Adam Virgo, born on the 25th of January 1983 and hailing from England, was a dedicated defender standing at an impressive 6ft 2inches tall (1.88m) and weighing in at 13st 5lb (85kg). He was particularly notable for his performances as a central defender.
Virgo commenced his professional football journey as a trainee at Brighton & Hove Albion in England's Premier League, joining the club in July 2000. Over multiple seasons, his presence bolstered the team's performance through a series of commendable performances, which included 36 first team appearances and eight goals in the 2004 - 2005 season.
His impressive run at Brighton caught the attention of other clubs, leading to a short-term loan to Exeter City in England's League One in November 2002 where he made nine first team appearances.
In July 2005, Virgo transferred from Brighton & Hove Albion to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. The transfer, reportedly worth £1.5m, signalled an exciting chapter in the player's career. Despite making only ten first team appearances in the 2005 - 2006 season at Celtic, he demonstrated a consistent performance level worthy of note.
Virgo was then loaned to Coventry City in the Championship in England in August 2006 and later to Colchester United in England's League Two in August 2007.

His career at Bristol Rovers came to a close in May 2013, marking an end to his professional football journey. Throughout his career, Virgo's persistence, on-pitch performances, and commitment to the sport were always evident. His legacy remains in the memories of the fans and clubs for which he played.
