Golborne-born Hart played for Manchester City as an inside-forward in 169 Football League matches, between 1947 and 1960, scoring 67 goals. He succeeded Malcolm Allison as the club's manager for six months - from close to the end of the 1972-1973 season (30 March 1973) until the beginning of the 1973-1974 season (22 October 1973) - before being forced to retire following a pancreatic attack.
His son, Paul, became a centre-half and he has also followed his father into management.

“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
