I generally always try to have a quick look at Sweden Stags match previews, mainly to see if I remember any of the old matches he mentions. Anyway, nowadays I'm being drawn to more of the "Played for both teams" section, and wondering which other club has had/provided the best all-round team of ex-Mansfield players.
My first thoughts on this were probably Chesterfield/Notts County or Nottm Forest but looking at the Scunthorpe Utd boys who had played for us, was just great. In their hey-day imagine a team consisting of:
Bobby Olejnik
Luke Waterfall
Krystian Pearce
Luke O’Neill
Ian Baraclough,
Neal Bishop,
Steve Charles,
Wayne Corden
Stephen Dawson
Dudley Roberts
Billy Kee,
Subs : Craig Davies, Neil Mackenzie, David Mirfin
Have a check through old AbbaStags other previews for a team that could rival this one... my betting is Forest would be the best, but it may surprise you, like Scunny did with me.
Have a go !!!
