Stags Boss inspires seniors to get their boots back on | EFL Day of Action 2021

Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough took time out of his busy schedule to join a virtual session with our senior participants as part of the EFL’s Day of Action 2021.

The EFL Day of Action highlights the incredible work that Club Community Organisations (CCOs) do in their local areas. For Mansfield Town, the focus was on connecting with our older participants who have been shielding or isolated during the challenges of the past year.

Nigel Clough spoke passionately about the importance of mental and physical wellbeing, encouraging our walking footballers and senior attendees to keep active and connected, even when they cannot be out on the pitch.

Clough said: "It’s vital that we look after the older members of our community. Seeing them still motivated to keep their boots on and stay involved with the club is truly inspiring. The work the Community team does here is exceptional."

The session ended with a lively Q&A, bringing smiles to the faces of participants who have been looking forward to a return to normality and the fellowship that football provides.
