    Longest serving manager in British football.

    Just shows how short a managers life expectancy is. 3 years at a club is the average.

    Im afraid not Mick. My local manager of Folkestone Invicta joined the club in 1996. Got a massive game tomorrow against play off rivals Dulwich Hamlet. Only a small club Invicta and punched well above their weight this year.

    His name is Neil Cugley. I used to play in the same team as him in his younger days.
