Mansfield Town
In 2010, Radford bought Mansfield Town from Steve Hymas, Steve Middleton and chairman Andy Saunders for £1. The club's ground Field Mill remained in ownership of Keith Haslam until Radford's purchase in 2012. Then a Football Conference side, Radford promised to return them to the Football League, which was achieved in 2013.
When buying, Radford had pledged to invest £500,000 into the club; his investment, however, was higher at an estimated £100,000 per month. He had already given the club £250,000 to save it from administration.
In February 2013, following an 8-1 win for Mansfield against Barrow, Radford donated an Aston Martin DB9 car valued at £80,000 to manager Paul Cox as a reward. Radford had wanted to reward Cox for improving on the previous season when they had beaten Barrow, 7-0. Cox departed in November 2014 by "mutual consent".
