Futch was probably pre fishy. Looking at the centre mids it shows where our problems have been over the last 20 years <'(((((< When I was a little boy I asked my daddy what would i be would I be United, would i be Leeds Here's what he said to me Oh Grimsby Grimsby Whatever will be will be You'll follow then faithfully Oh Grimsby Grimsby Tell me Mam me Mam I dont want no tea no tea I'm watching the Grimsby Tell me Mam me mam

Of course he bloody was!!  Ignore me! Tough 'un then.  Todd an outstanding player and the catalyst for us staying up that year.  Handyside a class act over several seasons.  If I had to pick just one I would probably go for Todd, Handyside definitely on the subs bench though.,

Will No.5 and No.6 also be CBs? Could leave our Fishy era team with 5 at the back...

Never saw Andy Todd staggering around outside of JD's on a Thursday night, so his heart obviously wasn't in it in the same way.

Said nobody in the history of the world ever. Got to be Handyside for me too. Although shout out to Ryan Bennett who was a diamond in a steaming pile of shite. Doing it by squad numbers is a weird way of doing it, is that so that the likes of Zhang Enhua can be shoehorned in at number 30? Good thread idea though.

Todd was a class act and a beast. Pete H was almost as good and he learnt how to play with Futch so he was less of a tough nut. He gets it based on being our player. Personally rated him more than Bennett too although the latter has had a very decent career. Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

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
