We had a keeper on loan who played a blinder. Sheff We’d in the league cup when we knocked them out less than a year after being tonked 7-1. QPR in the league cup when we lost on pens was one of the best games and atmospheres so can remember. Barnsley away under Laws when they were top and we were bottom. Came away with a 3-1 win and the locals weren’t happy. Used to love that rivalry.

The 7-1 drubbing of Luton in the FA Cup. Everytime I went to the loo or to get a cuppa another goal went in. I only saw 2 of the 8 goals but the atmosphere was electric. Another match we were playing at home to Crewe one season. I think we were 2nd in the league and Crewe were 3rd. Everyone was saying it should be a fantastic game with plenty of goals......... ...........not a single shot on goal for either team!

I was at that WBA game - we beat them 1-0 again a few weeks later the following season despite getting absolutely battered. I wasn’t at the Ipswich game but it’s one of those weird moments that I remember where I was when Handyside volleyed home (in my old man’s car, just the wrong side of the Humber Bridge). Anyway, by the power of YouTube: [youtube]6vwCkAB4FPI[/youtube] [youtube]SfF4zRf0dtg[/youtube] [youtube]ZYFNahxClms[/youtube] [youtube]yik0XRY5eyw[/youtube] Re: West Brom 0-1 Grimsby (Pouton pen) in 2001/02... I remember listening to BBC Radio 5 Live on the way home from that match thinking we'd get some good coverage after starting the season with 2 league wins and 2 clean sheets and all we got was... "And Grimsby won 1-0 at West Brom" That season we won 1-0 at West Brom, Coventry & Wolves. Seems a long time ago.

Town came away with a 1-0 win courtesy of Mendonca but we were under the cosh the whole game Dublin, Taylor and Philpott running the game. Happened to bump into Paul Reece dad outside the ground who saw my Town shirt and gave me a free ticket.. his lad played his best game I saw from him that day.

I remember getting picked up by my mam who was parked in front of their bus and seeing a disgruntled Geoff Hurst sat at the front of it waiting for the players to get back on..   "Crombie you would have got to that if you weren't such a fat ba%$@rd" - George Kerr, inspiration from the dug out 70s style

I was living and working In Nottingham at the time. Knowing several Forrest fans, continually basking in their Cloughie led successes, I persuaded them to come with me to see ‘little Grimsby’ at Filbert St Leicester on a Tuesday night. What a brilliant night/game/result. The side played so well, with Trevor Whymark literally  head and shoulders above the rest. The Captain was of course the fantastic midfield maestro Joe Waters. I have never felt so smug and so proud to be a Town fan. Oh for those days again.....

At the time Everton were running away with the top division Away to Wimbledon at Plough Lane in 1980. Won 6-3 after being 1-0 down early on. If my memory serves me correctly we scored 5 goals in 20 minutes.
