As a Micky-mouse cup, I thought that I did not care who won.  When the game kicked off I was suddenly desperate to win.  A win is a win at Wembley.

Brian Clough said that it only takes a second to score a goal.  Wayne proved that and what a very special one second!

Pre-match drinks at a nearby pub, with Bournemouth fans also there, got things going.  Chats to all a lass supporting Bournemouth to get her t its out, resulted in just that!  Anyone else remember that?

Yes me. Thanks to you you saucy little beggar, that's the day I decided to have a sex change and become a Grimsby fan.


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.

Strangely my abiding memory was not Wayne Burnett golden goal but the moment the teams walked out.

I never, ever thought my beloved team would walk out at Wembley, it was then the reserve of the big clubs, tears rolled down my cheeks


To "roll with it" by Oasis if I recall correctly, just awesome

I forget the name of the pub in Bayswater which was owned by a Town fan which was absolutely rammed on the Sunday before the game. It was quicker to go across the road to the McDonalds to use the loo it was that full both inside and out.

Was a brilliant pre-match atmosphere there on the day.

Not the old 'I was only using the toilet' routine Les.

What was your excuse for the bbq sauce on your chin 😃

PS.    You didn't see Danny North in there by any chance did you  😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I took my granddaughter to Wembley and I told her she was very lucky,

I had waited until Town got to Wembley before visiting the stadium,

So I was 50 years old by the time I made it,

Then what do you know we go again 5 weeks later,

It was Les and got plenty of publicity.
We played Ipswich (I think) early the following season and it was on Sky.   As I was in London at that weekend I went there. The 'massive Grimsby Town fan' wouldn't even put it on.   He said his 'regulars' wanted the horse racing on.  If only I was on the fishy then he would have got my twit of the week.  Can't remember which pub we did watch it on. But I think we lost anyway.
