Ok I'm a tad bored of reading about Lincoln at the moment so... top 3 greatest Grimsby Town moments. Only rule you must of witnessed it live.

1. 15-16 Promotion an easy one for me as it probably is for a few.

2. Sir John McDerrmott scoring a magnificent curling effort into the  top corner.

3. A little more difficult its either Kalala scoring that volley against Tottenham or Whittle giving Shearer a fat lip and scar the following maych in the cup.... Whittles magnificent elbow it is I think  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

1) Wembley promotion 16
2) Anfield 2001
3) Fulham play off semi-final at BP in 98  

1. Town v Exeter 1972

2. Liverpool v Town 2001-Jevons winner.

3. 2016 promotion.

wilkinsons winner at everton
town winning promotion against northampton at wembley
norths 2 goals to knock middlesborough out of f.a. cup

1. TOWN   4 MAN CITY  1

2. TOWN 5  WOLVES  1

3, TOWN 4   SHEFF UTD 0 to clinch promotion

Sorry can not remember the years but it shows us we could play against some really good teams and beat them.

1. Wembley 16 (specifically Nathan's goal)

2. The win at Braintree the previous week, purley because it was so unexpected.

3. The 2-1 win at Scunny in the cup, what a night!

03.05.1980     Town 4-0 Sheff Utd........... to win the Third Division title

Towns first ever visit to Wembley 1998.........Auto Windscreens Shields Trophy Final         Bournemouth  1-2  Town

30 Oct 1979      Town  2-1  Everton     League Cup

1) Beating Bournemouth at Wembley in 1998
2) Beating Burnley at Turf Moor to get to the above game
3) Anfield in 2001

Quoted from grimsby pete

1. TOWN   4 MAN CITY  1 1984-85?

2. TOWN 5  WOLVES  1 1984(-85 season)

3, TOWN 4   SHEFF UTD 0 to clinch promotion 1980 (end of 79-80)

Sorry can not remember the years but it shows us we could play against some really good teams and beat them.

Greatest moments for me (games I've been at) have to be:

1) AWS win at Wembley v Bournemouth

2) Play-off win against Northampton

3) Play off win v FGR

Quoted from totalidiot

wilkinsons winner at everton
town winning promotion against northampton at wembley
norths 2 goals to knock middlesborough out of f.a. cup

Went to all three of those and fantastic days, the boro fans were certainly not happy that day, likewise at everton we stopped at a pub on the outskirts of Liverpool and that's a memory, got home at 3am and had the following day off work!

3) First Wembley victory vs Bournemouth. Being 8 years old at the time I thought Wembley wins would happen on a regular basis. How wrong could I be with our record?

2) Beating Tottenham. I'd been saying we'd win it 1-0 all day at school but being 15 at the time I couldn't put the bet on. The majority of that season was pretty good too. Hope Slade makes amends this time.

1) Wembley win vs FGR. I've seen us play dozens of bigger clubs but that win meant more than any of them. Never heard a noise like it when Bogle's second went in and it's the first time I've ever cried at a match when I'd said all along it's for fannies.

Everton 0 Grimsby 1 1984 when Everton were the team of the moment, FA Cup holders, and on the way to winning the title and The Cup Winners Cup

Newcastle 0 Town 1 1992 Keep in in the corner Jim

Liverpool 1 Town 2. 2001 Jevvo lasr minute extra-time screamer

1. FGR 2016 (Wembley, obviously, not the 1-0 away win)
2. Spurs 2005
3. Leicester 1997

That moment Wilko scored at Everton
2 Wembly promotion wins

Liverpool 1-2 Town (Jevons in the 119th minute)

Town 3-0 West Ham (FA Cup under Laws)

Town 1-0 WBA (Bonetti vs Buckley's WBA)

1. 2016 Wembley win. For me I chose this because it's just the feeling I had when we went 2-0 up and then when Arnold scored THAT goal.

2. JEVONS v Liverpool. What a goal and what a night.

3. Can't remember the opponents, but the day of rich broadly funeral. All his friends and family together in the pontoon, Grimsby fans, Lincoln fans, Premier fans etc all stood together in his memory singing songs about him all game. The club where fantastic that day, Grimsby also won which was an added bonus.

