Quoted from grimsby pete


For some reason the yanks seem to think a lot of us brits are Australian we were asked a couple of times where we from Aussie.


Cos they have two British accents in their heads. Posh or cockney.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Remember being in grand canary and a market seller. Had all sorts of fake stuff he asked me my team was and I told him Grimsby and challenged him to find something in his stock a few moments later with big smile he produce a gtfc badge. Laugh out loud I had to buy it  


That also happened to me in Gran Canaria, I came across a street seller with football fridge magnets and after scanning them said I bet you have not got a Grimsby one.
He picked up his box and a few minutes of sorting out came the Grimsby one. Yes I was the same had to buy it but for 6 euros did not seem too expensive.

In the late 1960s somebody went to Norway (no idea who now).  They knew that I supported Town. They came back with a strange “scull cap” for a small child.  It was red and white with a bobble on the end of a 4 inch piece of cord.  Woven on the front were the words “Grimsby Town”.  

A mystery.  Even the colours.

Quoted from Poojah
I seem to remember there was a great story a number of years back about a Town fan who got caught up in a military coup while working in Africa, and ended up spending days stood on an oil barrel at gunpoint.

Thinking he was about to be shot dead, he offered his Town shirt to his captor who agreed to spare his life in return.

I’m sure I remember reading something to that effect. Can anyone confirm I’m not imagining things?


Can I have some of what your taking?

I was travelling around Australia on a tight budget and needed a haircut.  I went into a barbers and the price he told me was too high.  I thanked him and turned to go when he said, "Wait a minute mate.  What football team do you support?" "Grimsby Town", I replied.  He gave me the cut for half price.  He was born in Caistor.

Same thing happened to me but the barber was from Scunthorpe. Never again 😉

I got on an internal flight in the US, when I lived there, probably going from Philadelphia to Chicago. One of the stewards was English and we had a chat about where you live and then when we got on to where he was from....Skeggy.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.
