JOHN RADFORD<br />
Welcome to <strong>Carlisle</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
chairman Andrew Jenkins and<br />
<strong>Salford</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s board of directors for<br />
this week’s two home games at One<br />
Call Stadium.<br />
Due to programme printing<br />
deadlines, I am writing these notes<br />
before the Emirates FA Cup third<br />
round draw. By the time you read<br />
this, I hope the draw has been<br />
favourable to us, our players and<br />
management, given their exploits this<br />
season in the world’s oldest domestic<br />
cup competition.<br />
I was most proud of our performance<br />
at Doncaster Rovers.<br />
We performed superbly in the<br />
previous round at Sunderland,<br />
which was followed by an equally<br />
memorable day at Keepmoat<br />
Stadium at the weekend.<br />
As many of you know, I have enjoyed<br />
long-standing ties with Doncaster for<br />
many years. My company, One Call<br />
Insurance, is based there and has<br />
previously sponsored Rovers over<br />
many seasons.<br />
<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong>, of course, is and<br />
always been my club since I was a<br />
boy and for me to see over 3,000<br />
Stags’ fans in such fine voice from<br />
start to end made the victory even<br />
more special.<br />
Well done to Nigel, the players<br />
and our supporters for creating an<br />
unforgettable afternoon.<br />
I have been so heartened to see<br />
our management and squad turn<br />
the form book upside down and<br />
earn seven wins from our last eight<br />
fixtures. This should show the<br />
character which we have in our<br />
squad.<br />
As a result of our excellent form, I am<br />
hopeful that our Christmas Cracker<br />
ticket deal will be well received. We<br />
have endeavoured to make watching<br />
the Stags as affordable as possible<br />
over the festive period as we know<br />
that money can be scarce at this time<br />
of year.<br />
Thank you to you all for your positive<br />
and encouraging support.<br />
COYS!!!<br />

CLOUGH<br />
Welcome to <strong>Carlisle</strong> <strong>United</strong> the supporters who travelled such<br />
manager Keith Millen, <strong>Salford</strong> long journeys to Sutton <strong>United</strong> and<br />
<strong>City</strong> manager Gary Bowyer and Crawley <strong>Town</strong> in recent weeks, so a<br />
both clubs’ staff and supporters to home draw and the opportunity to<br />
One Call Stadium for this week’s host a memorable cup tie would be<br />
two home matches.<br />
enjoyable.<br />
We head into our first game against<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong> off the back of a terrific<br />
victory away at Doncaster Rovers<br />
on Saturday in the Emirates FA Cup<br />
second round.<br />
I was incredibly proud of the players<br />
for our second-half display. I think<br />
the performance after half-time was<br />
probably the best we have played<br />
this season and to do so against<br />
League One opposition was very<br />
encouraging.<br />
To attack the goal that 3,292 of our<br />
constantly-vocal supporters were<br />
situated behind in the second-half<br />
gave us a real lift. The support the<br />
team received on Saturday was<br />
special and we really wanted to<br />
reward the fans for the excellent<br />
backing they have given us all<br />
season.<br />
Some of the football we played in the<br />
win at Keepmoat Stadium was great<br />
to watch. It was pleasing to see a lot<br />
of the one and two touch play we<br />
work on in training come to fruition<br />
for our third goal of the afternoon.<br />
At the time of writing, I am<br />
unaware of the team we will<br />
face in the third round of the<br />
competition because of printing<br />
deadlines.<br />
I hope that we have the opportunity<br />
to host the fixture in front of our<br />
supporters at One Call Stadium. The<br />
lads and I are very appreciative of<br />
We have shown with our recent form<br />
of seven victories in eight games<br />
that we are building momentum<br />
ahead of an important stage in the<br />
season. There are many games over<br />
the festive period and we must look<br />
to accumulate as many points as<br />
possible in order to achieve our goals<br />
come the end of the season.<br />
We hope to build on our recent<br />
success on the road and give our<br />
home supporters two performances<br />
to be proud of.<br />
Enjoy the games.<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football Club is<br />
delighted to announce former<br />
