Maybe a Pontoon chant on the first day of the season,
"One Graham Holness, there's only one Graham Holness"
He'd love that I'm sure.

Come on Graham you can do it,its just another big match you have to deal with.
Some wonderful memories regarding Graham who I must say is always at the games on Blundel Park.
Graham for instance when I was a player with Laurie Mac he always turned up at Blundel Park especially when we had a practice match on Blundel Park.
He use to stand behind the pontoon end goal and roar like out when a goal was scored, especially if it was Matt Tees he thought he was the bee"s knees.
One of his most treasured moments at Blundel Park was when Laurie Mac who had got fed up with our strikers missing chances that he stopped the game brought Graham on the pitch through the ball up in the air told Graham to head the ball in the net, whispering to Harry Wainman to let it go in the net which he did and we all clapped him of the pitch.
Laurie Macc"s words were " now thats what I call a good goal" and thats what you must do to win a game pointing at Stuart Brace and Matt Tees.
Will never forget that indeed a true genuine Grimsby Town supporter always at the games when he can make it and I sincerly hope that he gets better very quickly.

Graham must have been about 7 or 8 at this time??? I remember him running around the Pontoon around 1974ish, I always thought the was older than me because he was a big strong lad at that time but he is what? 53/54 now? |

I have known Graham since he was a young lad when we lived in Lovett St,
He is definitely Town's N0. 1 fan,
Always had a chat with him whenever I saw him at a game ,
Get well soon big man you can do it,
Love to Graham and his family.xx

I think he must be nearer 60 now. I remember Graham used to come to the Sussex Rec Sixes every year and the little kids would tease him into trying to kick a ball in the net between the games. He would be around late teens in the late 70s. He was very overweight in those days too. |

He's early 50s. The travel club bought him a shirt with Graham 50 on it a couple or so years ago for his 50th birthday. |
