Footballer, Born 1947 Mickey Evans

Evans was born in Llanidloes and joined Wolverhampton Wanderers as a 15-year-old apprentice in 1963, signing professional forms on his 17th birthday under Stan Cullis.^{[citation needed]} However, he never managed to break through into Wolves' first team and left for Wrexham in 1966.

His Wrexham career lasted 13 seasons. He made some 500 first-team appearances, appeared in five Welsh Cup Finals, including one as captain, and won two promotions, which took the club to the second tier in the late 1970s for the first time in their history.^{[citation needed]} He also played for Wrexham in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1976; they reached the quarter-final before losing by the odd goal to Anderlecht. He also represented Wales at Schoolboy, Youth and Under-23 levels before his playing career was ended by a back injury sustained during a match at Fulham in 1978–79.

He joined Caersws in 1983, initially as player-manager. He served as manager for 24 seasons, taking the club to three Welsh League Cup triumphs and, in 2002, a place in the InterToto Cup. He resigned in June 2007, continuing to work for an oil company while scouting for former club Wrexham, but returned to the post two years later.
