JOHN RADFORD 

Welcome to Crawley Town’s 

co-chairmen Eben Smith 

and Preston Johnson to One Call 

Stadium for today’s match. 

I know you’ll share my 

disappointment at seeing two key 

decisions from the officials go against 

us in our Easter Monday fixture at 

Carlisle. 

With that aside, our performance in 

Cumbria was encouraging, especially 

in the first-half. 

We have four fascinating final fixtures 

of the regular season now ahead of us 

and there is all to play for. 

Despite our recent two losses, these 

next four games will doubtless be 

treated as individual cup finals. 

We have a very good group of players 

at this club and we know that we 

have the ability in our squad to earn 

a place in the top seven positions in 

Sky Bet League Two’s final standings. 

For us, as supporters, directors, staff 

and fans, our job is to support Nigel 

along with his staff and players as 

part of one unified goal of finishing as 

high as we possibly can in the league 

table. 

As is often the case in football, 

there will doubtless be more twists 

and turns to come in the final four 

matches. 

We all have a part to play and we 

shall head into these final four games 

with our continued, unified mentality. 

In times of trial, we shall not be 

discouraged. 

We shall support and encourage our 

management, staff and players at 

every opportunity in our pursuit for 

promotion. 

Together, we shall give everything 

we have.

NIGEL 

CLOUGH 

Welcome to Crawley Town 

running than in the Northampton 

manager John Yems, along Town match at the start of the month, 

with the management, players, which was an intense, physical game 

staff and supporters from West for us. 

Sussex for today’s match. 

The last ten days have highlighted 

to all clubs the impact of refereeing 

mistakes at both ends of the table. 

For us at Carlisle, decisions cost us 

three points. We scored a perfectly 

good goal, which went over the 

line, but wasn’t given, and then the 

Carlisle player is clearly a yard offside 

for their decisive goal. 

We played well, controlled the 

game and created chances. We were 

wasteful at times but those two, 

crucial, aforementioned decisions 

were out of our control. 

Our running statistics were 

exceptional at Carlisle; 15% higher 

in sprinting and 20% in high-speed 

Our team cannot try any harder or 

run any more. 

We’ll endeavour to keep up these 

high levels as we head into two 

successive home games. 

This has been a rollercoaster of 

a season; to start so well, to then 

experience the dip which saw us 

second from bottom in the table 

to now be in there challenging is 

incredible for us all. 

Stick with us. We’ll do everything we 

can - as our players did at Carlisle and 

we have done in the majority of this 

season – to get us in the top seven. 

We’ll be giving every ounce to try and 

get us there.

Midfielder 

named PFA 

Community 

Champion 

Mansfield Town Football in the 

Community are delighted to name 

experienced Stags’ midfielder 

Stephen Quinn as their PFA 

Community Champion for the 

2021/2022 campaign. 

The 36-year-old has been in fine 

form this term. With his invaluable 

experience, which includes playing 

in the Premier League, the midfielder 

has shown excellent leadership both 

on and off the pitch this season. 

The former Sheffield United man has 

been given this annual award for his 

community work, as part of Mansfield 

Town Football in the Community’s 

Premier League Primary Stars 

delivery. 

NEWSDESK 

Stephen recently visited Lake View 

Primary school with fellow teammate 

George Maris. The duo visited the 

school whilst Community coaches 

were delivering one of their Primary 

Stars sessions, which led into a Q & A 

session with the participants. 

Community manager Gary Shaw said: 

“Stephen took great pride in the visit 

as he led the session himself. 

“He encouraged the participants to 

engage in the Q & A activity as he 

noticed some were too shy to put 

their hands up. 

“He shared stories of his career and 

answered any questions about what 

it’s like growing up as a footballer.” 

Stephen also participated in World 

Book Day and the Stags’ number 16 

was filmed reading out a question 

for young Mansfield supporters 

to answer, in partnership with the 

National Literacy Trust. 

“Mansfield Town is a communitybased 

club,” Stephen said. 

“By supporting the community, 

you can tell there’s a comradery 

between supporters and players and 

everything about the club. 

“It’s great to come down and visit the 

school and put our own time back 

into it.” 

Over the final few months of the 

academic year, Stephen and other 

first team players will be working 

with Mansfield Town Football in the 

Community again, visiting other PLPS 

partner schools as well as additional 

projects that the community 

organise. 

Gary added: “Taking time out of 

their day to visit these sessions is 

vital in bringing the club and local 

communities together, and Stephen 

Quinn has led by example with this.” 

The PFA’s director of corporate 

social responsibility, John Hudson, 

congratulated the midfielder on the 

accolade. 

He said: “The PFA has been 

immensely proud of the outstanding 

efforts of players during a very 

difficult season once again and we 

feel they should be recognised for 

their support and involvement in the 

local community. 

“We would like to offer our 

congratulations to this season’s 

recipient of the 2021/22 PFA 

Community Champion Award.”

