I think he even settled down in Grimsby?  Nice guy, sad to see him go.  

All the best JPP.


Yeah he did, can see him signing for Ferriby or Lincoln so he can stay local

Don't get me wrong he worked hard and turned in some decent performances. I'm not slating the guy I'm simply suggesting he wasn't league standard.

He wasn't better than the front two we currently have therefore for me, he wasn't the league standard we needed. We have to be absolutely ruthless now.


Not league standard? Spent most of his career at a higher level and there is an excellent player in there who would have achieved a lot more if not for injuries.

Thanks JP and good luck.

Looked pacy and energetic when he first joined but has seemed a greatly diminished player to me this season. I just think he's never got properly fit this year though he's done OK when coming on as a sub on occasion.

Just had a quick look at his stats for the season and 5 league goals from 9 starts isn't too bad a record for a backup striker and he did quite well last year so I expect he will find himself a reasonable club without too many issues.

I'd settle for a replacement who had the same ability but without the injury problems!

Provided some decent back up, scored some good goals but wasn't good enough for league football IMO.

Good decision. Thanks for all the efforts JP


only because he's so injury prone .easily good enough for league 1 if he was fully fit and could get a consistent run behind him.
no reason why he shouldn't find himself another pro contract.him and east would both be good signings for the new man at lincoln

Great guy with enough ability but sadly, not the fitness, to stay on. Good luck wherever you go JP.

Apart from a couple of games where he scored two fine goals I don't think he showed the form he had last season especially in some of the recent games coming on as a sub.

Wish him all the best as he seemed to have a great attitude and thankfully that memory of that penalty miss has been put to bed now we have been promoted.

Would have been great for us if he hadn't had those injuries. Some blistering performances.

Best of luck for the future JPP.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Shame he was injured so much.

Hope he does well wherever he ends up.
Thanks for your efforts in getting us out of that excrement league.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
