... was never a pro player.
I'm trying to think of any other manager who wasnt a pro, but I can't... Must be one somewhere.

I'm assuming that you mean for Rovers as there are plenty of examples elsewhere. I'd be willing to bet that Captain Albert James Prince-Cox was never a professional player.

Captain Albert Prince-Cox (1890-1967). A former footballer and boxer, forty-year-old Prince-Cox had refereed a number of Rovers matches in the 1920s. By 1935 he had refereed 32 international matches in fifteen countries. He had also at one time reported daily to Buckingham Palace, as a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society, to present the King with the weather forecast. He arrived at Eastville on 23rd October 1930 in a red open-topped sports car with white wheels, bringing with him an air of change. Within a week of his appointment, he had arranged a tour of the Netherlands. |

I can't find any record of him playing as a professional.
