Notable player-managers in English football

Bryan Robson, wearing a jacket, shirt and tie and football shorts and socks, does keepie-uppies on the pitch after being appointed as player-manager of Middlesbrough, March 1994.

Sadly, the player-manager seems to be a thing of the past; the game has more or less outgrown it.

Up until the turn of the 21^st century, however, the sight of a gaffer kitting up and coaching his team while being a part of it was not uncommon.
