Scored at Mansfield last time we played there, the day of the cancelled Grand National, I think.

Absolutely correct on both accounts!

 

It was whilst I was looking up the last time we played Mansfield that I noticed that 'Ziggy' had scored which in turn led me to thinking where he was these days!

There is a 2 page article on Mark Seagraves in this seasons programme at home to Wigan,with a photo of his goal against Liverpool in the cup.

 

To this day i still blame our FA Cup exit at Derby on Mark Seagraves being unavailable and his place being taken by Jason Lydiate.
