When was the last time a former manager came back as manager?

Too soon for Les or Dowie and Lennie was sacked just before we played Boro. Gritt never did and can't remember Mullery doing it.

Craggs never had another top job and don't remember Bailey doing it. Wasn't Nelson, Foley or Firmani so I'm thinking it was Stokoe in the late sixties, early seventies while both we and Carlisle were in the old division two.

Any more mature fans remember this?

    There was a certain amount of confusion regarding Bailey's role towards the end of the Andy Nelson days as I recall. I think he was team manager 78/9 ish while Nelson was General Manager. Bailey then took over completely when we came up from the third in 80/81

    Otherwise I think you might be looking at Macfarlane (?spelling) from the twenties.

    No I wasn't watching then:-)

    Just realised that you are referring to a manager coming back with another team rather than becoming Charlton manager again!

    Stokoe as manager of Blackpool when they sent us down to the third in 71/72 at Bloomfield Road. I assume he was manager for The Valley game too.

    What about that fucking no-mark Mullery? Did he manage against us when he was at Palarse or QPR?

    Don't remember that as I'm sure I would have been screaming abuse at him but I may be wrong.

    He did a comeback, you're right AFKA, but that wasn't what I was thinking off.

    Thanks Len, so it's either Stokoe on 11 December 1972 CAFC 2 Blackpool 3 (9,617) And we were two up! Or Shades 'll Sort It with Palace in 82 - 84

    LOL!

    Haven't you forgotten to add an "allegedly" in there, just for the PC brigade

    But was he manager at a game at the Valley. Presumably later that season.

    Mullery for sure.

    A Monday night at Selhurst and I managed to get a lift home from Simonsen in his Audi Quattro - he was absolutely knackered and got a pasting from Billy Gilbert. Set up Steve White's equaliser though.

    Not sure if he was still their manager come the following April.

    Bloody hell - Steve White! Now there's a player who was under-appreciated by large sections of the Valley faithful (not that there were many of us in those days...)

    Didn't Steve White come from Luton in part exchange for Paul Walsh?

    Yep and the resentment probably prejudiced people against White as Leroy mentions.

    Erm, unless I am very much mistaken people here are barking up the wrong tree, the wrong suburb in fact!

    November 16th 1991 - Middlesbrough 2-0 Charlton. Lennie was their manager and we had Curbs/Gritty.

    March 28th 1992 - Charlton 0-0 Middlebrough - Lennie brought them to the return at Upton Park.

    Is this the right answer or are we referring to bringing a team only back to the Valley?
  • SouthendaddickSouthendaddick
    Lennie also brought Luton to The Valley 95/96 didnt he?

    The one where Kim Grant scored for them a week after signing.
