Notts County reached the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy after overcoming Yeovil Town 2-1 at Huish Park despite finishing the game with nine men on the field. Connell Rawlinson opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the game before Wes Thomas was dismissed for raising his hands to an opponent shortly before half-time. However, Notts were able to double their lead despite the numerical disadvantage, Kyle Wootton coming off the bench to net in the 70th minute of the game.

The opening of this memorial message has been constructed by Notts fan @Darryl Broughton, as fan messages came pouring in the news – first with the Notts County Supporters Club. It quickly became apparent how much the magpies’ star had touched the lives of many. Mick Vinter joined Notts County in 1971/1972 season, he was a great player for the reserves, being the top scorer with 26 goals from that season. He continued to be a regular striker for the reserves making the odd substitute appearance for the first team in the early days. Eventually, he made a regular striking partnership in the first team with Les Bradd in season 1975/1976. It was a joy and pleasure to have watched him play for Notts County. Notts County fans pay respect to Mick Vinter: Team-mate Les Bradd described the passing of Magpies' legend as, "Very sad to hear." Notts County also lead paying respects, with a beautiful piece from former BBC commentator Colin Slater. The full article can be read over on the OS website - Here. We at Pride of Nottingham would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mick Vinter, who has sadly passed away aged 65.
