[edit] Biography

Mann was born in Falkirk, Scotland and began his playing career at Heart of Midlothian. He played for Hearts in the final of the 1967-68 Scottish Cup, although he ended up on the losing side as Dunfermline won 3-1. He then moved to England, where he represented Manchester City, Blackpool, Notts County, Shrewsbury Town, Mansfield Town, Boston United (whom he also managed), Kettering Town and Telford United. He was Alan Buckley's assistant manager at Grimsby Town and West Bromwich Albion, and had a spell as caretaker-manager at Albion early in 1997 following Buckley's dismissal. Mann died on 4 February 1999 in an industrial accident at a Birmingham factory.
