I was 8.it was my introductory year to Grimsby Town. That season was very, very special. In fact, nothing I have experienced at matches since then has quite matched it, and there have been some incredible experiences in that time frame, I think we can all agree.

If it had been filmed it would only have been a short news story and Roly may well have had a copy but I would have thought it would have been out there by now.

He wouldn't have filmed it as the Findus stand with the gantry wasn't built until 1982.

I remember the end, Town fans taunting United fans that were trying to get out of the cage in the corner. Once in the car Charlie Ekberg was doing his report and said how the Town fans had gone to the Osmond end to applaud Utds fans for never stoppiong singing throughout the game   . He was an old fashioned sort of chap even then.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
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.



19,252 officially, although suspiciously low when compared to 22k v Everton and 23k v Wolves, as it did seem packed everywhere. Probably only 1,500 blades in the Osmond corner though. What did that hold? Maybe 2,500 when full, so would account for some of the difference.

One of the things about those days I can’t get my head round was you just rocked up paid in cash on the turnstile and 19000 got in without a  problem. My brother got married that day and I was best man fortunately the reception was at the Blundell Park Hotel so I managed to do the duties then get in behind the goal in the Osmond last minute wearing a suit and went back to the reception afterwards

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


I might be wrong but I seem to recall one elderly old Bill - arms stretched across the gate separating the away corner from the Main stand keeping the fans apart.

Great match, only 14 at the time. I used to have an official audio cassette of the match, but have never seen any video of the game.
Happy days UTM
