Mike Flanagan (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael "Mike" Flanagan (born Ilford, Essex, November 9, 1952) is an English former professional footballer and manager. He most recently worked as assistant manager of Margate, a post he left in July 2007.
Flanagan played for Charlton Athletic (where he formed a successful partnership with Derek Hales, although the pair were once sent off in an FA Cup tie for fighting with each other) and QPR as a prolific centre-forward. He was capped three times by England 'B', scoring once.
During the summer of 1978 Flanagan crossed the Atlantic and signed for the New England Tea Men of the NASL, and subsequently scored 30 goals in 28 league appearances. He also won the MVP award (Most Valuable Player) for the 1978 season - beating off competition from Franz Beckenbauer, George Best, Carlos Alberto, and Rodney Marsh.
In the 1990s after Flanagan had retired, he managed Gillingham, and his manager at Margate was one of the players who played under him at Priestfield, Robin Trott.
In 1998 he took over the managerial reigns at Waterford United for two seasons.
