Huge Town fan Pete has passed away, lovely article about him in todays telegraph, Lived next to grandma and Grandad down Railway St for many years, sadly all gone now too

Pete was an avid town fan, Home and Away, and growing up i loved talking too him over the wall about Town about what games he was going too that coming weekend, always seemed to be at the away games as well as home

RIP mate UTM

Just seen the article, some serious commitment to GTFC through the years.
RIP Pete

I recognise him from Terry's away coaches, always went to games, RIP Pete

A familiar face from away games.

RIP Pete and commiserations to his family and friends.

I knew Pete’s face too, sad news when a town fan passes. RIP to Pete

Used to sit behind Pete in the Pontoon,always had a cutting quip rest in peace Peter.

Always really gets me to hear news of another fallen Mariner  :'(

We've all sung along to GTID but it's a harsh reality that one day it will come to us all... we never know what lies ahead

Sounds like Pete really was a top fan - RIP  :B

RIP Pete      Read the telegraph story, sad news about a great lifelong supporter.

RIP fellow Mariner

Learning this news about the passing of a Grimsby Town massive fan - I am remembering coming home from a Grimsby Town away game at Peterborough with my late father, where we drew 1-1 . Looking back I think it was 1970. My father would have been 90 currently
He suddenly spotted someone ‘thumbing it’ as we left Peterborough and stopped and picked him up. He knew him from schooldays and hIs name was Pete and they talked Grimsby Town and football for an hour and a half enthusiastically before Pete was dropped off in Grimsby.
I don’t know if this was the same Pete (I never saw him again) but he fits the profile of a similar keen fan.

RIP Pete

RIP Pete. Another stalwart gone. Condolences to the family.... 😔

condolences to Pete's loved ones xxx

RIP Pete!

Is this the Pete who used to have crazy hair dos and go nuts in the pontoon?
If so I used to love watching him when I was younger. Proper fan who loved his club!


Either way Rip fellow mariner x

Sad loss of another character the likes of which we are unlikely to see again.
Like Friskney Mariner I sat near Pete for at least the last ten years in the Pontoon and travelled all over the country with him on Terry's buses to away games. A real gentleman with a wicked sense of humour and a huge knowledge of the game and team he loved.
Pete was the only person I know who attended the 66 World Cup final (Pretty sure he saw all of England's games).

No mate...thats the guy who used to work in Cottees but has now ditched Town in favour of Clee Town I think.

I know a Town fan who was paid to be there for the final. He was Old Bill. 😁

RIP Pete was a true supporter

RIP Pete, a very familiar face at all Town games.
