Quoted from Les Brechin


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.


Waters was fantastic. Not only for the incredible skill he displayed, but also for his never say die attitute and his total committment.

I remember one game in particular. It was easter and we were five points adfift at the bottom of the league. We were playimng Wrexham and went two goals down. It looked curtains for us. But Waters had other ideas and played his socks off, scoring a great individual goal and leading a fight back. We won 3-2 and stayed up that year.

My favourite Town player of all time.

Good old Batchy, typical brilliant save he used to make and kicking the ball out his hands with his left foot, and the dead ball kicks with his right, legend.

IIRC that was the first Match Of The Day for about 2 seasons as there was a big dispute about TV money and all football highlights had stopped until that day.

It was definitely the first game to be featured again Les after somekind of TV dispute

I thought it was actually ITV who had the game but could be wrong

Great to watch stuff like this, a nice reminder of how football used to be. Nice finishes from Ford and Brolly. Tony Ford seems to be playing up front... I always thought he was a full back come winger? A few tasty challenges flying in, it would have finished 5 a-side in todays game. Some pretty ropey defending from Pompey, I love the attempted backheel to the goalkeeper for our 1st goal, then he has the cheek to turn round and blame the keeper! Also what is their keeper doing for our last goal?


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"
