I see that there is a Broadley FC legends day being held at BP in August in aid of Blood Cancer UK.

It mentions Super Clive by name too, who I know has been a bit of a recluse since his football career ended so it'll be great to see him and many of the other players mentioned, gracing the BP pitch again.

I know Matt has been working hard on this with the help of the real life legend that is Macca.

Covid put the kybosh on the original plans I believe and for varying reasons it was planned to be held at Lindum, thankfully it’s at BP now, with some genuine town hero’s and will no doubt raise some serious cash for a great charity.

Top banana again...

I don't think anyone who supports Grimsby needs to be reminded of what a legend John McDermott is — but even in retirement, years beyond his last appearance for us, while assistant manager of a local club down the road, his value to us as a club, and a community, is immense. I believe he's been instrumental in attracting a lot of these players back — something that very few footballers could do, on this scale, for any other team in the country.

Thanks Macca (the original Macca), you're literally a legend!

Looking on Facebook the number of players and variety is massively impressive and beyond what you'd even expect at a testimonial. Some names here I would have never expected to lay my eyes on again at BP. Obviously they have been steadily announcing it for a few months now so I hope all are still available to come along.

From what I can gather the Legends team is:

Manager: Macca
Assistant Manager: Alan Buckley

GK: Steve Mildenhall, James McKeown, Aidan Davison

DF: Rob Jones, Gary Croft, Matt Bloomer, Justin Whittle, Mark Lever, Tom Newey, Richard Smith, Tony Gallimore, Paul Agnew, Andy Tillson, Danny Butterfield, Georges Santos, Carl Magnay, Ben Futcher, Josh Gowling

MF: Craig Disley, Paul Groves, Gary Cohen, Paul Bolland, Wayne Burnett, Kingsley Black, Ciaran Toner, Andy Parkinson, Gary Childs, Kevin Donovan, Alan Pouton, Curtis Woodhouse, John Cockerill, Peter Till, Tommy Widdrington, Shaun Cunnington, Chris Hargreaves, Tommy Watson, Marcus Marshall, Nathan Arnold

FW: Liam Hearn, Micky Boulding, Gary Jones, Steve Livingstone, Phil Jevons, Clive Mendonca, Michael Reddy, Jack Lester, Isaiah Rankin, Danny North, Martin Gritton, Lee Nogan

That’s a fantastic line up. It should be a great day. Bet tickets will go quickly.


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.
