Strangely, I remember Kevin Hector scoring a lot of goals. You do as a kid. Also Stuart Scullion and Barry Endean.  Not sure why they stick in the mind as nothing to do with Town.

Keith Cockburn scored with a good shot for Grimsby in front of the Osmond Stand.  We were in the same stand so it must have been when you changed ends at HT.

Think Scullion and Endean’s fame emanates from them combining for Endean to score with a diving header and knock Liverpool out the FA Cup quarter finals think it was in 69 or 70. Ultimately that led to Shankly rebuilding his team with stalwarts like Lawrence, Yeats and St John replaced by Clemence, Larry Lloyd and Keegan.

Other three strikers I remember from my early town years were Bobby Ham (think he scored 4 one day in a 5-1 Bradford City victory, Jim Fryatt who was at Oldham and Dixie McNeil who played at a number of clubs which I think included Lincoln, Northampton and Wrexham.

I saw Town play at Bradford PA. It was the first ground I went to that had a double decker stand.

I remember Dougie Collins was sent off for punching one of their players.

After the game a Town director came out and shook all the Town fans hands to thank us for our support!

Some great names from the past in the lower divisions. My (female) cousin was Oldham daft and worshipped Jim Fryatt.
Seem to remember Dixie McNeil playing for Lincoln at B.P.

Fryatt was one of those players who played for load of clubs during his career. Never stayed anywhere long but always produced the goods in front of goal.

Fryatt was one of those players who played for load of clubs during his career. Never stayed anywhere long but always produced the goods in front of goal.

I remember his name more because he was credited with scoring the fastest ever goal on record ( 4 seconds from kick-off   - unless someone in recent years has done it quicker? )

LM Mariner yes I remember those 3 strikers that you highlighted.  

Bobby Ham might have played for Bradford City when they beat us at their place in the FAC about 1968 or 1969.  I think that they had a very tall striker playing for them,

I remember the game for other things.  There were 4 of us who travelled on public transport from Mablethorpe.  None of were old enough to drive.  5 Mins before the end of the game we took off our Town scarfs and tied them around our bodies under our jackets.  

We then legged it to the rail station before the City skinheads got there first and ambushed us.  We made it the relative sanctity of the station 2 mins before a gang got there.  Not quite the good old days.  When young, you ignored the dangers of supporting Town at away games.

Crikes...I remember being at a Barrow game around 71/72 before they were voted out. We won 2-0 if memory serves me right...or does it?

4th September 1971   0-0.

I was stood behind the goal.

We played Barrow on the Tuesday night after Matt Tees' return.  Indeed it was a 2-0 win which included an Alan Woodward thunderbolt IIRC

Didn't we sign Dave Worthington from Barrow?
