Scored goals for fun in Division 1 and scored goals for his country...Wales. My old man told me many years ago that Glover walked from South Wales to Grimsby for a trial and the management couldn't believe how good he was. At the time Town had Joe Robson at centre forward who was no slouch in the goalscoring stakes so Pat played for the Midland League side scoring I believe over 70 goals in one season. There was no protection for strikers in those days and injuries took their toll.. Glover last played just before WW2. The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

I would add the pre-war names of the home grown players Betmead and Buck, another home grown player who for many years held the appearance record, Keith Jobling. The great full back Don Donovan and his lad. Kevin Moore and Chris Nicholl Trevor Wymark and Kevin Drinkell Stuart Brace and Dave Boylen Batchy and Charlie Wright Too many ...... “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

Aye. Me too. Probably a few more too. But these are definitely in there. Plus THE Macca. Paul Groves = superb. Much underrated. Even though he is seen as a legend by some. 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.
