Notes

"The banter took an interesting turn in the pub when one of my mates claimed that a player-manager at Carlisle once placed himself on the transfer list, then sold himself to another club. Can this possibly be true?" inquired Stephen Guilfoyle back in 2006.

While we would never advocate believing everything you hear down at your local, Stephen, on this occasion the banter is spot-on. Ivan Broadis, born in Poplar, east London, in 1922, is the man at the centre of this tale, although, as John Briggs notes, "the Football League read his signature incorrectly and he was registered as Ivor, by which name he has been recognised ever since." Ivor's early playing career took in amateur appearances for Finchley, Northfleet, Finchley again, Tottenham and Millwall, before he became the youngest player-manager ever at Carlisle United – in 1946 – at the tender age of 23.

"Although his time as manager of the club could be regarded as being average, Broadis laid the foundations for the future, and when he left in January 1949 (replaced by one Bill Shankly), United were in a far healthier state than when he had taken over," explains an article on the official club website. "Still registered as a player, he sold himself to Sunderland for £18,000 claiming that it was in the best interests of the club that he leave, providing Carlisle with suitable financial reimbursement for the transfer. The fans were not convinced, but accepted his move out of respect for the money it produced. Ivor is officially the first ever manager to transfer himself to another club."

Broadis's playing career took him on to Manchester City, Newcastle United, back to Carlisle and finally Queen of the South, while he also accrued 14 caps for England and played in the 1954 World Cup finals. He hung up his boots in 1962, choosing to take up a career in journalism, reporting for the Carlisle Evening News and Star, and even for the Observer. And, according to Chris Little, "he can still be found swearing at bad copytakers at about 5.30pm on most Saturday afternoons in the Brunton Park press box."
