Career
Early years
Mansley began his career as a schoolboy in Liverpool with Everton and later spent time with league clubs Sheffield Wednesday and Crewe Alexandra.[2] He dropped into non-league football in 1966, joining Lancashire Combination Division One side Skelmersdale United.[2] He reached the final of the FA Amateur Cup with the side during the 1966–67 season and caught the attention of Football League Division Two side Blackpool, signing a contract in June 1967.[3] He departed Bloomfield Road in January 1968, having failed to make an appearance for the Tangerines.[1]
Brentford
Mansley dropped down to Division Four to sign for Brentford in January 1968.[2] He quickly established himself in the team, making 19 appearances in what remained of the 1967–68 season.[4] Flourishing under the management of Jimmy Sirrel, he made what would be a career-high 46 appearances during the 1968–69 season, top-scoring with 17 goals.[4] Mansley held a regular place in the team until the departure of Sirrel and the installation of Frank Blunstone as manager in December 1969,[2] making just seven appearances in what was left of the 1969–70 season.[4] He began the 1970–71 season as a regular in the side, but fell out of favour in late September 1970 and made just 9 appearances before being released at the end of the campaign.[2][4] He made 105 appearances and scored 30 goals during two-and-a-half years at Griffin Park.[2]
Fulham (loan)
Mansley moved to Division Three side Fulham in November 1970,[5] becoming the club's first-ever loan signing.[6] He made just one appearance for the Cottagers.[2]
Notts County (loan and permanent signing)
Mansley joined Division Three club Notts County on loan in March 1971,[5] linking up with former Brentford manager Jimmy Sirrel.[2] He failed to make an appearance,[7] but impressed enough to join the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.[5] Mansley failed to make an impression in his only full season at Meadow Lane, making just 14 appearances and scoring two goals.[8]
Lincoln City (loan)
In search of regular football, Mansley signed on loan with Division Four side Lincoln City in December 1971.[2] He made three appearances before departing the following month.[9]
Personal life
Mansley died in February 2001 of a heart attack.[10]
