Born in Birmingham on 14 November 1902, Mann turned professional in 1926, entering the 1927 World Championship, where he lost his first match 6–8 to Albert Cope after leading 6–1.[1]
The following year, he defeated Cope 14–9 before losing 11–12 to Fred Lawrence in the second round; the highest break of the tournament was Mann's 46.[1]
After two first-round exits in 1929 and 1930, Mann did not play competitively again until 1935, when he lost his semi-final match - his first in that year's tournament, 4–13 to Willie Smith.[2]
Mann entered the World Championship on three more occasions, but following a 12–23 loss to Kingsley Kennerley in the 1947 edition, he did not play again.[2]
