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 behindthe-scenes moments they will never forget. Continuing the season with ‘His-Story’ is former goalkeeper Ian Bowling, who made 172 appearances for the club from 1995 to 2000. here are a couple of stories “Tthat spring to mind from my time at the club. We had a good team spirit at Mansfield – a good bunch of lads with no egos, who always stuck together. One pre-season, under Steve Parkin, we went to Ireland. We were based in the middle of nowhere. There was just one long street, a market square, with a number of pubs. Steve told us to go out for a pint on the night we got there so, of course, we did. We ventured into this first pub (a squad of 17 of us), and it was like one of those typical village scenarios – with everyone stopping what they were doing and looking at us as we ventured through the front door. Anyway, we went to the bar and as we were in Ireland, we ordered a round of Guinness. The landlord served us – one of the lads went to pick his up and the landlord stopped him, saying it wasn’t ready yet – that you have to tap the glass with an Irish pound, and it’s ready only when it makes a certain noise. We all stood there tapping our pints and Steve Harper said his wasn’t ready, telling the landlord he thought there was something wrong with his drink as it was making a different sound to everybody else’s. The landlord swiftly picked Steve’s pint up, looked at it, took a sip … and proceeded to neck it all! He then put it down before walking away saying “Mmm, nothing wrong with that pal!”. We were all laughing as Harper was stood raging, left without a pint! There was another time we went out, around Christmas one year. This was when Brian ‘Killer’ Kilcline was at the club. Every day Brian would turn up to training dressed in sports jacket, collar and tie, whilst everyone else would be in jeans or tracksuit. Anyway, someone said that at Christmas we should all go out dressed as ‘Killer’ - which we did! So, this one year, we’d all gone to the local charity shops and bought some garish jackets, ties and shirts – all typical of the type Brian would wear. After training, Killer was in the dressing room on his own and then we all walked in. As you can imagine, Brian wasn’t expecting the sight of us all dressed like him – but he took it in his stride and he blended in perfectly! It was all good fun.” Mansfield Town Football Club mansfieldtownfc mansfieldtownfc THE STAG | 27
