Harry Haslam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Haslam (born Manchester July 30, 1921, died September 10, 1986) was an English footballer and manager.

Haslam played for Rochdale as an amateur, Oldham Athletic (1946-1947), Brighton & Hove Albion (1947-1948) and Leyton Orient (1948-1949), making nine league appearances as a full-back.

He managed Eastbourne United, Tonbridge, Luton Town and Sheffield United. He is credited with having discovered the prolific centre-forward Malcolm Macdonald at Tonbridge, even though it was actually Bobby Robson who really discovered MacDonald during his very short stint managing Fulham, prior to MacDonald's move to Luton

His son Keith Haslam is the current Chief executive of Mansfield Town.

He died in September 1986 at the age of 65.
