List of Bury F.C. managers

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bury Football Club was founded in 1884 and joined the Football League in 1894. In its early years, team management was the responsibility of one or more members of the club committee and the first specialist manager was appointed in 1907. The table below provides a list of all the club's managers to date.

The Bury F.C. website contains a list, drawn from the club's own records, of first team managers from 1890 until David Flitcroft's appointment on 9 December 2013.[1] The page has not been updated since then so all later dates are individually sourced.

Manager Caretaker manager From To Notes
England Tom Hargreaves 1890 1891 Hargreaves was a member of the club committee given matchday charge of the team in 1890–91.
England John T. Ingham 1891 1892 Ingham was the club chairman but he acted as team manager in 1891–92, during which Bury won the Lancashire Cup and he originated the club nickname (see above).
England Albert Duckworth 1892 1893 Duckworth was a member of the club committee given matchday charge of the team in 1892–93.[1]
unknown 1893 1894 It is possible that more than one member of the club committee was responsible for the team in 1893–94.
England Albert Duckworth 1894 1895 For the club's first season in the Football League, sole responsibility reverted to Duckworth. The team won the Second Division championship.
management committee 1895 1907 Management of the team in this period, throughout which Bury were in the First Division, was the responsibility of a three-man committee.[1] According to a Sheffield newspaper report, the committee seems to have included, and may have been headed by, club secretary Harry Spencer Hamer.[2]
Scotland Archie Montgomery 1 February 1907 30 April 1915 The committee stepped aside and the first specialist manager was appointed. Montgomery, then aged 34, had been the club's goalkeeper. Like Cameron and Thompson who succeeded him, he was Scottish. Montgomery managed the team in 316 league games, a total beaten only by Dave Russell. The club site says that, technically, Montgomery was the first Bury manager to be sacked but the reason for it was the club's lack of income in wartime so it was effectively a redundancy.
none 1 May 1915 15 May 1919 The position was unfilled for the remainder of World War I.
Scotland William S. Cameron 16 May 1919 29 May 1923 Cameron was the club's first player-manager. He was banned from football in 1923 following a match-fixing scandal from three years earlier involving Bury.
Scotland James Hunter-Thompson 11 June 1923 10 February 1927 Hunter-Thompson was the first Bury manager to be sacked because of poor results. The team finished nineteenth in 1926–27, narrowly avoiding relegation.
England Percy J. Smith 24 May 1927 4 January 1930 Smith left to take over at Tottenham Hotspur.
England Arthur Paine 7 January 1930 29 December 1935 Arthur Paine joined Bury in 1923 as club secretary, but then served as team manager for nearly six years before reverting to secretary. Through the Second World War, he took additional employment as a company secretary in industry and decided after the war to remain there permanently. He resigned his job with Bury on 1 July 1946.[3]
England Norman Bullock 30 December 1935 21 June 1938 Bullock played for Bury as a forward from 1920 to 1935, representing England three times. He became a coach and then team manager after he retired from playing. He left to take over at Chesterfield.
England Charlie Dean 21 June 1938 14 March 1944 The club website does not name a manager in this period and it is possible that Dean was appointed on a temporary or part-time basis. He is listed by Soccerbase as manager from June 1938 to March 1944.[4] The club site confirms the exact dates of Bullock's departure and Porter's appointment.
Scotland Jimmy Porter 14 March 1944 14 June 1945 Porter played for Bury as a wing half from 1921 to 1935 and then became a coach. He appears to have been a stand-in as wartime manager because he stepped aside in June 1945 to become assistant manager on Norman Bullock's return. In 1949, Porter became manager at Accrington Stanley for two years.
England Norman Bullock 15 June 1945 30 November 1949 Bullock's second term as Bury manager. He was the first Bury manager to be given sole responsibility for team selection. He left to become manager of Leicester City.

Scotland Dave Russell 1 December 1953 13 December 1961 Russell managed the team in 352 league games, more than any other manager. Bury were Third Division champions under him in 1960–61. He left to take over at Tranmere Rovers.

England Bert Head 16 August 1965 10 April 1966 Head left to take over at Crystal Palace.
England Les Shannon 11 July 1966 29 May 1969 Shannon managed the club's 1967–68 immediate re-promotion to the Second Division. He left to take over at Blackpool.
England Jack Marshall 1 July 1969 16 September 1969 Marshall was in charge for a mere seven games before being sacked and his term was the shortest of any Bury manager.
England Les Hart 16 September 1969 17 September 1970 Hart was only the third Bury manager to be sacked for poor results and there have been several more sackings since then.
England Colin McDonald 17 September 1970 10 November 1970 A local man whose career as a goalkeeper was mostly with Burnley. He held an executive post with Bury after he retired from playing and agreed to stand in as temporary team manager after Hart's dismissal, until McAnearney's appointment. He was afterwards the club's general manager for a time.
