Robert Brown (died 1935) was an English association football player and manager in the early twentieth century.
After an undistinguished career in semi-professional football in his native north-east England, Brown joined Sheffield Wednesday as a scout. In 1911 he joined Portsmouth as secretary, a job he held for nine years. In May 1920 he was appointed manager of Gillingham in preparation for the club's first season in the Football League, but he resigned just four weeks later, before the team had even played its first League match, in order to return to Sheffield Wednesday as manager. [1]
He guided Wednesday to promotion to the Football League First Division in 1925 and then on to consecutive league titles in 1929 and 1930. After thirteen years in charge at Hillsborough he retired from football management in 1933, soon after the death of his wife.
In 1935 he collapsed at Leeds railway station and died 24 hours later. He was buried at Wadsley, Sheffield. [1]

During the 1994–95 English football season, Gillingham F.C. competed in the Football League Third Division, the fourth tier of the English football league system. It was the 63rd season in which Gillingham competed in the Football League, and the 45th since the club was voted back into the league in 1950. In January 1995, after several seasons spent near the bottom of the Football League and nearly a decade of financial difficulties, the club was declared insolvent and placed in administrative receivership. Mike Flanagan was made redundant as the club's manager and replaced by experienced player Neil Smillie for the remainder of the season. Gillingham finished the season 19th in the Third Division, but the club's continued existence remained in doubt. In June, however, the club was saved from going out of business when it was purchased by businessman Paul Scally.
