Win with Mansfield Matters

The greatest draw for me when I first discovered football was to learn about the game and embrace its history, the same goes for the Stags whom I fell in love with from the very first second. Each club has a historian or a fan with a lightening quick memory to the games of yesteryear, I’ve always been in awe of these people and aim to be like them myself one day. Sometimes it’s difficult to remember everything though and aids are needed to take you down memory lane, well a new book researched and written by Chad journalist Stephen Thirkill does just that.

‘Mansfield Town: 25 Most Memorable Matches’ picks 25 key games from throughout our beloved clubs history, some games remembered for things other than the result, a 3-3 FA Cup draw with minnows Hounslow in 1962 and our final ever football league game with Rotherham United in 2008 the prime examples.

Each match has been thoroughly researched, it’s story poignantly told and relived through the eyes of those involved – The book is a wonderful trip of nostalgia and is extremely insightful to those younger fans such as myself out there.   

On sale at the club shop and at the Chad Offices on Newgate Lane, the latest Chad Stags Sports Publication is certainly a must buy, however here at Mansfield Matters we have a signed by the author copy to give away to one lucky winner in our latest competition.
