Here we share just some pictures of our kids getting to live the dream at the One Call Stadium – as well as other games in the Mansfield Youth Football League.
It’s not every day that you get to play at a professional stadium as a kid – or an adult for that matter – and it is no doubt an occasion that has lived long in the memory for any local youngster who had the pleasure.
Here we have plenty of pictures of cup finals from the Chad Youth League and some of cracking games from down the years.
If you’ve ever played for a junior team in our area, or you have a child who has, then you might be able to spot someone you know. Take a look and see if you can recognise a familiar face.
Share your memories and pictures of your time playing in the league via our social media channels.
