Yes really.

When did we last have players as good as Coyne, McDermott, Gallimore, Santos, Barnard, Groves, Pouton, Oster, Hughes, Jevons, Kabba, Boulding, Livingstone?



Erm…about 20 years ago.

I know like wtf some real quality players there, we even had three then current internationas in the line up,!!! Amittedly some of those players like Groves and Livo were at the end of their shelf life.

Central defence was our real achilies heal that year i think if we'd been better there we would have faired much better, Chettle was way past it, Groves, Santos and Livo were just players who could play there if in a bit of a sticky wicket, and did we have Gavin that year, I can't  remember  but he was excrement anyway.

That and if we'd been able to keep Kabba and maybe got Oster back a bit earlier. What a flipping shame we've not even come remotely close to that again.

Too true, Ron. For the first time for many seasons I feel that we now have a bright future with the new owners. Watching the Play-Off compilation on YouTube was so dramatic. How those lads fought against all the odds and kept fighting. Brought tears to my eyes even though I am an old man. Rekindled my pride in being a Mariner. Just great.


Exactly how I feel. Well said.

It's a great time to be a Town fan! Been a while since we could say that.

2. The game saw the first appearance of Town’s godawful GTS kit. It would be the only time we would wear that kid as intended, with white names and black numbers on the back. The shirt was a direct rip-off of Juventus’ 2002/3 kit, but the football league wouldn’t allow different coloured names and numbers the following season, and so we had to settle for red, which looked shíte.

3. Danny Coyne wore a white goalkeeper shirt, that was never seen again. Danny likewise.

Was this the only time MM was sponsored by Vets 4 Pets?

And top work by GTS in getting the badge on the wrong side 👍

4. I accidentally saw Darren Mansaram’s cóck in the bogs of the Baton Rouge later that night. It had both good length and girth. Regrettably, I have no photographic evidence of this.


Have to say I am disappointed to read this from you. You are one of the finest posters on this board and I always look forward to your insights. But I expect better than this from you.

Can you elaborate? It’s a true account of that day and something that stuck in my head (the memory, not Mansaram’s appendage) many years later.

I apologise if my post did not live up to your expectations.

I'm not from Grimsby, but was Baton Rouge that bad that somebody like Poojah shouldn't have been frequenting it?

can anyone update us on what certain members of that squad are doing in 2022?
A lot of them can only be traced back to 6-7 years ago

Shaun Allaway is currently first team goalkeeping coach at Thatcham. Alarming!
