About Dick Molyneux
Dick Molyneux was an association football coach.
Brentford Molyneux became manager of Southern League First Division club Brentford in 1903. Later in the year, Molyneux was suspended from football until the end of the 1903–04 season for attempting to buy goalkeeper John Bishop out of the Scots Guards. Molyneux managed the club to mid-table mediocrity in the following two seasons, with the club's best position being 9th in 1905–06. During Molyneux's reign and due to his nous, Brentford moved from Boston Park cricket ground to a ground of their own in 1904. Serious illness (described as "paralysis") saw Molyneux replaced temporarily by trainer Bob Crone and then secretary William Brown until the end of the 1905–06 season, at the end of which his contract was terminated. He returned to Liverpool in June 1906 to be with his wife Anne and died a few days after arriving home.
