Andy Ritchie did a decent job at Oldham.

Paul Jewell was on our books but not sure he ever played.

Frank Stapleton managed Bradford in the 80s.

It has to be David Sexton. Managed right at the top and played well for us. One of the best coaches in the game in his time. Likeable guy too.

Agree - we all know that football didn't exist until 1992 and I suspect Gregory has the highest ex brighton / manager finish with sixth with Villa. Therefore Gregory is the correct answer.

Johnny Crumplin ( Football Genius) was manager at Three Bridges for a while until Real Madrid came calling...
Alright I don't actually know what happened to him after that

Ah, but football DID exist before 1992 (and so did some of us!)

Wilkinson (and I think probably Sexton) went higher than sixth - Wilkinson way higher.............

Howard Wilkinson won the league (with Leeds). Dave Sexton didn't - runners-up with QPR and Manchester United were his best league finishes. But he won the FA Cup and then the Cup-Winners' Cup (beating Real Madrid) with Chelsea.

Bob Houghton got Malmo to The European Cup final in 79 and also managed China, India & Uzbekistan but I'd say Sexton or Wilkinson
