Another is doing the conga in the pouring rain on a Tuesday evening at Plymouth with the other 100 or so Town fans when we beat them 2-1. It was a big relegation 6 pointer and Super Clive scored his first ever goal for us. At the end of the season we stayed up and they were relegated.
past future town keeping legend Rhys Wilmott !! Was there that night too.
Everton 2-1 for me.

Standing on Wembley Way with me Dad and Bro on Dad's 1st ever trip to London, with his packing-up in a Petit's bag for Town's 1st ever visit. Amazing. Everton and Liverpool victories run it very close though.
Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!
Exeter game 1972 when we won 3-0 to clinch the league title.Fantastic atmosphere. Rattles (showing my age) and home made banners everywhere. I remember after the game walking down the Grimsby Road with thousands singing.
Yeah,that was great.Don't think i've ever seen so many people on Grimsby Road and most of them were singing their heads off.
The comeback against Barnsley.Losing 2-0 and won 3-2.The Pontoon went crazy.
When we hammered Sheff Utd 4-0.
That wonderful goal Cockerill scored after a sweeping move from one end of the pitch to the other.
The night we beat Everton at Blundell park.Was packed to the rafters and i got crushed againt the fence in the Harrington St corner,which was the only place i could get in,the ground was that full.
Seeing Bobby Cumming wink at us in the Barratt after getting Norman Hunter sent off.
Playing Coventry off the pitch in the League cup only to give away a home goal and go out on away goals.
All the usual ones like Wembley,Everton,Liverpool etc.
Got some great memories of other teams as well.Fulham and West Ham being two that came here and played us off the pitch in the past.
Sure there are plenty of others that will come to me but i'm all depressed now,thinking how good things have been in the past.
The Wembley games were happy, happy days. The Liverpool match stands out for the pure euphoria of the nature and timing of Jevons' goal, but for me the Tottenham game is still the most emotional moment I can recall watching town.
I was having a bit of a shít time of it generally back then, and had a particularly shít day leading up to the match. That goal, that unexpected goal just seemed to make everything else melt away and just reinforced, there and then, why I bother following Town through all of the bad times. I remember bumping into my dad on the half-way line following the pitch invasion - a mutual hug, a sort of "I owe this to you" kind of moment. Raw, joyous, emotions.
All of them feelings that no plastic Premier League fans will ever experience. The lows are so low, but watching your hometown club who you've supported since you could walk achieve something amazing fills you so much pride.
Seen the games Exeter first time to Spurs. The thing that really got to me was Buckley and Groves coming out of that tunnel for the first Wembley visit. A Town fan had never seen a Grimsby side walk out at Wembley ever before,that was emotional. Even got into trouble from my sons as tears ran down. Nothing like it,and to win twice in the space of a few weeks was just a very very good feeling.
At home v Scunny circa 1990 Tuesday night game. 11 000+. They scored first and we scored twice in last 20 or so mins. I was in the ponny and still a schoolboy but the comaradary (sp) I felt that night as the goals went in lives with me to this day. Absolutely fanatastic night going completely mental with everyone else when we scored, jumping all over random people and being transported several rows in the process. Remember being totally out of breath, but having a massive smile on my face after each goal was scored such was the celebrations. Brilliant night that I'll never forget. Don't think I'll ever feel that way again about Town. Wembleys were good but this was the one stand out moment for me.
I'll always remember that night. Scunny were singing 'You're not singing anymore'. Then we scored 2 and the whole ground, including the Main was pointing and singing 'You're not singing anymore' to them....makes the hairs on the back of the neck stick up.
For me Wimbledon with Harry Haddock was a great fun day but winning against quite a strong Liverpool team at Anfield has to be the one.
I was at that game - Its bizarre how much football has changed since then, for the worse. You don't get goal celebrations (at either end) like that any more. Floppa somehow getting above Mark lever defies the laws of physics, as does two Iron players fighting over and missing a header 4 yards out before GY scuppered us.
