Malcolm Musgrove (8 July 1933 − 14 September 2007) was an English professional football player and manager.
Malcolm Musgrove played for his local side Lynemouth Colliery before being called up for national service, which he served in the Royal Air Force. He played for a Forces team and also for Scottish junior side Sunnybank while in the RAF and joined West Ham United in December 1953.
At West Ham he soon established himself as a left-winger, making his league debut in 1954 against Brentford. He went on to make 301 league and cup appearances for the Hammers before joining Leyton Orient as player-coach in December 1962. He became chairman of the PFA in 1962 and remained in post until his retirement as a player in 1966.
He left Orient in 1965 to coach Charlton Atletic under Bob Stokoe from where he moved to Aston Villa in 1967. In late 1968 he joined Leicester City as assistant manager under former West Ham teammate Frank O'Farrell taking them back to the top flight when they won the Division 2 Championship in 1970/71. When O'Farrell moved to Manchester United in 1971, Musgrove followed, again taking an assistant manager's position. O'Farrell left United in December 1972 and Musgrove left the following month, taking the manager's job at Torquay United, a post O'Farrell had held himself 5 years earlier.
He had little success at Torquay, with a highest league finish of 9th place in 1975-76 in his time at Plainmoor. He left Torquay in November 1976, to be replaced by O'Farrell, and the following year coached NASL side Connecticut Bicentennials. In 1978 he coached another NASL side, Chicago Sting and on his return to England sold insurance for a while before joing Exeter City as coach/physio. He was made redundant in 1984 and then took the post of Physio for the Qatar FA in the middle east.
On his return, 2 years later, he became coach/phsio at Plymouth Argyle where he stayed until joining, former Hammer John Bond, at Shrewsbury Town. There he was part of the back room staff when they won the 3rd Division title in 1993, before retiring in 1998.
On retiring he moved back to Torquay with his wife, Jean, to be nearer there children David, Martin & Allison and grand-children. Unfortunaley Malcolm was already suffering the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, which was to eventually take his life on September 14th 2007.
Musgrove died on 14 September 2007, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease[1].
