Charlie Bell (born 14 November 1958) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Middlesbrough and Mansfield Town.

Career

[edit]

Born in Middlesbrough, Bell was an apprentice at his hometown club, signing for them as a senior player in 1977.[1] However, after only ten league appearances in four years, he signed for Mansfield Town. He left Mansfield after two seasons, dropping into non-League football with Scarborough and becoming a policeman in Nottingham in April 1984.[1][2]

In 1987 he joined Cleveland Police, playing for the work cricket and football team, as well as the England national police cricket and football teams.[2] He subsequently became player-manager at Marske United. He left the club during the 2001–02 season to concentrate on his police career, but returned as manager in 2005.[3] He left the club in January 2008.[4]
