Joe Coulson

Youth team / (#27) Defender (1998-1999) / (#12) (1999-2000)

Joe Coulson came up from the youth team in 98-99's pre-season. Although he is present throughout the club's historic FA Cup run that season, he isn't in the squad for the final game, but does take part as a voice on the team's recording "Purple Reign (It's Gonna Be United)". In his second season with the club, Coulson is part of the squad that comes together after losing four of their team mates in the plane crash, and with them on their UEFA and FA Cup rounds. At the season's close, Joe leaves for Wigan Athletic.
