Keith for us. Tommy Doc for United

Not sure of Chelsea - presume it was after John Hollins left them but can't think who came next before the Vialli & Gullit era.

Tommy Docherty (Manchester United 1974-75), Keith Burkinshaw (Tottenham Hotspur 1977-78) and Bobby Campbell (Chelsea 1987-88).

The closest Plymouth Argyle came was 4th in the Second Flight in seasons 1931-32 and 1952-53.
