It all began on the 25 September 2010, when John Radford was revealed as Mansfield Town’s new owner, going on to celebrate with a 4–0 victory over Eastbourne Borough at Field Mil that day.
Under John – and wife Carolyn - Stags have enjoyed an unforgetable 16 years and have risen from a non-league club in crisis to a more than solid League One outfit.
They’ve totally reshaped the club and its infrastructure during that time and brought pride back to Mansfield.
Here we take a look back at some of the duo’s highlights.
