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.
Brenda Mangnall (nee varley) says: I was most interested to see
this info about a Mangnall. I married a Mangnall in 1971 and for
the last 5 yrs have been researching my husbands family. There are
loads!!! of mangnalls still about mostly in USA. Could the
relatives of Jim please email me with any info on their line. My
husbands line originated in Westhoughton, Lancashire which is not
that far from Wigan. I am currently building a Web-site and hope to
publish it on the web soon so keep watching any mangnalls out
there. Web-site name is
www.Bremick.mangnall.mysite.freeserve.com/
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
