club owner gives out his Aton Martin


A football club chairman has given his
Aston Martin car to the team's manager
as a reward for an 8-1 victory.
Mansfield Town chairman John Radford
handed over the keys to Paul Cox following
the win over Barrow on Saturday.
The Blue Square Premier team won 7-0
when they played Barrow last March and
Radford said he wanted to do even better
when the two teams met again.
"It's worth a bob or two," Mr Radford said.
'Top guy'
"It's my old Aston Martin so it's not brand
new. It's a couple of years old," he added.
"You have these things and you've got to
give people targets and things like that, so
he fancied the car and I thought I'm about
ready for a change and he did the job."
The car, worth up to £80,000, was waiting
in the car park of the Nottinghamshire club
after the game, already fitted with
personalised MT51 COX registration plates.
Cox told BBC Radio 5 live it was "a bit
surreal to be honest".
He said: "I didn't really take him at face value
when we was talking but to be fair to the
man he's a top guy and when he did it, it
was unbelievable.
"I love cars. I think every man does, don't
they, but it's the football that motivates me."
