Quoted from Mighty_Mariner
From the Town teams I grew up watching, I'd say either Groves, Super Clive or Kev Donovan. To close to call for me.... Can I be greedy and have them all?


I wish I could grant you that wish we would still then make the Play Offs.

Bobby C
Would get this lot in line and lead by example.


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.

Surprisingly only one other mention but I'd go for John Cockerill as well - he'd put some old fashioned backbone into the side, he's Grimsby through and through and he always looked like he'd rather die than roll over. Will we ever see the like again?

Alas, I think the days of the scything sliding tackles are over. The likes of Cockerill and Cunnington would be sent off twice a game in the modern era, though neither was anything like a dirty player and both invariably won the ball when they tackled.

Agreed.

But that second goal against Exeter would never have stood today and probably shouldn't have back then

Bobby C, Cunnington, Cockers I would bring any of them back in a heartbeat, all heroes of mine and great whole hearted players, don't think they'd last 5 minutes on the pitch now the games gone all soft, but have great memories watching these ☺️

Mendonca because we need a scorer. Groves because he would bring confidence to those around him. Plug because he always seemed to embody the spirit of the club and he was (fairly) local.
