That was Don Welbourne who I don't think was any relation. He played 200 odd games for Scunny. Duncan was born in Scunthorpe and played as an amateur in their juniors/reserves but signed as a pro for Town.

You are right about the ban though, it was when the FA was having a "clampdown" but that only applied if you were not a Div 1 player like Keegan or Bremner.


Duncan was Don's older brother and went to Watford in 1963.

You are right. Memory fail there!

Duncan Welbourne was a terrific player for us and I could never understand why we let him leave.

I remember the 7-1 loss to Watford which was in the autumn of 1967. I was going out with a lady from Watford and we made a point of watching the results on the teleprinter on the BBC in some TV shop window. It said

Watford 7 (seven) Grimsby 1

She took me to the nearest pub to get over the shock and disappointment.

Very sad to hear he has passed away.

Yes, both were around 30 by then. Ron had struggled with an injury and played a few games in midfield in his last season. Johnny went to York for a year but I always got the impression with Johnny that he was none to keen on the training.