Stags finish runners-up in 

academy tournament 

A squad of Mansfield Town 

academy players competed at 

a tournament at Brooke House 

college, Market Harborough, this 

month – finishing runners-up at 

the event. 

Organised by the college’s 

technical director, Micky Adams, 

the tournament consisted of eight 

teams, split into two separate group 

stages. 

On Monday, the young Stags played 

their three group matches. Mansfield 

faced Doncaster Rovers, Brooke 

House College (team one) and 

Hungarian side, REAC. 

Twenty Mansfield Town academy 

boys were included in the squad 

across the two days of tournament 

football. 

The event’s layout consisted of 

45-minute matches. The Stags 

recorded a fine 2-0 victory over REAC 

in their opener, courtesy of a brace 

from attacker McKeal Abdullah. 

Another challenging test followed; 

Mansfield played Brooke House 

with a youthful side that consisted 

of numerous under-15s. The 

youngsters performed admirably 

against a powerful side that have 

a record of players moving on to 

Premier League academies. 

In the final group match, against 

Doncaster, goals from Curtis Davies 

and Abdullah ensured Mansfield 

progressed through to Tuesday’s 

semi-final. 

Mansfield faced Hull City in the semifinal 

and performed excellently as 

15-year-old defender Cormac Maher 

and Abdullah scored in a 2-0 victory 

to see the Stags reach the final. 

In the final, Mansfield again faced 

Brooke House College (team one) 

with a line-up of players that have 

played the majority of this season’s 

Youth Alliance League matches. The 

Stags narrowly lost 1-0 but produced 

a superb display against tough 

opposition. 

Professional development phase 

lead, Sam Collins spoke about how 

well the Mansfield squad played 

across the two days. 

“All the players are not at school 

at this moment so they’re training 

every day with us,” he said. 

“Socially, the lads from other age 

groups are getting to know each 

other and the way they played 

and represented the club was an 

absolute credit. 

“I’d like to give a special mention to 

McKeal Abdullah who was top scorer 

in the tournament and was voted 

player of the tournament by the 

panel of voters.”

THE 

ACADEMY 

Mansfield Town under-18s’ holding 

midfielder Jonty Bouch reflects on 

his second year in the youth team 

and the experience he has been able 

to pass on to the first-year players in 

the squad… 

think we had a great start to 

I the season. I’ve enjoyed every 

moment of it, and I’ve learned a lot 

from the coaches and loads from 

the other players as well. We have a 

good brotherhood in the changing 

rooms and on the pitch. 

We have various talks with the 

coaches, and so I’ve learned lots of 

things off the pitch as well as on the 

pitch. The coaches have helped me 

develop my decision-making skills on 

the ball, helped me to relax more on 

the ball and have built my fitness up 

when coming in and out of injuries. 

In the first year, I was given the 

captain’s armband for most of the 

season so that really developed my 

leadership skills and I have been 

able to use them in my second year 

when the captain’s armband was 

passed to one of the first years. I’ve 

been able to pass on my leadership 

skills and that has helped me on the 

pitch. Knowing how to motivate my 

teammates has allowed us to play 

and perform better on the pitch. 

From last season to this season, the 

link-up play has definitely improved 

a lot. The tempo we use has seen us 

play a lot of one-touch football. A few 

new first years have come in and are 

quite technical and that has been 

very good when we are on the front 

foot, and it has allowed us to create a 

lot more chances. 

When the younger players came in, 

the bond wasn’t there straight away, 

but after a week or so, we were all 

like best mates and got along so well. 

I love everyone to bits, so the bond 

with the whole squad this season has 

been fantastic. 

You can see it on the pitch as 

everyone is in tune with each other 

which helps us to play better. If one 

of the lads is not having the best day 

on the pitch, we know how to pick 

them up a bit because we have 

got to know everyone as a 

person and as a player, so it 

is important to have a good 

relationship. 

Charlie Carter is the captain 

now, and I can remember 

when George Cooper did 

it with me when he passed 

the captain’s armband 

down. Being able to pass 

on my leadership skills 

to Charlie and seeing him 

develop into more of a leader 

has been fantastic.

Mansfield Town Ladies’ manager 

Andi Bell positively looks forward to 

challenging for two trophies at the 

end of the season with her side in the 

finals of both the County Cup and the 

League Plate. 

think we played really well 

I against Rotherham in the league 

and we scored some good goals 

with some good build-up play in 

the first-half. In the second-half 

it was a bit disappointing that we 

did not extend our lead, but we did 

the job and achieved our target. 

We will be playing Rotherham in 

the League Plate final. Both teams 

will be heading into the game full of 

confidence, but we have certainly got 

the mental edge over them. We’ll go 

out there and play to the best of our 

abilities and, hopefully, get the win. 

In the league fixtures, we have just 

got to put on as much pressure as 

we can on the teams around us by 

winning all of our games, and also 

hope that those sides drop points. 

This means that anything is still 

feasible. This goal and focus will 

hopefully help our mindset because 

we know what we’ve got to do to try 

and achieve those targets. 

