And Michael Reddy was never a clever footballer just had a bit of pace. Easy to stop,just stand infront of him, if you were quick enough.

Quoted from theicenian


I somehow knew you would come up with that.   I think Stacey was never the same after his busted leg (understandable) and tended to do what players do in the circumstances,run at the side of play.



I just think that generally the holding midfield role is unglamourous and not often appreciated. The 'water carrier' if you like. This is not just at Town but football in general. Liverpool coming back from 3-0 down in the Champions League final was as much down to Hamman as anything.

Not all teams play a holding player but personally i would always play that way and think it is vital if you have a couple of attacking wide players. Gives you an insurance and licence to attack down the flanks

Under-rated I would go for Chris.

People slated Hunt enough when he played for us, then pined for him when he left after our near miss season. I remember Coldicott getting plenty of stick for 'never going forward' or 'he only passes it 5 yards'. I would love to see somebody in our team who could break up play and pass it consistently over 5-10 yards.


There is still time to join the (now) retro James Hunt fan club. Meetings before every home game in the bus shelter outside the Imp. One of the most underrated players for Town in the last 10 years.

100 games is too many. Bring it down to 85 and include Andy Parkinson the archetypal headless chicken.

Danny Boshell. 99 games.

Unlucky.  


Wiki only counts league games. The OP didn't specify league games only. Therefore my point still stands. So ner :p

Bobby Mitchell.

The Danny Boshell of a previous era.



Can't believe that. He wasn't my favourite player by any means but Bob Mitchell knew where and how to pass the ball and his technique was way beyond Boshell's. OK his tackling wasn't brilliant but he wasn't there to do that.

If you went back to some old timers they'd say Mike Cullen was rubbish for the same reasons. Some might even say it about Johnny Scott. There's some kind of mistrust of playmakers at Grimsby. If a midfielder doesn't tackle like Bobby C and score goals like Joe Waters then they are considered crap. It's a team game and managers fit players' different strengths together to cover individual weaknesses as well and make that team work.

He's what I call a TV player.  Only shows up when the match is on the box.


I remember being pelted with ice by the Norwich fans during the Milk Cup match, do you?
