Scunny, early 70's.

The train got wrecked on the way home and we all got chucked off before it reached GY station and had to walk miles back to Cleethorpes on a school night.

My Ma was going frantic when I got in.

Can't remember anything about the game, only the journey there and back, which all felt so grown up to a school kid.

Would likely have been Scunthorpe in the 67/68 season or the year after.

Quoted from ex-merseymariner

Think mine was Barnsley 4 Mariners 1 in 1994. Andy Payton hattrick.  Lots of rain, little shelter.


Boxing Day 1994. We played Oldham at home the following day. The last time the Football League had fixtures on consecutive days.

Aston Villa 1991 league cup, went through on away goals thanks to a penalty with our backs against the wall for most of the game. Remember Sherwood being awesome maybe his last season in goal for us? Villa found a brick wall in goal and couldn't force a winner despite going for it. Remember a young Dwight Yorke being an exciting player to watch and he could have scored a winner if Sherwood wasn't having the game of his life.

I think the crowd atmosphere is what sold being a GTFC supporter for life to me at 6 years old, this was the first season my dad had started regularly taking me to games and I wasn't quite all in on the football until this game, then I wanted to go every week.

Minibus to WBA in the cup. I can't remember the game at all.  Just remember we lost because of my uncle's face. I just looked it up and it was 1981 (3-0 BTW), which made me 14.   I remember another kid  who was maybe two or three years younger than me. As soon as we parked the van, he went down an alley for a pee.  Cop van screeched to a halt, grabbed hold of him and threw him in the back for indecent exposure.  He's a kid for Christ sake. He missed the whole first half.  What a bunch of tw^ts!!!

It was a long journey home.

Rhyl FA cup 1st round 1959. won 2-1, Johnny Scott got at least one.
The match referee dived into our compartment  as the train was about about to pull out of the station after the game.
Worked for Dulux (?)  Paints.
More priceless info available at the Home for the Utterly Confused in Heswall.

Boxing Day 1985 Hull City away when Mike Lyons was player manager and he dropped Gary Lund and installed himself as centre forward and we lost 2-0 . What a Pratt!!


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Doncaster away Belle vue 1973ish

Went on players coach as my dad was the club Doctor. About 9 years old, can remember sitting behind Malcolm Partridge and him smoking a pipe and the whole coach filled with thick smoke!

Lovely guy, stopped at a hotel for lunch, invited me for a kickabout in the hotel car park.


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out
