List of York City F.C. managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of York City managers from 1928 to the present day.
York City appointed Jock Collier as their first official manager in July 1928. Collier initially joined the club as player-manager, but was forced to retire from playing due to a broken ankle. He left the club in May 1930 and managerial duties were carried out by club secretary George Sherrington. Collier, however, was re-appointed as manager in 1933, helping the club establish themselves in the Football League.[1] Charlie Spencer died during his period as manager and Jimmy McCormick was appointed as his successor.[2] However, following his resignation, the club went through a period of 18 months without an official manager, with trainer Tom Lockie and secretary George Sherrington looking after first-team affairs.[3] However, this period was York's most successful from a playing perspective,[3] during which the team reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in the 1954–55 season.[4]
The club had failed to win any honours until the 1983–84 season, when, under the management of Denis Smith, the club won the Football League Fourth Division with a record 101 points.[5][4] York won the Football League Third Division play-offs in the 1992–93 season and in the following season were beaten in the play-off semi-final of the Football League Second Division.[4] John Ward managed York for the majority of the 1992–93 season, but Alan Little took over in March 1993 and managed the team in their play-off semi-final appearance the following season.[6] The 2004–05 season was York's first in the Conference National, during which the club had three different managers. The current manager is Colin Walker, who was appointed in December 2007 after initially taking over on a caretaker basis in November when Billy McEwan was dismissed.[7][8]
