3rd May 1980

Grimsby Town are crowned Division Three champions after beating Sheffield United 4-0 at Blundell Park in front of 19,276.

Does anyone remember ever seeing videoTV footage of this game?

We aren’t aware anything exists. Can anyone tell me otherwise?

Never seen any . There is some audio commentary on Facebook with the unmistakable voice of Charlie Eckberg commentating for Humberside

I was a mere youth but what a game and atmosphere. Not sure how accurate the gate as there was a couple of weak spots in the main that were an easier way to climb in

Seem to recall there were more weak spots when Sheffield fans tried to smash their way out the back of the Osmond. Great match.

You never take enough in when you live through those moments. I was 25 and I suppose I assumed I would celebrate many more title winning seasons. The main thing I remember is the pitch being rock hard with no grass on it and Kevin Moore being carried shoulder high from the pitch. The attendance of 20k was one of several in that season in league and league Cup.

Sometimes when I close my eyes I can still see images from that game. I thought it was shown on ITV but I am obviously wrong about that.

They showed Sheff Wed v Wimbledon, as it clinched promotion for the Wendy’s. Remember being gutted as the town match was for the championship and a local match.

I was 16 years old at the time. Stood in the old Barrett Stand that day .... what an atmosphere, and what a performance.
If you throw in the League Cup games against Everton and Wolves ...... well, anybody that was at those games will know where I am coming from. UTM.

(the team below had it all)


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.
