Career
He was manager of Leek Town in six separate spells, spanning nearly forty years. In June 2011 he was named as Head Scout by Mansfield Town. Ogden played for Leek Castle as a left-winger before he was spotted by Portuguese Vale, joining them as an amateur in November 1965.
He made two Football League appearances in 1965-1966.
Released in the spring of 1966, he moved into non-league football. Ogden first took over at Leek Town in 1969, leaving the position six years later.
After a spell as manager of Northwich Victoria, he returned to Leek in 1977, only to depart the following year. In 2002 he was made caretaker-manager of Leek Town for a third time, 33 years after he was first appointed there.
After John Ramshaw left the post, Ogden was re-appointed as permanent manager in 2003 for what was to be a two-year spell.
He then became manager of Kidsgrove Athletic. Leek had gone through three managers between 2005 and 2007 and Ogden was made manager yet again in June 2007. His final spell seemingly came to an end when he was forced to retire due to ill health six games into the 2007-2008 season, however just one month later he returned to take charge for one last game prior to a permanent successor being announced.
He returned to the club yet again in January 2008, to assist new player-manager Wayne Johnson.
After two years out of the game, he was appointed manager of Witton Albion in May 2010, after the resignation of Gary Finley. Six years previously, he had turned down the management job at Witton, a decision which he described as "a mistake".
On 29 June 2011, he was named as Mansfield Town"s new Head Scout.
