Wow, The Imps are truly in their golden period right now.


Well no, that was the mid 1950’s but there’s not many left who can remember those times, such as winning 4-2 at Anfield. Bill Shankly was still Town manager back then I do believe?

Shankly managed Town in the early 1950's - before my time.
I do however remember Andy Graver who scored a shed load of goals for you in the late 50's/early 60's.

That would be when Liverpool were in the second of 3 divisions then?

Believe you won there 3-1 in 1960 and Bert Linnecor was last player to score a hat trick there until Arshavin for Arsenal. Bert was a smashing guy played against him loads of times and mates with his 3 sons who were all good players themselves.

I would add that we have two guys in charge who have the club in their blood and hearts. Imagine if we had an owner like the guy who took control of Reading. They are in dire financial trouble with HMRC chasing them and bills not being paid. John Madejski built them club up as a local who knew the town and the fans. All his good work destroyed by Dai Yongge. The fans are fighting hard for their club’s survival, but asks huge questions about who should be allowed to buy clubs. The vetting does not seem to be fit fo purpose.

My Dad used to take me to watch Lincoln  in the early 50's, and Andy Graver was playing for them, what a fantastic striker, he had 3 stints at Sincil Bank and in his first term there he scored over 100 goals in 4 seasons, I believe he still is the Imps highest ever goal scorer, he also played at some point in his career for Boston United and Skegness Town.Another Imps player I remember was a winger called Smillie, don't remember his full name but he was lightening fast.

I’ve seen some good, some bad and the majority mediocre over my 50 years of watching The Imps.

Step forward Jack Moylan…. I honestly can’t remember a better 45 mins by an Imps player, ever? He scored 2 belters and deserved a 3rd (when the rebound fell to Makama) in a scintillating display against a good promotion chasing Barnsley side.

The Tykes were on a decent run of 1 defeat in 19 games, so to destroy them 5-1 at Oakwell left me speechless.

2 home games coming up v Cambridge & Bristol Rovers, win those and the playoffs really are on, with confidence sky high as Skubala’s style really is beginning to take shape.

I see you’re a Lincoln fan this weekend as City managed to sneak a draw despite getting battered.

These imp fans must have such a busy life that they spend Mondays writing on every football clubs website about how good they are, bet the Man City and Liverpool supporters really look forward to the weekly update, just wish they would sodomist off our site, but if it makes them happy who are we to complain. Funny when they lose on a Saturday they seem to forget to tell how great they are but were unlucky to lose.
