Wayne Bridge
| Born | 05 August 1980, Southampton |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 75 kg |
| Height | 1.78 m |
| Position | Defender/Left back |
Wayne was a a late arrival to England's 2002 World Cup squad as he was not involved in any of the qualifying matches.
Handed his Southampton debut by former England coach Glenn Hoddle, it was his consistent displays for his club that impressed Sven-Goran Eriksson as he hadn't missed a Saints Premiership game in either of the previous two seasons.
Originally a midfielder, Wayne has become an accomplished left back and, having fought off the challenge of Charlton Athletic's Chris Powell, he went head-to-head with Arsenal's Ashley Cole for the starting slot in the Far East despite only making his international debut as recently as February 2002 in Holland.
Wayne's outstanding strengths are his attacking instinct and quality crossing.
He quickly established himself on the left flank following his move to Chelsea but unfortunately suffered a serious ankle injury in a FA Cup game and required a long period of recuperation.
Wayne's contract at Chelsea was extended to June 2010 in November 2006 then to June 2012 in July 2008.
He joined Manchester City in January 2009 with a contract to June 2013.
