You could confirm it yourself and are only a couple of button pushes away. For the record McAteer was Player/Coach not Player/Manager.

 

This is what you'd have found if you could be arsed.

Derek Scott.

 

He played for Colne Dynamoes, I know he didn't manage them and they aren't a league club but that's not stopping other people.

Oh well, if there aren't any actual rules regarding playing for Bolton or actually managing a team I'd like to add my own name. I've niether played for Bolton nor managed a football club but I did once manage to drink a pint in one gulp.

He played for a number of teams during the war, including Northampton Town, Liverpool, Arsenal, Cardiff City, Bolton Wanderers, Luton Town, Partick Thistle and King's Park and helped Preston to victory in the 1941 Wartime Cup Final at Wembley. When the 1946-1947 season kick-started organised professional football again in England, Shankly resumed playing for Preston, but was 33 and coming to the end of his playing days. World War II had taken away the best years of Shankly's career.

Like Mike said it was during the war.

 

Played twice during 1943/44 season losing 4-2 at home to Bury on his debut and scoring in a 3-0 victory at Oldham the following week.

H that is the most interesting post of the week. It makes you look clever, which had never crossed my mind before.
