored Doncaster’s fourth in a 4-4 draw at Crewe on 16 April. The Dons finished  ninth in 1964/65.

 

He was an ever-present in 1965/66 as Doncaster won the Fourth Division title, scoring once in a 2-2 home draw against Halifax on 22 April 1966.

 

The following season he made a further 30 appearances as they finished second bottom and relegated from Division Three. Wylie made his 100th Dons league appearance in a 3-2 home win over Bristol Rovers on 7 October.
