Fred Priest, who led the team to second in the North Eastern League in the 1909–10 season,[1] was elected as the club's first manager in August 1908.[2][3] The club was managed by Cecil Potter when it was named as a founder member of the Football League Third Division North for the 1921–22 season, in which the team finished in 4th position.[1][4] The club went throughout the period of 1940–43 without a manager due to the Second World War but appointed Fred Westgarth in August 1943.[5][6] Under the management of Angus McLean, the club won promotion to Division Three from Division Four after finishing in third place in the 1967–68 season.[1][7]
