League Managers Association - DANNY BERGARA

For the 1998–99 season, he was named manager of Grantham Town, who had just won promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. A string of poor results saw Bergara become the club's Director of Football and the club's Chief Scout, Tony Kenworthy, becoming manager. Later he scouted for Sunderland. Spells with Rotherham and Doncaster followed with little success, before Bergara disappeared into the shadows once more, working as a scout for Sunderland and Wolves right up until a short illness claimed his life just one day after his 65th birthday in 2007. Yet while the Uruguayan wasn’t part of the foreign legion’s Premier League boom of the late 1990s, there’s no doubt his prior impact softened opinions towards overseas coaches. It’s possible that, in a little way, I helped open the way for the likes of Mourinho and [Sven-Goran] Eriksson,” Bergara told Observer Sport Monthly in 2006. “Now though, there are too many foreigners in English football.” The original Cheadle End, built in 1923, was a small covered terrace of largely timber construction, with room for around 3,000 people. It was made all-seater in 1967, and its capacity was cut to 1,100. This stand was demolished in 1985, after the Bradford City stadium fire, and replaced by seven steps of shallow uncovered terracing which held only a small number of supporters. However, for the 10 years that it existed, this terrace was extremely popular with County fans because of its traditional feel. Netting was controversially placed in front of the terrace during the late 1980s; after the disaster at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 the netting was removed. Danny Bergara was a lorry loader. Or at least that’s what his work permit said when the Home Office stamped its approval for his first job in Britain.A string of poor results saw Bergara become the club’s Director of Football and Chief Scout, with Tony Kenworthy, becoming manager. Later he scouted for Sunderland. Name in home country: Alberto Daniel Bergara de Medina Date of birth: Jul 24, 1942 Place of birth: Montevideo Date of death: 25.07.2007 (65) Citizenship: Uruguay The seating was replaced in 2020 with the word 'COUNTY' spelt out in white letters on the blue seats. The first structure on this side of the ground was a small, covered enclosure with a capacity of 1,400. This was replaced in 1927 with a much larger terraced stand, which in 1965, in a FA Cup match against Liverpool, held 16,000 people. In 1978 the terracing at the rear of the stand was levelled and its capacity halved; eventually, in late 1993, the Pop Side was made all-seater. The plaudits didn’t lead to greater things, though. After two years working for England, Bergara found himself out of a job when Sheffield United were relegated to the fourth tier. The club management job he craved took a further five years to materialise, and Brennan believes Bergara’s nationality played a part.

Daniel Alberto Bergara de Medina (24 July 1942 – 25 July 2007) [2] was a Uruguayan footballer and manager. In the two decades prior to his arrival at Edgeley Park in 1989, The Hatters had never won more games than they had lost, never scored more goals than they conceded, and never finished above 11th position in the basement division. The following six seasons would see the club’s supporters enjoy a constant feast of ‘play-offs’, promotions and Wembley Finals. That reputation did Bergara no harm, and after five years at Luton and a stint with Sheffield United, his inimitable coaching methods scored him an invite from England boss Ron Greenwood to take up a key position within the Three Lions’ youth setup in 1980. Not only was it a huge honour for Bergara himself, but the appointment was particularly notable for being the first time the FA had hired a foreign coach to work within its national setup. When the Uruguay Under-21 international first moved to Britain, he had just come to the end of a successful playing career and was a well-known name in Spain’s La Liga, having plundered nearly a century of goals while making hundreds of appearances for Real Mallorca, Sevilla and Tenerife. He was even approached to play for Barcelona on a couple of occasions, but a move never came to fruition.The Vernon stand also homes the gantry for the club where all the footage for the club is recorded and where commentary takes place. Having arrived in Division Three for the 1991/92 season, Danny’s team proved to be inspirational, starting as they meant to continue, with an opening day five-goal thrashing of Swansea City. The club finished the campaign in fifth place and gained a place in the end of season ‘play-offs’. This fundraising appeal will be supported by a series of events and initiatives, including the Hatters Half marathon – www.hattershalf.co.uk, ‘make us an offer’ auctions, a dedicated evening for Danny, proceeds from the County supporter’s calendar and much, much more!

The Cheadle End behind the goal at the west end of the ground is the largest and most modern stand in the stadium, and one of the largest stands outside the Premier League.
