Rhino Retro 1993-1995 - Coming of Age ![]() The sensational 2nd Leg victory at Sutton was greeted at the final whistle by a memorable cart-wheel by Rhino before being mobbed by the Wycombe contingent. The delight on his face was plain to see. After that the final was a breeze against Runcorn as another winners medal was added to the collection. It's a credit to 'Rhino' and many of the others players at the time that they took to the full-time game in such a big way. Rhino had grown up alongside the likes of Dave Carroll, Steve Guppy and Matt Crossley - all hauled out of lower league clubs to play for Wycombe. A season in the Football League would sort this lot out - it certainly did. Only a poor run near the end of the season cost Wycombe automatic promotion but what the hell, it was back to Wembley and a 4-2 victory against Preston North End in what is regarded by many as the best ever Wycombe performance. That season will also be fondly recalled for a breathtaking display in the 2nd Leg of a Coca-Cola match with Premier League Coventry. 3-0 down from the 1st Leg, Wycombe actually led on the night 4-0 and 'Rhino' had a cracker. It was just the sort of game that he could get his teeth stuck into. His good buddy Jason Cousins had drove Wycombe into an extra-time lead but the fairy tale finish was spoilt by a Welsh postman called John Williams. 1994/95 in Division Two was always going to be much harder but for Ryan the season turned into a nightmare when he was badly injured in a County Cup game in January 1995 against Chalfont St.Peter. It would be a year before Keith would return to the team, by which time Martin O'Neill had left and the winds of change were ringing through the Club.
