The game was called off following a downpour. Several Town players hanging around waiting to go home. Went up to one of them and started to speak to him in French. He gave me a funny look before saying "I'm not John-Paul,(Kalala) mate.  Turned out it was Gary Cohen.  I felt a right prat!

He'd had a few and was the last Ist Class passenger in the immigration queue, we were behind him as the first of the mid-class dossers so we had a chat and he signed an autograph for Swin Jnr - lovely fella - so sad.

Really nice guy, whilst not being very popular with the Town supporters, but said he thoroughly enjoyed his time at Grimsby. Made 12 appearances for Town, and 249 for Peterborough.

For comic relief/children in need one year Steve Sherwood did a charity penalty shootout at Lindsey Lower school were you paid some money to take a couple of penalties against him. He saved all of mine. "Lovelly stuff! not my words but the words of Shakin Stevens."

He told me to ‘shut up’ 😕 The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
