20 fascinating retro pics that roll the clock back over 40 years at Mansfield Town

To help fill the gap we’ve nipped into Chad’s archives to look back at classic images of decades gone past.

Here we are focusing on the 1980s with some classic images of Field Mill under snow, testimonial games, player of the year presentations and some match action against Peterborough and Bournemouth amongst others. There’s also future Premier League player Simon Coleman signing a pro deal after coming through the ranks at Stags.

It was a fascinating decade for Stags with the early 80’s laying the foundations for the famous team of the 1986/87.

We’d love to hear your memories of following Stags during the 80s. Tell us your favourite players and most memorable matches by joining the debate over on our social media channels.
