September 1991 League Cup v Villa - Paul McGrath. Anyone who was there will know what I mean - we would have walked that tie if it wasn’t for a knackered Irishman with bad knees and a great footballing brain. We were a really good side playing good football but everything, literally everything we created McGrath would pop up, spoil it and play it simple out of defence.

The Icelandic lad for Bolton just before he went to Chelsea, Eidur Gugjohnson, ran the game and even earlier Mick McCarthy for Barnsley, proper centre half, think he went to Man City next.

Good call on McGrath - he was like a magnet - the ball just seemed to always end up at his feet or on his head.

I remember David James when he was at Watford (I think they beat us 0-1) but he was just immense for such a young goalkeeper.

That Bergkamp chap wasn't too shabby for Arsenal in 2001.  I bet he couldn't believe he had to stand on the same pitch as most of those players.

Micheal Owen scoring his first hat trick for Liverpool against us at Anfield a few years before we beat them. He was absolutely electric, only 17 or 18 at the time and it was obvious then what he’d go on to achieve.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

First game of the season away to Cheltenham we were 1-0 at half time thanks to Barry Clonlon goal  Barry Hayles came on a sub for them,he was at the end of his career then, absolutely slaughtered us and the Cheets won 2-1.

Quoted from grimsby pete
Clive Walker had trick for Chelsea when we drew 3_3 at home.

We bossed the game but he stood out and kept bloody scoring.


I was at that game, I was quite young, and can't remember much about it though. but I do remember walking with my dad to the car after the game, and someone asked us for the score. When told he replied "who to?" It wasn't even funny then to a 7 year old!

I think that West Ham game was the 2nd to last home game of the season. In all the previous home league games that season we had conceded a total of only 4 goals!
