First home game was beating Burnley 3-1 to stay in the championship. First away game was a 5-0 loss to Lincoln in league 2 four years later. Quite the contrast

Some of these first away games are making me feel old. Mine was Scunny away, Auto Windscreens game in '98 on the road to Wembley. Terrible game from memory, Town not really at the races but won thanks to late goals from Paul Groves and the on loan Wayne Burnett. Can still see Grovesy's face in my minds eye, absolutely beaming with arms aloft - at the time it felt like I could reach out and touch him.

Walking back away from the ground we then got ambushed by about 200 Scunny fans hiding behind a giant conifer next to the roundabout up the road from Glanford Park. Quite an exciting way to start...

Wolves 2nd replay at the Baseball Ground

Same here.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Northampton Town at the old County Ground that they shared with the county cricket club - 24/04/79. Town won 2-1 with Cumming and Waters scoring. It was to be Grimsby's last victory of the season, finishing with a draw and two defeats including the famous 3-4 home defeat to Donny and Jack Lewis.

Town still finished second in the league and were promoted to the old Division 3.

I fell onto the pitch after first goal, got thrown out the ground, as I walked round the back of the stand they opened the doors so I sneaked back in, just in time for the second goal
