Career
Jimmy Mann began his career at Leeds United. He joined Bristol City in 1974 and gained renown as a skillful attacking midfielder who played a role in the Robins' promotion to the First Division under Alan Dicks in 1976. He remained at the club until the 1981–82 season, when he left the club as one of the "Ashton Gate Eight".[2]
He is noted for scoring a spectacular long-range goal against Nottingham Forest during the Robins' stay in the First Division.[3]
Brief spells at Barnsley, Scunthorpe United and Doncaster Rovers followed before moving into non-league football with Goole Town and Bentley Victoria.[4]
After retiring from football Jimmy Mann returned to hometown Goole as a mobile security officer for Securicor, then as a Co-op milkman and from 1994 a marine operator at Goole Docks.[4]