goalkeeper Ian Deakin as our new<br />
commercial executive.<br />
Ian played for <strong>Mansfield</strong> from July<br />
2013 to August 2014 and was a<br />
popular member of the first team<br />
squad.<br />
Since retiring as a goalkeeper, the<br />
34-year-old has enjoyed an extensive<br />
career within sales and business<br />
development.<br />
Ian spent ten years working as<br />
a technical sales manager in<br />
the industrial, commercial and<br />
automotive industries.<br />
On joining the Stags in his new role,<br />
he said: “I want to work with local<br />
businesses in and around <strong>Mansfield</strong>.<br />
NEWSDESK<br />
FORMER GOALKEEPER ANNOUNCED AS NEW<br />
COMMERCIAL EXECUTIVE<br />
“It's a great town and it has good<br />
people in it. People work hard in<br />
this town and we appreciate all the<br />
sponsorship that comes in and the<br />
support the fans give us.<br />
“I want to help elevate the club as<br />
high as possible and I am working<br />
hard to do that."<br />
Ian has already begun work in his<br />
new role. The former <strong>Mansfield</strong><br />
'keeper has helped get sponsorship<br />
for the club's new scoreboard.<br />
“We have brought in some new<br />
sponsorship for the scoreboard this<br />
week and the signs will be going up<br />
before the <strong>Carlisle</strong> game.<br />
“The new scoreboard is brilliant – it<br />
looks impressive and is a tool I can<br />
utilise. I know the fans have been<br />
wanting it for a long time.<br />
“The chairman continues to back the<br />
club by installing that. It's part of the<br />
jigsaw.<br />
“You would love everything at a club<br />
to be all-singing, all-dancing and<br />
new, but it has to come as part of<br />
a jigsaw puzzle and we continue to<br />
develop on and off the field.<br />
“It's my role to make sure that<br />
development happens and to make<br />
sure we build those links."<br />
Ian is already the club's head of<br />
academy recruitment. His knowledge<br />
of the game, along with his sales<br />
career, make him a natural fit for his<br />
new position at the club.<br />
“In between playing football for<br />
a living I had a day job in sales<br />
management – technical sales for an<br />
automotive company.<br />
“When this job became available I<br />
believe David Sharpe looked at my CV<br />
– I had recently left my day job – and<br />
he asked me if I would come in and<br />
have an interview because of my skill<br />
set and it went from there.<br />
“I have been in the academy role for<br />
nearly two years now. Coops (Richard<br />
Cooper) and myself were at Forest<br />
together, so I have known him for a<br />
long time.<br />
"I am really pleased to be here. It is a<br />
club that is close to my heart and I'm<br />
excited to get started."<br />
The club’s chief executive, David<br />
Sharpe, said: “I’m delighted Ian has<br />
joined us. Having someone in the<br />
role who knows the club inside out<br />
will be a huge positive for us moving<br />
forwards.<br />
“I am confident that Ian will build<br />
upon the great relationships with our<br />
current partners and explore further<br />
opportunitiesfor the club on national,<br />
regional and local levels.”<br />

SPEEDO MICK VISITS ONE CALL STADIUM<br />
Michael Cullen, also known as<br />
‘Speedo Mick’, visited One Call<br />
Stadium recently as he continued<br />
his fundraising journey walking<br />
to football stadiums in the UK and<br />
Ireland.<br />
Mick, pictured above, has spent the<br />
last eight years raising money for<br />
homeless and mental health charities<br />
by walking to different footballing<br />
stadia in his underpants.<br />
“For the last few years I have been<br />
doing fundraising for charities up and<br />
down the country. I do it [the walk]<br />
all in a pair of knickers basically,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The last challenge [completed] was<br />
a 1,000 mile walk during the winter<br />
months of December and January.<br />
We raised quite a lot of money, half a<br />
million pounds!<br />
“In this year’s walk, I have upped my<br />
game a little bit. I am doing a 2,500<br />
mile walk which started on May 01<br />
and I have now been walking for<br />
seven months. No matter what the<br />
weather is like on the day I do it all in<br />
my Speedos.”<br />
Speedo Mick was keen to point<br />
out that despite the curiosity that<br />
surrounds his unique dresswear, the<br />
reasoning behind the walk is one of<br />
great importance.<br />
“The main purpose of the walk is<br />
that we are going to give a quarter<br />
