Timeline

1921

Charles Mitten (17 January 1921 – 2 January 2002) was an English football player and manager who came through the junior ranks at Manchester United.

Over his career, Mitten also played for Fulham, Mansfield Town and Altrincham in England, and for Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia, where he had a notable stint, and where he and a number of other players left to escape the maximum wage that was imposed for footballers in England at the time.

After his playing career finished, he was involved in football management.

1936

Mitten signed with Manchester United in 1936, and was in the junior side with future colleagues Stan Pearson and Johnny Carey.

1946

However, due to the suspension of league football owing to the outbreak of war, his first professional appearance did not come until 1946.

During the war, Mitten served in the Royal Air Force, guesting for whatever club was nearest his station.

He had two seasons playing for Chelsea and made 22 guest appearances for Southampton, scoring five goals.

After the war, Mitten rejoined Manchester United and proved himself as an excellent winger during the early years of Matt Busby's time at the club.

He was part of a talented forward line alongside Jimmy Delaney, Stan Pearson, Jack Rowley and Johnny Morris, which became known as the 'Famous Five' of Old Trafford.

In his four years at United, he helped the club finish as runners-up in the league three times and in fourth place once.

Mitten made one appearance for England in an unofficial charity match against Scotland in 1946.

While still a player, Mitten was appointed player-coach of Mansfield Town.

1948

He also played in the 4–2 win over Blackpool in the 1948 FA Cup Final.

Over the course of his United career, he made 152 appearances in total, scoring 61 goals.

1950

In 1950, United went on a 12-game tour of America, where they played in front of massive, sell-out crowds.

It was at this point that Mitten questioned the small amount of money footballers received – the maximum wage in Britain was £12 a week – compared to their evident global popularity.

This point was underlined when two other British footballers, Neil Franklin and George Mountford signed for the same Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia, where the league had broken away from FIFA control, which meant that clubs did not have to pay transfer fees to foreign clubs, resulting in many top players from abroad playing in Colombia in a period nicknamed El Dorado.

During the tour, Mitten was approached by a wealthy Colombian businessmen to play for Independiente Santa Fe in Bogotá.

Mitten's signing-on fee was reputedly £5,000 plus a weekly wage of at least £40.

For this, he was given the nickname "The Bogotá Bandit", which later became the title of his autobiography.

He played in Colombia for a year, scoring

fifteen times in 34 games, and United's form suffered in his absence.

At the end of his first year Colombia joined FIFA and became subject to FIFA regulations.

As Manchester United still held his registration, Mitten was unable to play for anyone but them and had to return to England.

He was, however, offered a contract by Santiago Bernabéu, the manager of Real Madrid, who was in the process of forming the all-conquering team that would feature Alfredo Di Stéfano, Francisco Gento and Héctor Rial.

He turned down this offer, and later stated his regret at not being able to be a part of the successful Real side.

Upon his return, Mitten was subject to a ban by The Football Association, who fined him six months' wages and banned him from playing for the same period.

1951

He was also ostracised by Busby, who sold him to Fulham for £22,000 in December 1951.

Now aged 31, Mitten made 16 appearances and scored six goals in his first season at Craven Cottage, but could not save the club from relegation to the Second Division.

The next season, he played 40 times for another six goals, forming a pair with the young Johnny Haynes.

During his time at Fulham, he was picked for the London XI in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

1956

Mitten joined the club in February 1956 and remained there for over two years until June 1958.

He played 100 league games, scoring 25 league goals.

His reign was a success and Mitten's side was praised for their entertaining football.

1957

In the 1957–58 season, his side scored 100 goals in League.

In his biography, Mitten stated: "The Mansfield job was the best I ever had in football".

At Mansfield, he also gave a debut his 16-year-old son, John, who later went on to play for a number of clubs, including Coventry City.

1958

In June 1958, Mitten left Mansfield and joined Newcastle United.

Initially, he enjoyed success at the club and steered the club to a pair of solid mid-table finishes, despite an ongoing power struggle between chairman William McKeag (who had installed Mitten and gave him full control over the team) and director and former manager Stan Seymour (who felt the board should be able to veto Mitten's tactics and team selections).

1961

Newcastle gained a reputation for free-scoring football under Mitten, but they also proved to be defensively frail, and they ultimately paid the price for this in 1961, when they were relegated after a season in which they scored 86 goals but conceded 109.
