The commentary also mentioned that Dave Gilbert scored 13 that season. Looking at the stats in the Grimsby Town Story, I see that he got 12 in the League, Tommy Watson scored 9 which was a surprise to me but Childs only scored 4 that year. Hargreaves got a few, mostly as a winger. With 7 goals from Cockerill and a couple from Cunnington, he fact that there were so goals from midfield just goes to show how fluid some of our play was back in those days.

Here's a question then.

What unique event happened that season?

It had never happened before and hasn't happened since.

I don't think Buckley ever had a player for us who got 20 league goals in a season.  Donovan came close with 19 in the league.  Super Clive's best haul for us (I think also 19) was under Kenny Swain.  He definitely didn't buy into the idea of having a one-man wrecking crew.

Gilbert got a fair few from penalties and free-kicks if I remember right.  Both taken with the same technique of just leathering it really hard.

Thinking about it, the first Town player I had witnessed score 20 or more in the league was Alan Connell!

Which means I've never seen a Town player score 20 or more in the Football League!

Was this the year that the records will show us having successive promotions to Div "1"? We'd gone up from 4 to 3 to 2, then the old div 2 turned into div 1 as the premier league started?

3 clubs (GY, Southend and Cambridge) got their second successive promotion together.

Another unique event was that 3 clubs went up from the 3rd Division automatically with one via the playoffs (Tranmere IIRC).

Biccys, it was after another year that the Pram and rebranding of Div 2 into the 1st Div happened. We had one season in the 2nd before it became the '1st'.


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.

4 teams promoted from the third tier?

Edit: ah yeah, reckon KM is right with the Southend and Cambridge theory.

Correct, 3 teams promoted the season before were all promoted again. The only team out of the 4 that came up from Division 4 the previous season that didn't get promoted again, was the previous seasons Champions Exeter City who finished mid-table.
