My all time favourite, just love the guy.

Has signed for us, now that makes my hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

One of Towns greatest players.

Here is super Clive against Sunderland at Blundell Park scoring a fantastic individual goal. He must have loved playing against them!

Super super Clive a clinical finisher for us what we would give for a fit Clive nowadays !!!

Interesting to see the teams we were playing against then .-the Ups and Downs in their fortunes over such a seemingly short period of time. Who said" money is the root of all evil "

As your mate snoops would tell you it’s ‘the LOVE of money is the root of all evil’. In 1 Timothy ch 6 v 10, where he is talking about Shaun Harvey.

Best striker we've had in my lifetime. Frankly it's not even close can't, nobody gets near super clive.

Aye top drawer was Clive I have been fortunate enough to see Drinkell,Wilkinson,Hobson,Whymark and Birtles who all also oozed class and then just behind Rees,Woods,Lund,Lester,Bogle . That`s an impressive list and lots of others I never mentioned Kev Drinkell in my opinion was just better than Clive due to being better in the air but a cigarette paper between them .

I'd go with that too 1ML... maybe because we saw Drinks from being a young kid with potential turn into a scourge of defences up and down the land, not just with us but Norwich & Rangers

I often wonder too about Terry Donovan who came on the scene at about the same time.... we sold him on to Villa ( once again imho on the cheap ) and it didn't work out as well for him because of Villa's league & European Cup success ( and then later his injury) but he was considered back then by some to be the better of the two Town starlets

I just remember all the players in my first bracket had the fear factor for us vs opposition teams Drinkell in particular was a right handful at a young age in what`s now the Championship . Time fuddles the brain but I vaguely remember seeing Town v Leicester and Lineker got a big money move not long after and I honestly thought he was poor (at that time) . Mark Hately then with Pompey much more impressive as an opposition player and Drinkell was certainly on a par with them both at that time.

Didn't we have a chance to sign Lineker for £30,000 at one point?

Nice legs shite crisps

Thanks, but was I right about the Lineker opportunity?

What a player natural in front of goal. Was really gutted to see him go. Iwas there at Wembley to see that Hatrick still sobering up from that great result from the day before watching Town get promoted rows and rows of Red charlton shirts, and. Me in my sweaty Town Top lol ;D

The first game I went to was in 1995 I was about 7 a dour 0-0 Mendonca was injured, the next match I attended we beat Ipswich 3-0 Mendonca hat trick and from that match on i was football and Grimsby mad, Mendonca was a excellent finisher.
