Quoted from Sweden

Best I've read in a long time. Recognizes me very much as growing up in a society built with the steel as a foundation. I have worked as a steelworker since 1978  to last yaer. We had people from Finland, Hungary etc. who worked there with us Swedes. Nowadays, the jobs have disappeared and these communities have had a negative development. Fan of Grimsby since 15 jan 1977 Crystal Palace - Grimsby Town 2-1 brodcasting on TV here in Sweden.


If you remember seeing 2 kids aged about 12 waving like mad at the camera from a Crystal Palace corner, I was the one in the brown jacket.

Genuinely intriguing that. A few years before I was born so I’ve no idea of the context of the match, but what was it about a 2-1 defeat that drew you to a club and town you presumably had no prior affinity with? I get why the Man United’s and Liverpool’s of this world develop massive fan bases in far flung parts of the world, but I find it interesting how less successful and fashionable clubs such as ourselves pick up the odd international fan.

Good on you, by the way!


Most of the matches in England were canceled due to the weather. So this match was shown in Swedish TV. Normally, matches from the English first divisons were shown. I thought Crystal Palace was the better team but Grimsby fought and struggled the hole game and a love that. All my mates supported Liverpool, Tottenham etc. I played football myself in the lower series here in Sweden. Played for a while in a football team called Grim. There is now a brewery on that football field.https://olkollen.se/oppigards-grim-lager-nu-pa-samtliga-bishops-arms/?newsletter

It’s good to be different. Here’s hoping you have some glory to support of your own in the not too distant future!

Message in a Bottle ought to try to get hold of some of that Grim Lager. Could be a big seller in NEL.


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.
