It always used to make me laugh at how Mike Czuczman's name was pronounced over the tannoy at away games. At Chelsea he was once referred to as 'Sezuckerman' but the best was probably (can't remember at which ground) 'Crutchman'.  

That and other clubs' attempts to spell Grimsby on their scoreboards, usually Grisby, Grimbsy or Grimby.


"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

I remember standing and applauding at Anfield when Michael Owen bagged his first senior hat-trick against (at the time of the match) the tightest defence in the league and John Oster's sublime chip in the 7-1 tanking at Hillsborough.

I also remember the God that is Mark Lever playing the mother hen role with Oster. On one occasion he ran half the length of the pitch to get involved after Oster had been clattered infront of the Pontoon. I can't remember who it was against though.

Mark Lever told me he had a "discussion" with Owen and Macmanaman on the way off the pitch, and was told that it definitely wasnt a pen but hey this is Anfield!
Another random memory, Lever doing pre-season training with our Sunday league team and looking the worst player there!

Lever = Legend. Not the most talented footballer but did his job very well. The pinacle was the Northampton Wembley game.

I can't find any reference to Churchy scoring against The Eagles.



as I said... wasnt sure... just remember the raised arms and revelling in the tumultuous din that erupted forth from the old
Barretts.... remember the sendings off... time sometimes does things to the memory... I think.... what time is it now ?

We will have to wait a long time for anything similar methinks....

but it was GOOD !!!

Tablet time... NURSE !!!

Oh that's right Keith Brown. Long dark haired left winger. I have a photo of that team in my living room because my Dad is on the photo. That book is brilliant, pity it hasn't been updated.


Paddy: The best book for updated facts and figures is "The Grimsby Town Story" by Dave Wherry, the Louth Town fan. The team photo from that season is in the book.

Cheers Barra I'll get a copy. I was looking for the Complete History one today because of the anecdotes on the game versus Palace. Couldn't find it anywhere. Thinks the misses has thrown it away (female dog, she supports Norwich).

Quoted from jock dock tower
Keith was always a talented footballer. He was in the year below me at the Technical School in Eleanor Street, and had school teams not been drawn specifically on age lines, he'd have been more than capable of playing in the age group at least two years above him. Remember playing in a  friendly one Saturday morning at the St. James school about 1969 (no age worries in friendlies) and he announced that his mum had promised him 2 bob if he scored a hat trick. He only got two, but announced at school on the Monday that he'd got 1 shilling and 4 pence (2.3 of  2 bob, worth about 7 pence in today's money)
The Grimsby Town Complete Record is often available on ebay and Amazon, and can often be picked up for about the £25 mark.


Keith was a good Nunsthorpe lad, just like Tony Ford.

The temptation is too great and no offence meant Ron but



Those that get on the pitch from the Nunny these days aren't as good.
