Great picture Les, You in the picture or didn't you invade?


I was on the pitch that day, it's the only time I've ever gone on to the pitch in 40 years supporting Town.


Grimsby and proud!

Quoted from Perkins
I doubt with this only being a friendly it will live up to anything like previous encounters of which there have been some classics.
The best I remember was the end of season game in 1980 when we beat them 4-0 and won promotion from the third to the second division. Over 19,000 at BP with Joe Waters scoring and Drinkell getting a hat trick.
Their side had the magical & legendary Alex Sabella who went on to play for Leeds and managed Argentina till 2014, but he was kept totally out of the game that day by our own legend Kevin Moore.
Great Days.




There used to be a story that when they signed Sabella they where offered a young Diego Maaradona for £100K he was just about to break into the national team but their chairman at the time thought it was a gamble. Whether it's true or not I don't know but the story did the rounds for ages.

If you want pleasant I suggest you keep away from Cleethorpes centre on Saturday especially if you have kids, it's safe to say there will be plenty of United down for more than just a footy game.


To the 18 political correct liberal lefties who stink this forum out can I just say......I did tell you what was going to happen

With that level of insight and perception, perhaps you should have been an investigative journalist.

He mentioned them in his book but didn't go into any detail iirc.
