Dave Mangnall

A compact striker who did well in non-league football before signing for Leeds - and his record of 6 goals in 9 games looks good enough for him to have been retained. As it was he was allowed to leave and scored a hatful of goals for a variety of clubs before moving to QPR just before the outbreak of war. He had a spell in management with that club after the war, but was replaced after 6 years by Jack Taylor - who would go on to be an unsuccessful boss at Elland Road.

Jim Mangnall says: Was interested in your page on Dave Mangnall who was my father. I came out to NZL in 1961, just a year before he died. However am coming back to the UK in August this year to attend a RAF reunion. I still have plenty of memrobilia of my Dad and intend donating some of this to the Millwall FC museum as he was the Captain there when they beat Man City to get into the semi final of the FA Cup. They were the first 3rd Div side to achieve that feat. Still have a silver cup that he won whilst at Leeds United. Incidentally, my Mother is still alive and is 93. She is also in NZL.

Geoffrey Mangnall says: Dave Mangnall was my uncle as my dad Walter Mangnall was his brother & my dad often talked about him and his passion for football. My father passed away in 1987 & to my knowledge there's not many of us left. But so long as we are still around his name will go on. As i have told my son Aaron Mangnall all about his grandad's brother. Jim i have never met you but I am glad that you are well & that your mum is too.

There are loads!!! of mangnalls still about mostly in USA. Could the relatives of Jim please email me with any info on their line.

Adrian Birks says: My grandfather, Ken Burditt, played as a forward with Dave Mangnall at Millwall '36-'38 & often told me stories about their times together. Apparently they made quite a duo. I also have lots of photo's etc
