The day Stags celebrated promotion to the EFL with an open top bus parade
It’s been quite the journey for Stags since the wonderful day back in 2013 when Mansfield Town finally returned back to the Football League.
It took five seasons of hard work, false hope and plenty of pain before Paul Cox found the magic ingredients to blend a squad together capable of going the distance during the 2012/13 season.
They did it with a nervy 1-0 win over Wrexham thanks to a Matt Green penalty on 20 April 2013 on a day no Stags fan who was there is ever going to forget.
It capped a remarkable run of wins in the closing stages of the season which saw Stags equal a club record 12 wins in a row on their way to pipping Kidderminster Harriers to the title.
Adam Murray described the moment as the best in his career, saying: "It's the best feeling I've ever had. I can't believe we're champions. It's been a hard season and we've done it."
John Radford, who bought the club in 2010, at the time said: "We're back where we deserve to be in League Two, and hopefully out of that [division] quite quickly and going up rather than down."
