Technically one of the best players we've had over the last decade but no heart. Cheers! Yes, I was excited when he signed, and was full of optimism.  Felt like a right mug afterwards.

Ex Chelsea and Bristol City left winger/left back, and had a few great years at Barnsley where he played in the Premiership, had scored a fair few beauties in his time as well. Looked like a great signing especially when he scored that goal against Derby from about 40 yards on his debut. Joined town in the Championship, left 2 years later with the club relegated to the 4th tier. Says it all really. "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!!!"

Past times Jimmy Gilligan- Watford must have laughed there heads off when Town gave em the 100k   In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD

He is far the worst goalkeeper ever to turn Pro though. In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
