Sad to say but that team would urine all over our current squad.

We're in some sort of time trap vortex. Perhaps Stephen Hawking could sort us out.

If we finish the season like that team did we're in (even more) trouble

It's frightening when you look at that team on paper, which I think was average at best, and the amount of goals in it (19 goals from those midfielders alone), compared to what we've got now!

God help us


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.

Quoted from Grimbiggs

Newey (42-1 goal)   Boshell (40-6 goals)   North (27- 9 goals)
Fenton (42-2)          Hunt (37)                     Taylor (26-5)
Bennett (40-1)         Bolland (35-4)             Butler (21-6)
Atkinson (24-1)       Till (34-2)                     Rankin (17)
Clarke (29-2)           Hegarty (30-4)
Whittle (18-1)          Toner (30-3)
Hird (17)                  Bore (17-2)



What I'd give to have some of those players now, Newey, Fenton, Sgt Whittle, Bennett and Atkinson, Bolland, North.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I'd even take Hegarty over either Woolford or Kelly.
