Mansfield's Carolyn Radford's unique campaign for FA Council seat

Mansfield Town chief executive Carolyn Radford has come up with a unique way of campaigning for a seat on the FA Council.

Radford has posted a quirky video of herself on YouTube which she says is a spoof of a 1960's campaign video by John F. Kennedy and definitely tongue-in-cheek.

The shots of Radford, who is married to chairman John, are accompanied in the video by a catchy jingle and begin with the lyrics:

"Do you want a girl on council, who is seasoned through and through, but not so seasoned she won't try something new. A girl who is old enough to know and young enough to do, well it's up to you, it's up to you, it's strictly up to you."

Radford, who is one of five people hoping to win one of two places to represent the EFL on the FA Council, says on her Facebook page: "It would be a dream come true to be named on the council. I've never done things by halves.

"I wouldn't if on the council, either - it just isn't my way.

"So, I thought I'd have some fun with the council vote. I had this video created; tongue firmly in cheek.

"My video is a direct and intentional send-up of this 1960 Kennedy presidential campaign jingle."

She added: "My video was only ever intended for those voting to see, but I'm certainly not ashamed of it. I want my children to grow up in a world where having fun while doing the best job possible isn't frowned upon, but actively encouraged."
