Playing career
editWann began his career with hometown side Blackpool, whom he turned professional with in July 1967. He made 17 league appearances over the next five years before Football League Third Division side York City. Loan spells at Chesterfield and Hartlepool United followed and in July 1976 he began a three-year stint with Darlington.
Wann remained in the Football League Fourth Division after a switch to Rochdale in June 1979, scoring seven league goals in his two seasons at Spotland. A short spell back at Blackpool followed and Wann then dropped out of the professional ranks with a spell at non-league Workington.[1] In October 1983 Wann returned to The Football League with Chester City, whom he joined on non-contract terms.[2] After three league games and one League Cup tie Wann returned to Workington.[1] He later had a brief spell with Runcorn.[3]
