Retrieved on 2007-04-08. “Throughout his amazing 30 year career he played for 11 English league clubs through which he accumulated a record 1005 League appearances.”2. ^ McBain was New Brighton manager at the time and came out of retirement to play in goal during an injury crisis. Similarly, Bob Suter, who played for Halifax Town on April 24, 1929 aged 50 years and 288 days, also came out of retirement to cover in goal. The oldest 'regular' player and the oldest outfield player was Stanley Matthews, who was 50 years and 5 days old in his final match for Stoke City v. Fulham on February 6, 1965.3. ^ It is estimate that between 1,000 and 2,000 people actually attended the match; Manchester United and Derby County had played immediately beforehand, and some of the spectators for that match had stayed on to watch the Stockport match for free. However, only 13 people paid at the gate to watch the Stockport match by itself. Reference: A beautiful game. Stockport Express (November 19, 2002).4. ^ Some regard Busby as the fourth-longest serving League manager after Fred Everiss (1902 to 1948, West Bromwich Albion), George Ramsay (1884 to 1926, Aston Villa) and Frank Watt (1895 to 1930, Newcastle United). However, these three held the title of club secretary rather than manager, and only had a limited influence over training and selection. By modern-day standards, Busby is the longest-serving manager.5. ^ Leroy Rosenior lost his job at Torquay just 10 minutes after being introduced as the Devon club’s new manager. The then Chairman Mike Bateson called him to say he had just sold the club to a group led by Colin Lee, who reinstated himself as director of football only a matter of days after being made redundant by the club.
