saggarmakers: “I’m just another human being, judge me not by the colour of my skin but as a person and a football manager.” RIP Keith Alexander, Macclesfield Town manager and the first black professional football manager, died yesterday after Macc’s match against Notts County. A manager renowned for managing teams on a tight budget he turned Lincoln City from League 2 strugglers into playoff contenders in each of the 4 years he was there and received a new 2 year contract at Macclesfield after keeping them in the football league last season. He also had spells at Peterborough and as director of football at Bury.
