Carolyn Radford, the owner of Mansfield Town, was nearly caught in a football faux pas before the FA Cup match against Arsenal. Live on TNT Sports, as she approached for an interview, Radford held a half-and-half scarf in her hand, ready to wear it. However, Steve McManaman, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid star, intervened just in time.
McManaman cautioned her against wearing the scarf, noting, "You lose credibility wearing half-and-half." He suggested she opt for a Mansfield Town scarf instead, prompting Radford to place the half-and-half scarf down on the table.
Mansfield was hoping for an upset against the Premier League leaders, having previously made it to the fifth round after a surprising victory over Burnley. Radford, who expressed excitement about hosting Arsenal at their Field Mill ground, mentioned her family's mixed allegiance to both teams, particularly for their sons who are fans of Bukayo Saka.
Despite her close call with the half-and-half scarf, Radford remained in good spirits, looking forward to seeing Premier League stars at their stadium.
