Sheff Wed in second (David Hirst 90-91), so we really are top of this particular one!

Quoted from promotion plaice

Wasn't there something on here about 20 goals, LJL, johnnyboy and a sausage?


Not in the League.

I know he couldn't hit a cow's bottom with a banjo when in front of goal at times, but we could have done with an LJL-alike this season to play alongside Rose. At his best, he could put the fear of God into defenders with his pace, strength and workrate.

Jack Lewis was one of mine and the crowds favourite.

Super quick from a standing start.

I think he scored a hat trick against us after he left.
Extremely modest.

Quite a record. The goals were shared about in the 1979-80 season with nobody getting twenty in the league despite us winning it.

The only league season that I can remember us really banging in goals for fun was 1984-85.

I have friends who support Donny and over the years I've lived here they always note that we don't score enough.

I seem too remember that Clive scored his 19 goals in a season that we did not do very well.

When he was injured and could not play in many games in another season and hardly scored we finished a lot higher up the league.

Which does not make much sense as we were a lot better team when Clive was in it.

I think in one of the NL seasons he scored quite a few pens if i remember rightly.

Sounds right. I seem to remember he was good at penalties, but hopeless on one-on-ones against the keeper in open play.

Didn't his goal in the Play-off Final bounce in off him blocking the keeper's attempted clearance or similar? A long time ago now.

I suppose it’s telling that whenever we have someone who gets close they’re taken off us. I tend to hope that goals are spread more evenly across the squad so that our players are less noticeable. Another joy of being a Grimsby fan is acknowledging that you’ll get to enjoy your very best players for half a season.

Interesting article.

No Manchester United player scored 20 times in the league between George Best doing so in 1967-68 and Brian McClair following suit in 1987-88. Likewise no one has done this for United since RVP in 2012/13

Aston Villa failed to register a 20-goal scorer in the league between their title-winning campaign of 1980-81 (Peter Withe) and their Championship campaign of 2018-19 (Tammy Abraham).

Okay, so received a message from a mate this morning saying he’d just read an article in The Times (I know) which has Town down as the team with the longest wait to have a 20+ goal scorer in the top 4 leagues. According to the article it was Jack Lewis in the 74-75 season.

Is this right? I was born that season and I’m sure we’ve had a 20+ goal scorer in my lifetime. Super Clive?

If it’s right, just another depressing stat to add to Golly’s list from the other day!
Just having a check, pre 1985 it was indeed Jack Lewis with 21 league goals in the 1974-75 season.  Tony Ford scored 16 in the 78-79 season.  Kilmore 15 and Drinkell with 16 in the 79-80 season and 17 in the 82-83 season.
