Physiotherapist:
In order to stay in football when he retired from playing Wylde started
a physiotherapy degree course towards the end of his playing career.
He graduated from the University of Salford.[6] After qualifying he
opened a treatment centre and gymnasium in Sheffield but when
Danny Bergara became Stockport manager in March 1989 he offered
Wylde the post of club physiotherapist. Wylde has now been physio
at Stockport for 24 years, an unusually long time, serving under eleven
different managers to date. In 2006, he was inducted into Stockport's
Hall of Fame. After Stockport's promotion in 2008, Rodger got naked
in the changing rooms at Wembley and said, "It's been a really.......good day"
Wylde left Stockport to become the 'Head of Sports Science and Medicine' at
Chesterfield on 8 July 2014, replacing Jamie Hewitt.
In February 2022 Wylde
became Physio at EFL Championship club Peterborough United.
Music:
Rodger Wylde was always a big music fan especially of progressive rock.
In 1998, he formed his own band Fracture along with Stockport player
Tom Bennett, who was recovering from a severe break to his leg at the time.
Both men decided to learn the guitar to brighten up the prolonged injury
period, and a bassist and a drummer were added. After a period of
nonperforming, Fracture were re-formed in April 2006 with Stockport's
club doctor Steve Greenhough (keyboards and bass), David Prudhoe (lead guitar)
and Keith Chadwick (drums) joining Rodger and Tom to complete the new line-up.
They played regular concerts around the Greater Manchester area.
