You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bob Brocklebank''' (23 May 1908 – September 1981) was an English [[association football|football]] player and manager. He played for [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] and [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], for whom he was top scorer in the [[1937–38 in English football|1937–38 season]], before becoming a manager. He took charge of [[Chesterfield F.C.|Chesterfield]], [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]], [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] and [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]].

==Playing career==
Brocklebank was born in [[Finchley]], England as one of eight brothers. He started his football career as an amateur with his hometown team [[Wingate and Finchley F.C.|Finchley]], in the [[London League (football)|London League]]. In May 1929 he signed for [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]]. His chances were limited at [[Villa Park]], and he signed for [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] during the [[1935–36 in English football|1935–36]] season where he developed into an [[inside right]] earning the nickname ''The Toff'' because of his gentlemanly approach to life and football.<ref name="frost">((cite book

Brocklebank made 121 League appearances for Burnley, scoring 33 goals. During the [[1937–38 in English football|1937–38]] he was the club's top goalscorer with 14 goals. He continued to play at Burnley throughout the [[World War II|Second World War]].

==Managerial career==
Brocklebank became [[Chesterfield F.C.|Chesterfield]] manager in September 1945. He established the club in [[Football League Second Division|Division Two]] before he joined [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] in February 1949. The club was relegated in [[1949–50 in English football|1949–50]] to Division Two. Brocklebank began to rebuild the side but resigned in 1954 just six months before they were promoted back to the top flight.

He worked as a scout for [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] from October 1954 to March 1955<ref name="frost"/> until he was appointed manager at [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]]. He again suffered relegation in his first full season as Hull finished bottom of Division Two in [[1955-56 in English football|1955–56]]. He took Hull back up three years later from the newly formed [[Football League Third Division|Division Three]]. Hull were relegated the following season. Brocklebank resigned in May 1961 because he was frustrated at being unable to guide them straight back up.<ref name="frost"/>

Instead he joined [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]] to take over from [[Peter Jackson (footballer born 1905)|Peter Jackson]] as manager. His reign at [[Valley Parade]] was topsy-turvy. He guided the club to fifth-place finishes in [[1961-62 in English football|1961–62]] and [[1963-64 in English football|1963–64]] but City had had to apply for re-election in the season between the promotion pushes. The club's directors extended Brocklebank's contract in July 1964 for another two years,<ref name="frost"/> but three months later, disillusioned by a poor start, Brocklebank resigned.

==Death==
He retired to [[Brixham]] where he died in September 1981, aged 73.
