This is what the Discussion forum is for...even if someone just compared Johnny Mullins and Ryan Tafazolli with George Foster
Big George was immense, for many years and was a Championship standard defender, playing in his prime for a Lg2 and then a Lg1 Mansfield team.....he was also as hard as nails.
The fact we made good money from Simon Coleman and that Kevin Gray went onto bigger and better teams is also testament to George and how he helped bring them on.....
Flinty is great......just what we needed but even he aint anywhere near George Foster yet !!
Remember the interview on the pitch at Chester in 87....

The psychological aspect of him in a Stags shirt has definitely won us points. The fact his name was on the teamsheet against Notts County at home gave us all a huge lift and no doubt influenced the County mentality.
