6: Roy Chapman 0.96 PPG
Roy Chapman took over as player coach in March 1965 and lasted until October 1966 but his legacy goes beyond his time as manager. He played 172 times for the Imps, scoring 77 goals, and is best remembered for that rather than his spell as player coach.
He took over from Con Moulson after a run of ten consecutive defeats and won two of the remaining ten matches. It wasn’t enough to prevent an application for re-election, which was won, but things didn’t pick up in the new season. A 4-0 defeat at home against Southport was a low, as was a 5-0 thumping at the hands of Leicester in the League Cup, after which Champman was relieved of his duties and went back to just being a player.
