Quoted from Cloudy
Donovan
Pouton had an all action style but a poor 1st touch which often resulted in a 50/50 tackle ( which tbf, he usually won)


Quite right and I loved him for it but it did lead to 20 yellows and two red cards during his Town career (according to Wikipedia)!

Donovan was the best number 7 out of those. Pouton was a legend. Or leg end  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Coyne got picked because he got the most votes. It’s how this type of thing works. 😉


Was Davison involved in the vote?

What's wrong with that? If the players in that squad were the best in their positions then we should say so shouldn't we?

If are we going to select inferior players in certain positions just because the leading contender has several team mates in the team already, then what really is the point?

We should just pick the best player in each position and see how it goes.

For me an on form Donovan is an obvious pick. At his best he was a real match winner for us.


I never said anything was wrong with it, I feel like people will pick based on nostalgia though even if some players were better at a lower level and not as good at higher ones. Richard Smith was picked despite being a crock during the Fishy era that barely played because of injuries. Granted the competition wasn't amazing  or anything lol but still. Wayne Burnett was picked on virtue of one goal even though he did nothing after it except sit on the treatment table.

I can tell you no. 8 right now. David Smith.

Donno was unplayable that season. 20+ goals from the wing is something very few Grimsby players manage.

I'd wager it'll end up being a more recent no.8 than Smith. Perhaps a ginger haired chap.
