In my time watching the Scott Neilsen sending off in the play off Semi-Final and the Puddy handball are the two big ones. We deserved to get relegated in 2010 as we were dreadful. The biggest injustice we probably had as a club was the 1939 FA Cup Semi Final. We battered Wolves for the first 20 minutes and then their striker committed GBH on our goalkeeper who spent 10 days in hospital afterwards. We had 10 men versus their 11 and no proper goalkeeper. Unsuprisingly we lost 5-0. Had that not have happened we could have probably beaten Wolves and we would have been favorites in the final against a Porstmouth side who finished below us in the league that season.

Chicken gate Brian Laws and Ivan Bonetti, rob us of one of the best players in my lifetime to wear the town shirt.

Another one what sticks out for me is when Steve Livingstone was knocked unconscious in that 2.1 defeat  at home to Derby county, he ended up with a fractured skull, it was horrible to see that.


Grimsby and proud!

Injustice yeah the gateshead game. Ive never felt so slow driving home after a game. Felt robbed. Think Challinor not getting a red and continuing to play football and now manage whilst a very gifted Martin Pringle never played again has to be up there too

At home to Bolton promotion 3 pointer, Sean Cunnington clean through on goal legged up from behind in the penalty area. linesman did his job and waved his flag for  2 or 3 mins for a really blatant penalty and the ref totally ignored him and despite protests from players refused to go and speak to him, Wonder if it was Ross Joyces dad or something. Think its on Youtube somewhere.
Another cracker salford away this year, scored from a direct free kick ref gave it, everyone headed back for the restart then after an ear battering from Salford manager, a couple of mins later the 4th official overuled the ref as we had a player on the end of the wall, first time Ive ever known a 4th official make decisions on the pitch based on a manager complaining to them

Me getting excited for a new season to start then getting bummed 0-4 at home to Crewe in the first game of the season.

Signing Nick Colgan and then playing him.

Adolf Hitler is the biggest ever villain for invading Austria and Poland when we were on the way to becoming an established top flight team (including reaching 2 FA Cup Semi-Finals).

We were relegated the first season after the war and have never been back again.
