Danny Bergara
Uruguayan manager Danny Bergara took over during the 1988/89 season, saving County from what looked like probable relegation to the Football Conference. The following seasons brought relative success, with County narrowly missing out on automatic promotion in 1989/90, but succeeding the following season. 'Danny Bergara's blue and white army' made an immediate impact on the third division, winning their opening fixture against Swansea City 5-0. County reached both the playoff final and the Autoglass Trophy final (both played at Wembley) in 1991-92. Another Autoglass final followed in 1992-93, and a further playoff final in 1993-94. County lost all four of those matches, and promotion to the promised land of the second tier of English football had to wait for the arrival of a new manager.
