I hope I'm wrong but it seems that we are becoming a car pool team who don't really care about our town and people like Macca maybe Dis who live in the area being made surplus to requirements.at least Pearson seems to fit the mould.... For now anyway. Like I say I hope I'm wrong!

Aye, we signed him from PNE but he was at West Brom before them, with Buckley.

I couldn't care less, as long as they give their all. The days when footballers played for the place they grew up are behind us.

I do believe that most of the players mentioned if not all did actually live in the area though, again I might be wrong but I think Buckley requested it

Thanks for the answers.
So weve established he brought a few in he previously worked with, hardly qualifies as largely though....

He was. Managers like to sign people they know they can rely on. Completely natural thing to do.

Buckley also signed Paul Groves 3 times. Twice for us and once for West Brom. Dave Gilbert twice (us and WBA again).  And he also took Tony Rees, Paul Agnew, Arthur Mann (RIP) and a rusty old trawler* to WBA.

He brought Gilbert back here on a month's loan too, KM, at the start of 97/98.

I can remember him playing in that Oldham game when Lester scored a 20 second hat-trick. That's about it!

Had no idea I'd seen him play for Town until I checked Soccerbase and seen he'd played in that Oldham game. (I was 7 at the time so can be excused - my first game was Aug 96 vs Leeds.)

Remember that game fairly well considering my age. Me and me dad sat towards the Osmond end of the Findus.

First point is not unreasonable and an easily verifiable fact if anyone were inclined a) to check, and b) be bothered.

The second is a wildly uninformed conjecture with no basis in fact.  In layman's terms, a load of old bull-excrement.

As long as they are performing on the pitch and showing some desire what difference does it make if they settle locally or not? Would you like to uproot yourself and your family each time you get a new job? It's like "Oh I got a new job where I need to commute 2 hours there and back or I can move there,sell the house,move the kids to a new school leaving all their friends behind and be away from family".

I'm sure there will be somebody like "I was in a military family, I moved house 180 times and I turned out fine. Anyone playing for this club must live locally and rub shoulders with real Grimberians to learn the Grimsby pride, make em work down the docks and get the smell of fish on em that'll let them know what being in Grimsby is all about good honest hard working locals"

I seem to remember this too - Jack Lester didn't have to move from Sheffield though?

I guess nowadays with shorter contracts it's a bit more of an ask to get them to move to the area especially if they have families/kids in school?

It was the board that in 88 asked the manager to move to the area. I remember furneaux saying that a willingness to move to the area was felt to be an important sign of commitment. I think they also wanted players to move to the area as well to help build team spirit. It was pre-bosman so players tended to stay with one club for longer, so it wasn't as much of an ask as it would be today.

That's amazing. I'm surprised Oldham  managed to have time to kick off twice during those 20 seconds.

One question: why would anyone, footballer or not, choose to live in Grimsby if they didn't have to? Also, how do you define 'locally '? Is Market Rasen local? Lincoln? Scunthorpe? It's an unenforceable policy to make all players live 'locally'
