@onthisGTFCday Turns your stomach, should have been a Town player until retirement. Football club directors, eh.

[Mariners Scrapbook @RetroMariners]

@onthisGTFCday Lots to pick through here but the most upsetting is discovering that Bobby Roberts, who I always had in my head as looking at least 75, was actually several years younger than I am now.

Once a Mariner! Ex #GTFC reserve defender Graham Cawthorne is 66 today! Happy Birthday Graham!

@AnitaDavies12 @keef38 Hi Anita, would you be able to follow me so I can send you a DM? I'm working on a project with Grimsby Town to present players or family with their heritage number. Many thanks, Peter

@MarinerMen Here he is in 1980 with Steve Foley and a couple of other decent players... #gtfc

@TVFTL It's not true, just asked him. You can delete now you have your answer👍

@martinrobbo70 @algy04 @onthisGTFCday Haven't got the teamsheet but a Fulham fan confirmed it was Steve Hayward on a previous thread. Think Bracewell wore number 8.

@FairhavenGolf Hi, are you able to share what handicap is currently first on the reserve list? Thank you.

@onthisGTFCday The Saturday Telegraph report of the game

[Mariners Scrapbook @RetroMariners]

@onthisGTFCday So, so happy when Fordy re-signed the following season. Weren't there rumours we might get Kev Drinkell back as well but he ended up at Birmingham?

[Mariners Scrapbook @RetroMariners]

This was Alan Buckley's team with him in charge for well over a year at this stage. It's a fantastic line-up with proper legends throughout. Any team can have a bad run at any time, even the best. #gtfc

[Mariners Scrapbook @RetroMariners]

November 1989 and Town lose again at home without having a shot on goal. Even the Telegraph is calling them "clueless" having taken just 4 points from a possible 30. They would end the season promoted. #gtfc

[Mariners Scrapbook @RetroMariners]

@goalkeepersdiff @MarinerMen Correct, as he told Shoot in 1981. #gtfc

@MarinerMen @goalkeepersdiff @onthisGTFCday All you need is this thread of Nigelness

[Cod Almighty @codalmighty]

Of course everyone as every #gtfc fan knows, Nigel famously hit kick outs with his left foot and goal kicks with his right. Again no tactics here, just more showing off

[martin robinson @martinrobbo70]

@RetroMariners Went to this game , sat in the osmond seats . John Jensen , Brian Laudrup and Peter Schmichael wow
