Guest User	December 8th 1965 FA 2nd round reply Town 2 - 0 Barnsley Tees 2 My dad radioed for tickets out in the Humber, went after he docked. He parked the bus stop opposite ABC Cleethorpes, got a ticket but as he didn't have a license he made my mum take the blame.

All I remember is that they had a tall striker with ginger hair who looked like one of my early year teachers at Welholme school, Mr. Wilkinson.

Parents owned a caravan on Beacholme  and I used to hang around with some local lads. One was going with his dad and who offered to take me and so it started. The doctor said I would grow out of it but I never did.

Guest User	First ever Town game.  I would have been 6 or 7 so 1968 or 69.  Back in those days I had little understanding, I thought Grimsby and the Mariners were two different teams.  I was a Grimsby fan according to my Dad, used to stand in the Osmond corner on top of an upside down lemonade crate.  Dad was from the Grafton Street area so probably Hewitts. Little who am I for you.  My father was a pretty good footballer, back in the Shankley days, was on the books but never played in the first team.  We share a surname with one of our greatest ever strikers.  If he was alive today He’d cry at the state of the club but probably disown me for turning my back. PM me with guesses
