Slightly off-topic, but there's a chap in the Grimsby Telegraph called Dave Hughes aged 96 sharing his stories serving on board minesweepers from 1943 and remembering his pals who were killed in action.

Always seen him at the Grimsby Town home matches in recent years. I bet he's got a few stories to tell about Grimsby Town from back in the day.
