MANAGER: STAN HARDY


Related to goalkeeper Sam Hardy, Stan's stint in office was relatively brief, arriving in 1929 and departing after an FA Cup exit to Chesterfield in January 1932, where he fell sick. This followed a run of nine league games without a win as we dropped down the table. During the First World War, Hardy rose to the rank of lieutenant in the Machine Gun Corps. He was severely gassed in the trenches and never played football again after developing breathing difficulties when running.
