Players who went on to manage?

[Garbo]

Been thinking are we the club that has had the most managers who have played for their own clubs?

I can recall from my last 50 years of supporting:

Treveor Hartley
John Benson
Harry Redknapp
Tony Pulis
Mel Machin
Sean O'Driscoll
Lee Bradbury
Kevin Bond
Jimmy Quinn
Shaun Brooks
Eddie Howe
Jason Tindall

tenuous 'inbetweeners' others Steve Fletcher / Trevor Finnigan / Jimmy Gabriel and John Williams?

Brooks was Groves assistant.

There will be loads. Bill McGarry first player manager.

Edit: Tony Nelson, David Webb?

I don't recall Kevin Bond ever managing anything.

 

[Garbo]

I couldn't remeber if David Webb actually put his boots on for us?

 

[Audenshaw Cherry]

According to Wikipedia he played 11 games. (possibly as player-manager)

How George Best ever managed to turn up on time was a mystery.
