Including caretaker managers:- Johnny Steele, John McSeveney, Johnny Steele again, Jim Iley, Gerry Young, Allan Clarke, Norman Hunter, Bobby Collins, Allan Clarke again, Eric Winstanley, Mel Machin, Mick Wadsworth, Viv Anderson, Danny Wilson, John Hendrie, Eric Winstanley again, Dave Bassett, Eric Winstanley yet again, Nigel Spackman, Glyn Hodges, Steve Parkin, Glyn Hodges again, Gudjon Thordarson, Paul Hart, Andy Ritchie, Simon Davey, Mark Robins, Keith Hill, David Flitcroft, Mickey Mellon, Danny Wilson, Mark Burton. Favourites? Allan Clarke first time round, Danny Wilson & Johnny Steele. Worst? John McSeveney, no one else comes close.
Judging by your list, I think Mark Burton is my 20th. Pretty sure my dad started taking me when Viv Anderson was in charge, or maybe Mel Machin.
Same for me best Clarke1 Hunter and Danny1 but Bassett and Ritchie had teams that were great to watch worst Spackman not much to cheer about since Ritchie took us up apart from half a season under Flicker
Allan Clarke was the best followed by Wilson first time round. Worst for me is Wilson second time round
I know McSeveney was bad and I didn't enjoy his time but he must've been really bad because I have kind of blocked him from my memory and can hardly remember a single detail and yet I can remember the team under Johnny Steele fine!

From Angus Seed onwards. Agree 100 per cent with JLWBigLil re. McSeveney. I felt you could have taken anyone (irrespective of age or sex) put them in the Manager's chair, and they would not have done a worse job than that guy.
