As if the Woking highlights weren't enough to get us in the mood for Saturday, what a superb feature to put on MP !!!

Bit before my time but can still remember that great diminuitive team with Cumming, Brolly, Waters, black magic et al.
What a keeper Batchy was too (good save !)
It doesn't get much better than this...
Barry Davies to boot, if this isn't worth pennies per day, I don't know what is.

Plus an "Ask Noj" feature for fans to send their questions in to Andi too.

Top job OS !

Awesome, love seeing these old games.

They need to put the Grimsby Town 3 - 4 Arsenal, FA Cup game from 1986, would love to see that.

I was sat/stood (cant remember) in the front row of the osmand stand. 2-1 up at half time and thought we were gonna beat the gunners. Then Charlie Nicholas ruined it all. One of the best games of football I have ever seen. We were bloody awesome back then it makes me sad to think how far we have fallen.

Joe Waters was possibly THE best player ever to wear a Grimsby Town shirt. Joe, Batchy and Bobby Cumming are my 3 favourite players ever. I remember this game well, back then it was very, very rare for a game from the 4th Division to be shown on TV at all.

I didn't go I was 10, all I remember is standing outside near where that pub used to be near the old Boots, at the Dixons shop in the old Town open shopping centre for over an hour, hoping it would come on the TV in the front display ha ha!

You're correct it was the start of our decline from becoming an established 2nd flight team to 4th Division fodder until Lord Buckley was sent to reinstall some pride. Having said that it was a cracking game, possibly the only game I have enjoyed which Town have lost and Charlie Nicholas scored 2 amazing free kicks that day as well as a 3rd goal to complete his hat-trick.

Yes we had some good teams in those times,

I enjoyed watching all the home games and a few away ones as well,

Hopefully we will get back to that level soon!!!!!!!!!
