How do you do it?

One of the games that really sticks in my memory is when we beat Wolves 5-1 in 1984 when Tommy Docherty was their manager.

Tim Flowers was in goal for them and he was beaten by a cracking own goal from one of their players (Barnes I think his name was) who lobbed him from about 35 yards out with Fordy breathing down his neck. Fordy was superb that day and deserved the 5th and final goal.

The game was shown on The Big Match the following day and I remember John Helm interviewing Docherty after the match and him describing Town as "Very, very ordinary".

Always remember the great results and the crap ones as well.

It helps having the old highlight VHS videos and DVDs

Yes I remember that game like it was yesterday,I was in the Ponny and it was rocking,

We had Wilkinson and Lund starting up front,

Drinkell had an injury and missed a couple of games could only start on the bench,

He came on in the 2nd half and scored,

We had the best strikers in the league ( now championship ) that season.

I remember that Wolves game. Missed the first goal as I was late getting in the ground. And remember the sour grapes from Doherty.

The own goal was closer than I thought it was.

Usually under the covers with the light off.

I see the wife has red crossed me.

It's weird that 1 of the stand out memories with alot of town fans from the last 20 years is Chima's goal at Tranmere. I have never seen it since and only ever seen photos of him banging it in. Let's face it, on the night, we were $hite, Chima was $hite, and we got hammered in the mickey mouse cup so why oh why do we think back to these nights? I bought a signed diadora footy last week and the attraction was Chima's autograph!

And you got the match ball for your 40th. Well, that's the match I was told it was from

That own goal and final score has stayed with me for years. I very nearly didn't go as worked on the Scunt steelworks and was in the middle of a load of double shifts.
Those were the days when we actually said things like "Don't know if I'm off, it's only Wolves anyhow"

I think everyone remembers the bigger games, the cup matches etc but there's certain games remembered for certain reasons I guess. I remember a game at home v Peterborough when we drew 0-0 on a Tuesday night (circa April 1990). Probably the loudest I remember the pontoon singing when it was standing. Was also my first Tuesday night game so that might have had something to do with it

I'm only 26 and been following Mariners since the age of 6. But I can remember all the inns and outs and not just our team but majority of others too. i'd say tho it all started when I started taking football and Grimsby serious from 1998.

I would also like to add that Championship Manager and Football Manager have helped at times lol