of a million pounds of the money<br />
that we raised from the last walk to<br />
small charities that support mental<br />
health, disadvantaged children and<br />
homelessness. We are obviously<br />
fundraising as well.<br />
“I’m over 2,000 miles into the walk<br />
at the point of reaching One Call<br />
Stadium. Seven months I’ve been<br />
walking. It’s been a long walk and I<br />
just want to [finish the walk] and go<br />
home now to be honest,” said Mick.<br />
“I’ve had loads of support. I’ve had<br />
loads of people in <strong>Mansfield</strong> stopping<br />
and getting photographs with me and<br />
saying ‘keep going’ or ‘carry on Mick’<br />
which is really important for me.<br />
“The [previously mentioned] quarter<br />
of a million pounds is coming out<br />
of the Speedo Mick Foundation, a<br />
foundation I have set up myself.<br />
“I was an addict. I have been sobered<br />
now for 19 years. Thankfully, things<br />
have changed and I have the support<br />
so I just want to give back to fantastic<br />
charities that make a massive<br />
difference in our community.<br />
“Now I just want to give back through<br />
the Speedo Mick Foundation.”<br />

THE<br />
ACADEMY<br />
Head of academy recruitment, Ian<br />
Deakin, discusses the under-18s’<br />
development this season…<br />
We have players who are doing<br />
well at the minute, especially<br />
some of the first year scholars in<br />
Charlie Carter, Jakub Kruszynski,<br />
Taylor Anderson, Darien Wauchope<br />
– they’re playing under-18s football<br />
which is great.<br />
In terms of development and<br />
progression for them it’s brilliant that<br />
they are in and around our under-<br />
18s, alongside some of boys in the<br />
second year.<br />
It’s great to have some of the older<br />
ones doing well. Jack Deakin’s<br />
scoring a lot of goals at<br />
the minute, Diego<br />
Edwards is doing<br />
well too so we<br />
have a really<br />
strong team in<br />
the under-18s<br />
– both at first year and second year<br />
level.<br />
We go into every game trying to win<br />
and ensure the team continue their<br />
development.<br />
We just hope to continue to progress<br />
and push the lads to try and get in<br />
and around the first team’s squad.<br />
Ultimately, as an academy player<br />
that is what you want to do.<br />
They need to continue this<br />
progression, learn their trade and<br />
then hopefully they will be able to get<br />
into the first team.<br />
The lads will hope to follow in the<br />
footsteps of George Cooper, Nathan<br />
Caine, Ethan Hill and Josh Scott.<br />
Those players have gone into our first<br />
team squad and some are out on<br />
loan at the minute.<br />
For the boys it’s all about<br />
getting towards the next step<br />
in their careers.<br />

I hate ketchup. I can’t stand the smell or<br />
anything. I don’t like tomatoes at all.<br />
MODERN LIFE:<br />
People being too serious. I don’t get it when people<br />
can’t take banter.<br />
FASHION:<br />
Flared jeans. I can’t be dealing with them.<br />
SPORT:<br />
Cricket. It’s too long and boring to watch.<br />
WILDCARD:<br />
The M45.<br />
I’m always<br />
driving on<br />
it and the<br />
traffic on that<br />
motorway is<br />
a big pet hate<br />
of mine.<br />

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY CLUB AT MANSFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY<br />
The Christmas period is coming up<br />
and <strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football in the<br />
Community will be running their<br />
holiday club for three days starting<br />
from Monday 20 December through<br />
to Wednesday 22 December.<br />
Open for ages five to fifteen, the<br />
sporting activities are designed and<br />
delivered by an expert coaching team<br />
with the aim of being fun, interactive,<br />
and challenging for the children<br />
involved.<br />
Suitably skilled children will be<br />
recommended to the academy. It<br />
is important to note there are two<br />
activities for this Christmas provision.<br />
On Monday 20 December there will<br />
be an organised trip to a Christmas<br />
pantomime at the <strong>Mansfield</strong> Palace<br />
Theatre to watch Sleeping Beauty.<br />
This trip is part of the Junior SSA<br />
membership and is free of charge for<br />
members.<br />
Ice creams are provided at the interval<br />
and a Christmas gift will be given to<br />
each member. The meeting time is<br />
1:30pm outside the Palace Theatre.<br />
The show will begin at 2pm.<br />
WHO’S WHO<br />
Children can be collected at the<br />
Palace Theatre between 4:30pm-<br />
