The away game was the last game of the season. We were already promoted but I think that they needed to get a result to secure the last spot.

Not exactly sure how many fans we took there but it was several thousand and loads of coaches. I remember there being loads of trouble and our coach returned with about 4 windows and a dozen people less than what it went with!

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

Best keep those geeks out of sight.


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.

What even when they clashed with Town games?

You can pay at the gate, that's what I'll be doing    



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