Wembley 98 against Bournemouth taking the spirit of my dad and brother in law who both gave me my love of the club to a ground they could only dream of going

Anfield oh what a night singing  you will never walk alone to the scouse as they left the ground

The 72 season my first experience of the promotion feeeling and being part of massive crowds 23000 inside the park who would believe that now

Home win against Exeter 1972. That was a night to remember for sure. Division 4 champions under Lawrie Mac.

Auto windscreens final against Bournemouth
.  
February 1989 FA cup 4th round  replay at Reading won 2-1 with late Kevin Jobling winner which took us to Plough lane for the game against Wimbledon

1. Jevons Goal at Anfield
2. Arnolds goal at Wembley
3. Grimsby 6 - 5 Burnley at the BP

1.  Burnett's golden goal
2.  Jevons' Anfield goal
3.  Futcher's historically epically fanstically lengendary goal

> Game Nov 1970 v Cambridge which saw Sir Matt return and add 5000 on our normal gate of just over 2,000 at that time

> Final game v Exeter in 71/72 and great goal from Chatterley & being crushed in the Ponny

> Coventry away in FA Cup 1973 when every bus, car & train seemed to be heading there with trip from Rasen taking 5 hours!!, what a following that was.

72 Exeter game to win promotion
Home win against Fulham to clinch something or other. Memory has gone. Keegan involved
More entry the cup win at Scunny.

One of my all time favourite games that. We were dead on our feet when they equalised with less than 10 minutes to go and there was only going to be one winner if the game went to extra time, then Jobling latched onto that dodgy backpass and rounded the keeper and the Town fans were celebrating before the ball was in the net. Incredible atmosphere that night. I couldn't believe the amount of fans we had there and the array of different inflatables was a sight to behold just before Harry took over the monopoly.

One game that stands out for me was when the whole ground sang there's only one Paul Gascoine.

Quoted from grimsby pete

1. TOWN   4 MAN CITY  1

2. TOWN 5  WOLVES  1

3, TOWN 4   SHEFF UTD 0 to clinch promotion

Sorry can not remember the years but it shows us we could play against some really good teams and beat them.

I seem to recall that all of the above games were on TV. My brother had copies on Betamax, but they sadly disappeared along with Betamax technology. I'd love to see those games again. has anyone still got copies? Be great to digitise them and get them on You Tube.  

So many great memories, cup wins, promotions, great goals. But if I had to pick the very best I'd go with.....

v Exeter 1972 winning Div 4.
v Sheff United 1980 winning Div 3
Burnett's Golden goal, Wembley 1998
Arnolds goal at Wembley 2016.

The last two are definitely the two greatest single moments, the first two the greatest games.

1. Burnley away to get to AWS final
2. Anfield
3. FGR at Wembley

Special mention for Muzzy Izzet's goal at BP though

1984 Everton away 1-0 wilko winner
1980 Liverpool away lost 5-0 did Kilmore miss a sitter, never seen away following like it, for a FA cup tie
1989 Middlesborough away FA cup win 2-1 Marc North goals
1983 Chelsea away came from 2 nil down to win 2-3 Chelsea flying high in the league, I think Ford scored the winner

That 5:1 v Wolves is on You Tube.

Of course other games spring to mind,        HT  Town  6-0  Darlington               FT  Town  7-2  Darlington

1. Pure emotion Wembley 2016
2. Anfield, how we won after being hammered all game
3. The back to back 5-2 and 6-2 wins against Palace and Wimbledon, the team suddenly turned on the style at the right time to keep us in the Championship

1 - Town walking out at the old Wembley for the first time in 98, just a few tears.

2 - Last game of the season 79/80 Drinkall hat trick blunting the blades and winning the old 3rd Division

3 - Jevo's goal at Liverpool

Have to say 3 and a bit was being on the pitch with the players after the Braintree A PO semi.

UTM!

Not really how I remember that game. I thought we gave a decent account of ourselves that night. If you want to know a game we won when we were absolutely battered for 89 minutes then Everton away in '84 will take some beating.

Totally agree Les. Definitely with Town, and even any other clubs, I have never seen such a mugging. But was nice to be the muggers for once.
