Steven Blakeley (PC Geoff Younger) is from Bolsover though no idea if he is a Stag or an inbred sheep botherer.

He's not a football fan. Lives at Scarcliffe.

I bumped into him in a bar on 2004 and asked him if he'd been to the play off final at Cardiff. He said "I couldn't get a ticket". Says it all.

Leonard Fenton, who played Doctor Legg in Eastenders. Not sure the connection to Stags as born in London. Saw him at Wembley in 1987. Remember reading a newspaper story at the time about his affiliation to MTFC.

Maybe due to giving him a run in our reserves.


Well if true that's totally ridiculous. The last thing we needed to do was give him a run. Who the hell was coaching?. We should have been checking his ball control, tackling ability and passing.

It is true, Andy King put him on the first team bench for a game at Walsall, I was there around 1996 at a guess.

I believe he was used as a fitness coach, and I've got a feeling that in the pre 'got to have a licence to fart' days, he was pretty well qualified for the role.

P.S. It was also a pretty good publicity stunt/profile raiser for the club.

I watched him play (& score) in the reserves one night. There were about 500 there mostly to see Daley Thompson.

He could run fast & he took his goal well, but as a footballer, he was an excellent decathlete. Still not even close to being in the top 10 worst players I've seen play for Stags.

Bill Maynard (as opposed to Nicky - very different athlecticism there :D ) was indeed spotted at a game against Bolton in the late 70's.

The reason ... he was a big fan of Frank Worthington (who was playing for Bolton).

We can't claim Bill Maynard as a Stags fan.

Dunno why but I thought it was Ray Clarke

It was Ray Clarke, Belly.

Sat near Bill Maynard in the West Stand at quite a few home matches way back then. Not sure of his connection with Clarkey but he did come to watch him specifically and got very excited and animated when he scored. He came with a group of others and was a really friendly bloke to chat with.