5:00pm depending on when the<br />
show finishes. This provision is for<br />
children only and parents will not be<br />
able to attend. All participants will be<br />
supervised by the FITC staff.<br />
For children four and below, an adult<br />
will have to attend and must purchase<br />
a ticket through FITC’s Joeanne<br />
Shuttleworth. She can be contacted<br />
at Joeanne.Shuttleworth@<br />
mansfieldtownfitc.net.<br />
On December 21-22 the Christmas<br />
holiday club will begin with two<br />
full days of football action. Doors<br />
will open at One Call Stadium from<br />
8:30am and close at 4:00pm. The<br />
activities will cost £16 per day.<br />
<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> FITC has formed a<br />
partnership with <strong>Mansfield</strong> Soup<br />
Kitchen. By donating a Christmas<br />
shoebox containing gifts such as<br />
gloves, socks, toothpaste, toothbrush,<br />
deodorant, razors, shower gel,<br />
shampoo and sweets, participants<br />
can attend both holiday club days for<br />
just £25.<br />
The shoeboxes will then be given to<br />
the homeless and donated to the<br />
<strong>Mansfield</strong> Soup Kitchen. Shoeboxes<br />
MUST be donated by Friday 17<br />
December at 12:00pm at the latest.<br />
Any shoeboxes donated after this date<br />
will not be accepted and you will not<br />
be offered the £25 discounted price<br />
for December 21-22. All participants<br />
should bring a packed lunch with<br />
them as well as a drinks bottle.<br />

THE GOLDEN<br />
‘HIS STORY’<br />
ARCHIVE<br />
PROJECTING A PARADE OF GLORIOUS DAYS FROM<br />
THE WORLD’S OLDEST PROFESSIONAL GROUND<br />
From the sublime to the ridiculous<br />
and everything in between, we look<br />
back with a Stags’ hero of the past,<br />
focusing on memorable behindthe-scenes<br />
moments they will never<br />
forget.<br />
Continuing the season with ‘His-<br />
Story’, is former central defender<br />
Tony Kenworthy who made 121<br />
appearances for the Stags from<br />
1986–90, scoring one goal. Most<br />
notably, Tony scored the winning<br />
penalty to defeat Bristol <strong>City</strong> in<br />
the Freight Rover Trophy final at<br />
Wembley in 1987.<br />
When I first signed for the<br />
club, which was on-loan, I<br />
drove over to <strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> to<br />
meet Ian Greaves and see what<br />
he had to offer. When I arrived, I<br />
was taken to the boardroom – and<br />
there was Ian. He was making<br />
a cup of tea for himself, and he<br />
asked me if I would like one – to<br />
which I replied, ‘Yes please’.<br />
He then proceeded to take the<br />
tea bag out of his own cup and<br />
squeeze it into mine! That was my<br />
cup of tea, and I thought ‘Yes, I’m<br />
going to come here!’.<br />
The culture at <strong>Mansfield</strong> was such<br />
a contrast compared with where<br />
I’d been previously, at Sheffield<br />
<strong>United</strong>. I went from having my<br />
kit ironed and hung up ready in<br />
the changing room, to having an<br />
apprentice, with a ball bag (with<br />
the kit in it), walk into the changing<br />
room and tip the bag up onto the<br />
treatment table. It was a free for<br />
all where everyone would jump<br />
up and get some kit. I remember<br />
my first training session when this<br />
happened – I was left with a red<br />
sock and a green sock!<br />
This typified how it was at the club,<br />
but it was a great mentality – I really<br />
enjoyed my time at <strong>Mansfield</strong>, and<br />
the camaraderie we had!<br />
From one day to the next we didn’t<br />
know what we’d be doing, or where<br />
we’d be training. At the time the<br />
training pitch at Field Mill wasn’t<br />
the best, so we’d end up turning up<br />
at different locations that Ian had<br />
spotted - somewhere, anywhere, he<br />
considered ‘decent’ enough for us<br />
to train!<br />
I remember when we played at<br />
Wembley. Just memories of Ian<br />
giving us a few beers the night<br />
before whilst we sat and listened<br />
to a team talk, then the morning of<br />
the match and Ian was deliberating<br />
whether to have a side parting in his<br />
hair or blow dry it! In fact, we had<br />
arrived a few days before the day of<br />
the final and arranged somewhere<br />
to do some light training. However,<br />
the pitch was not up to it, and Ian<br />
didn’t want to risk anyone getting<br />
injured, so we basically had a few<br />
days off instead. It was such a great<br />
time to play for the club, I really<br />
enjoyed being at <strong>Mansfield</strong>!<br />
