Where are they now? The Mansfield Town team who beat Forest Green Rovers in Nov 2020 and gave Nigel Clough his first win

Nigel Clough was appointed as Mansfield Town’s manager on November 6, 2020 – and what an inspired appointment it has proven to be.

In those four years at the helm Clough has overseen the transformation of Stags from a team struggling to get going in League Two and match their ambition, to a team currenty lighting up League One.

His first win came in Gloucestershire with Stags beating Forest Green Rovers 2-1 eight days later. The goals came from George Lapslie and Harry Charsley with Stags lining-up in a 4-5-1 formation.

It’s been all change since that date with Stags going on an emotional rollercoaster.

Stags finished a lowly 16th in League Two during Clough’s first season in charge as he worked to put the foundations in place for a promotion push.

It was so nearly realised in the 2021/22 season when Stags were beaten by Port Vale at Wembley play-off final.

The following season brought more pain with Stags missing out on the play-offs to Salford by just a single goal.

But there was no stopping Stags last season with a 19 game unbeaten start setting the tone for a wonderful season ahead. Stags went on to rack up the wins – and goals – before promotion was finally clinched after a memorable win against Accrington Stanley.

Just three players now remain from the starting side that got the journey going – Jordan Bowery, Stephen McLaughlin and George Maris.

So where are rest of the players now and what became of them after the left Stags? Here we have all the answers.
