Best striker we've had in my lifetime. Frankly it's not even close can't, nobody gets near super clive.


Aye top drawer was Clive I have been fortunate enough to see Drinkell,Wilkinson,Hobson,Whymark and Birtles who all also oozed class and then just behind Rees,Woods,Lund,Lester,Bogle . That`s an impressive list and lots of others I never mentioned Kev Drinkell in my opinion was just better than Clive due to being better in the air but a cigarette  paper between them .

I'd go with that too 1ML... maybe because we saw Drinks from being a young kid with potential turn into a scourge of defences up and down the land, not just with us but Norwich & Rangers

I often wonder too about Terry Donovan who came on the scene at about the same time.... we sold him on to Villa ( once again imho on the cheap ) and it didn't work out as well for him because of Villa's league & European Cup success ( and then later his injury) but he was considered back then by some to be the better of the two Town starlets

I just remember all the players in my first bracket had the fear factor for us vs opposition teams Drinkell in particular was a right handful at a young age in what`s now the Championship . Time fuddles the brain but I vaguely remember seeing Town v Leicester and Lineker got a big money move not long after and I honestly thought he was poor (at that time) . Mark Hately then with Pompey much more impressive as an opposition player and Drinkell was certainly on a par with them both at that time.

Didn't we have a chance to sign Lineker for £30,000 at one point?


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.

Thanks, but was I right about the Lineker opportunity?

What a player  natural in front of goal. Was really gutted to see him go. Iwas there  at Wembley to see that Hatrick  still sobering up from that great result from the day before  watching  Town get promoted  rows and rows of Red charlton shirts, and. Me in my sweaty Town Top lol

The first game I went to was in 1995 I was about 7 a dour 0-0 Mendonca was injured, the next match I attended we beat Ipswich 3-0 Mendonca hat trick and from that match on i was football and Grimsby mad, Mendonca was a excellent finisher.

Well over 100 goals at Championship level, makes you wonder if we'll ever see the like again.

Can't imagine what he'd be worth in the modern game.
