I'd be happy to contribute but can I confirm is it my 'favourite' XI (which I interpret as being my favourite players from my time watching Town) or my 'greatest' XI (which I interpret as being an all-time XI, including Glover, etc.)?

The OP mentions both and I'd just like to clarify which it should be.


We'll go for best you've seen matey, as Les mentioned, 'the greatest 11' would probably compromise mostly of players none of us have ever seen play.

Cheers

Cant believe some players chosen were on loan strange decision I know beasant didnt concede and was immense he only played 10 games same as Andy Todd.  Maybe we could have the best of loan players.

Beasant
Townsend
Todd
?
Logan
Bonetti
?
?
?
Birtles
D Nielsan


Birtles was never on loan was he? I thought we signed him after he was released by Notts County.

I am picking the team of all the players I have seen and realised how biased it is towards the 97/98 season but hey thats my pick.

                        Coyne
Mcdermott    Lever    Croft    Gallimore
Donavon     Groves   Burnett  Bonetti
               Mendonca      Reddy

If we include managers I guess it is failry obvious from my picks: Alan Buckley

This is sooooooooooo hard.

I'm ruling out loan players and i personally feel they should not be included in anyone's side, despite Beasant and Todd being 2 of the best players i've seen in a Town shirt. After much thought my team would be :-

Batch
Mcdermott
Futcher
K.Moore
Croft
Ford
Waters
Groves
Cumming
Whymark
Drinkell

Could pick another side from Coyne, Wainman, Stone, Nicholl, Handyside, Wigginton, Lever, Agnew, Crombie, Brace, Cunnington, Cockerill Gilbert, Donavon, Pouton, Mendonca, Tees, Wilkinson, Lund etc etc..........................................

Keep thinking of more players, but will leave it there

Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

1934-35 squad, a long time before any of us were born was Grimsby's Greatest.

Tweedy, Kelly, Jacobson, Hall, Betmead, Buck, Lewis, Bestall, Glover, Craven, Jennings, Vincent, Wright J, Hodgson, Dyson, Moralee, Burley Ben, Homles, Annabels

Special mention to the team that beat Japan 7-2 10 Aug 1971.

I'm not going to list a make up squad, the 34-35 squad would be my selection and trying to fit players from different generations would be to much of mismash due to playing styles for me.  Sid Wheelhouse, John Cockerill, John Mcdermott are players who are my legends.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.
