I am sure many of the older posters will have known Graeme who sadly passed away last week aged 51, he was the chairman of the old supporters club for many years , played for the supporters club football team and was a well known local Plumber and Campaign for Real Ale activist.....RIP Graeme, condolences to your family.

This season just gets worse.

R.I.P Graeme

My thoughts are with his wife and family


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Blimey, really shocked by this. First Big Keef and now Wally. I knew him very well going back to the years of the old GTFC Supporters Sunday Footy team and when the Mariners Supporters club was down Kent St, where The Yardbirds club is now. I was also in the GTFC Supporters pool team with him too. The last time I saw him was at Bournemouth last season when I found him wandering around the streets looking for a real ale pub and we went for a pre-match drink together before the game.

RIP mate, another one gone far, far too young.

RIP Wally mate. A more genuine bloke you couldn't find. Sadly missed.


"That Grimsby team was pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football."    Bill Shankly

Absolutely tragic news.

Graeme also ran the Blues Of the Month Club for many years.

He was a warm, friendly genuine person.

He will be sadly missed.

Thoughts to his family.

Sorry Jungle missed your comment about the blues of the month....

When the Blues of the Month Club restarted at the Queens, I remember the spontaneous round of applause Graeme (Wally) received, it really suprised him.

As a manager, you have to find solutions to get the best out of your players. In short, find a way to win. If a manager is not doing that,he is not doing his job

Knew/know Graeme and his wife (Nicola),i`m afraid he was diagnosed with cancer and it took hold rather quickly. He loved town through and through and would go every where to seem`em.
The real tragedy is that he was looking forward to his first grandchild which is due to be born within. the next 2 weeks.

Last saw him to speak to at the Cheltenham game....Unbelievable that in a matter of a few weeks he should be gone. R.I.P. mate

It would be nice to see a decent turn out of Mariners fans who knew Wally at his funeral tomorrow. (Friday 1pm).

I'm totally shocked at this news.Had no idea.I knew Graham well and was a regular attender at the Blues of the month club.

Graham was at my 50th last year and was on good form.I even had some bottles of real ale put behind the bar for him and his mate Dave,because the venue didn't serve it.

Last saw him at the Bradford night match as he sat near me in the Pontoon.Not seen him at the match recently but had no idea about his illness.

I'm stunned,he was a really nice guy.

RIP Graham.

Just got back from The Crem. A superb turnout with standing room only and a great tribute to a true Mariner.

RIP mate, you will be missed.

I think you were amongst many....Still finding it difficult to believe.

As Les said above it was a very good turnout on the Friday at the funeral service, I hope it brought some small comfort to the family.
