Mark Stallard today turned up to training with a black eye following a flailing arm from an Ilkeston defender in last night's friendly.

He told mansfieldtown.net after training:  "One of their (Ilkeston's) big centre backs tried to give me a bit of a kick and caught me with his flailing elbow.

"But it doesn't scratch the surface compared to other injuries I've had in my career," he added.
