Mansfield Town Football Club

Local businessman John Radford acquired Mansfield Town in 2010 when the club was languishing in non-league football. His investment stabilised the Stags financially, funded improvements to Field Mill, and provided the platform for the club's return to the EFL in 2013 and subsequent rise to League One via the 2024 League Two title. Radford's long-term commitment has been central to Mansfield's modern resurgence.
