One of the worst days of my life.
Half way up a mountain in Norway. Living in a fking snow hole. Whilst my boyhood dream of watching Town run out at Wembley was not looking good.
No tinterweb bollox those days. So luckily had no idea of the score.
Back to camp at 2am. The guy who ran the bar had not only recorded it, but kept the bar open for half a dozen of us to watch it. As if it were live. Me being the only Town fan. Fking brilliant. Warm room, cold beer and the promise of a 24,hour stand down if Town won. Get the fcuk in.
So for me. I remember Wayne Burnett day + 1.
To be fair to the squad, on hearing of my disappointment at not being there, they decided to go back a couple of weeks later and win again. This time in my presence. Happy days.

Remember Wayne Burnett being full of cold and struggling to breathe properly. Think it was Howe who gave away the corner, how fortunes change the cherries were so close to folding earlier.

Abdul's Auto Windscreens Shield (sometimes bafflingly called the Auto Windshield) fact of the day. It's the only time I've ever had a dump at a footy ground (I mean, it was in the toilet, I'm not an animal)
Also, Kevin Webster was playing in the charity match before the game.

A day and especially the golden goal moment that will live with me forever, what a feeling, what an era to be a Town fan.
|
| Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

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?

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.

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. |

That double substitution on 55 minutes Gally/Clare for Kingsley and Livvo. Totally changed the momentum of that game in our favour. Tactical genius. We caused them so many problems that 2nd half

Brian Clough said that it only takes a second to score a goal. Wayne proved that and what a very special one second!
As did the man he once signed for £1.5 million, Mr Kingsley Black. One of my favourite players of that era. |

I think lots of us had that re-action. I remember turning up not that long before kick-off to be confronted by 20-odd thousand Town fans around the curved end of the old Wembley. Talk about lump in the throat. NEVER thought I would see that.

Yes, probably my greatest Town memory, along with the night we beat Exeter 3-0 to win the 4th Division championship in front of a zillion town fans! Or so it seemed to a this young lad at the time! I wish there was footage of that night.
Must say the Arnold goal in the playoff final comes close though, because of what it meant in terms of a return to the league..

Same feelings along with Jevon`s goal at Liverpool and Wilko`s at Everton, Burnett`s because of what was then a seemed impossibility of us ever appearing at the old Wembley, and Jevon and Wilko because we were beating two teams on their own patches in a David v Goliath contest

Yes ! Jevons, Wilkos' Dobbins and Burnett's - I was there to see them all.
And some pillock has the cheek to say we've been spoilt. I've been watching for over
seventy years and for those four seconds I've been spoilt.
What does he know ?
