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.

Notts County have announced the permanent signing of Kyle Wootton from Scunthorpe United. The 23-year-old has been sensational at Meadow Lane since his loan switch last summer, scoring 12 goals so far. Neal Ardley admitted last week that Notts had working for two months on turning the transfer of Wootton into a permanent one and it has certainly reaped dividends. Wootton has signed a deal that runs until the end of the 2021-22 season and whilst the fee is officially undisclosed, the Nottingham Post has reported it as around £60,000. “I’m absolutely delighted to get it done,” Wootton told the club media team. “I couldn’t be happier and I’m ready to keep improving and helping the club go in the right direction. “I’ve been here on loan and it’s felt like home – that’s a really important thing for me. “I was at Scunthorpe for 13 years and it was a massive part of my life but it’s the right time to move on. “This club has a big place in my heart and I’m ready to keep moving forwards with Notts now.” Share your thoughts about this story on Pride of Nottingham by signing up to the website, visiting the forum and joining in the chat with hundreds of fellow Notts County fans.
