They were definitely made differently back then.

No Pasta and Quinoa-based meals for players on their watch.

Former Notts County manager

I've heard of pretty much all of the managers in the top 2 divisions, and plenty in the bottom two. But I've honestly never heard of Frizzell, and you'd think thats a name you'd remember.

Neil Warnock at Scarborough, Mike Walker at Colchester. Fledgling careers that scaled the heights. Interesting post @Mackenzie

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Graham Turner from Villa and Wolves to Hereford, and we know what happened there.

 

[AZ Gull]

Former Notts County manager

You're thinking of (former Albion player) Jimmy Sirrel.

Jimmy Frizzell was manager of Oldham for about 12 years.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Dick Bate at Southend, sounds like a porn star.

 

[Easy 10]

Frank Clark at Orient. Went on to take over from Clough at Forest I believe.

He was manager at Oldham for 12 years up until 1982.

How strange. I made an association with Notts County too. I wonder if they also had someone else with an equally similar name as Sirrel. Strange how the old brain works.

How many are now dead?

Ahh. Just a scotch who played for 2 clubs (Greenock Morton / Oldham), and managed 2 clubs (Oldham, and City just for 7 months). No wonder I'd never heard of him.

Still fending off that dementia after all

A former Albion player managing a side in each of Divisions 1, 2 and 3, I reckon.

D’oh!

I’ve started googling some of the less obvious names, some interesting careers and sublime haircuts.

I’m willing to bet Rotherham weren’t playing Pepball under Norman Hunter.

I’d never heard of Ian Greaves, former Man Utd fullback who had a decent career as a manager…