I’m really pleased with how the 

season has gone, but the one 

frustrating thing is that those games 

which we have not won is probably 

because we have not taken our 

chances. 

No teams have outplayed us, and I 

still believe that when we are at our 

best we can be right up there and 

no-one can beat us. 

I think we have had a lot of things 

thrown at us this season. We lost our 

main goalkeeper, we’ve had a couple 

of players out with injury, not to 

mention COVID-19. We’ve had a lot to 

contend with, and to still be up there 

challenging in two cup finals is very 

pleasing. 

Anyone will know that against 

Nottingham Forest in the County Cup 

we are probably the underdogs. I just 

want us to go out there and give a 

really good account of ourselves as 

we have done a fantastic job to get to 

the final of that competition. 

It is 11 versus 11 so anything can 

happen, but I want my players 

to go out there and enjoy the 

occasion of playing against 

Forest. 

When we entered the 

Plate this season, we were 

expecting nothing less 

than to win it and that 

was the goal. I still feel the 

same way as I did at the 

start of the season and, as 

mentioned earlier, I think 

that we have the edge over 

Rotherham. 


FOOTBALL KIT GIVEAWAY – PREMIER 

LEAGUE PRIMARY STARS 

Over the last month, Mansfield Town Football in the 

Community have teamed up with the EFL Trust and 

Papa John’s to donate football kits to say ‘thank you’ 

to partnered schools and show appreciation for the 

work that has been done over the last year as part of 

the Premier League Primary Stars delivery provided 

to schools. 

Community manager Gary Shaw expressed his gratitude 

towards all the schools that FITC have worked with. 

“We run after school clubs as well as our P.E. delivery 

as part of Premier League Primary Stars, and from the 

feedback we can see that it has been very well received,” 

he said. 

“You can see participants of our holiday club already know 

the coaches and begin to interact with them as soon as they 

walk through the door in the morning and that is great.” 

Football in the Community are looking forward to 

continuing their partnerships through the 2022/23 season.

THE GOLDEN ARCHIVE 

‘HIS STORY’ 

PROJECTING A PARADE OF GLORIOUS DAYS FROM 

THE WORLD’S OLDEST PROFESSIONAL GROUND. 

From the sublime to the ridiculous 

and everything in between, we look 

back with a Stags’ hero of the past, 

focusing on memorable behind-thescenes 

moments that they will never 

forget. 

Continuing the season with ‘His- 

Story’, is former defender and 

midfielder Jamie Clarke. Jamie 

began his career with Mansfield’s 

youth set-up before progressing to 

the first team, playing 33 times for 

the club, and netting one goal. 

have lots of stories from my 

“I time at Mansfield – I was there 

for five years, and I sometimes 

think I was more prolific off the 

pitch than I was on it with some of 

the escapades I had. 

One story that stands out involves 

Neil MacKenzie – and how he once 

tackled a snake. 

This particular incident followed an 

important away match against Hull 

City. Macca was a substitute on this 

occasion but came on for us and 

scored the only goal of the game in a 

1-0 victory. As you can imagine, the 

lads were buoyant with the result 

and, upon returning to Mansfield, we 

all went out to celebrate the win. 

Whenever we went out, and if any of 

the lads needed somewhere to stay, 

they often stayed at mine. Anyway, 

the morning after the night before 

- at 7am – there was an incessant 

banging at the front door. Naturally 

I wondered who it was, so I looked 

out of my bedroom window and 

saw Macca – still with his club suit 

on but with a big pot on his arm. I 

asked him what had happened, and 

he replied, in his Birmingham accent, 

‘I tackled a snake’. 

Apparently, he’d been back to Rhys 

Day’s house with a number of others 

to carry on with the celebrations. 

Macca had spotted Rhys’ pet snake 

and – trying to be funny – ventured 

towards it but tripped on the carpet 

and fell into the glass cabinet that the 

snake was kept in and fracturing his 

arm in the process. 

This highlighted the quick 

turnaround in Macca’s fortunes - from 

the euphoria of scoring the winning 

goal to, hours later, ending up in 

hospital with a fractured arm. 

Another story I recall is when, at the 

end of the promotion season, the 

bus broke down during the open-top 

parade around town. One particular 

road appeared to be too steep for the 

bus to drive up so, after it had stalled, 

myself, Andy White, Bobby Hassell, 

and a few others got out to give it a 

push and managed to get it going 

again so we could all then enjoy the 

rest of the parade! 

The club’s sponsor at the time was VK 

and it transpired there was so much 

of it on board that the bus hadn’t 

made it up the hill due to too much 

weight!”

Front cover: To celebrate our 

125th year, each edition of The Stag 

this season will feature a different 

home shirt from our history on 

its cover. Created by Surridge and 

sponsored by One Call Insurance, 

Stags wore this kit for two seasons, 

from 2015 to 2017 in Sky Bet 

League Two. It was the first kit to 

be used in two consecutive seasons 

since 1996 to 1998.
