We’ve beaten both finalists this century?


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Gary Birtles....won it twice when it was the European Cup.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Danny Rose's brother used to play for us?

James Milner played for Swindon against us in 2003?

Erm, that's the best I can do!

Ah, I was just thinking about that the other day, what year Milner came to Blundell Park with Swindon, I remember being at that game.

Well if you are doing tenuous.  Raheem Sterling played at BP for an England youth team.  He may well finish in the league above Spurs and Liverpool.  Man City could well have got to the CL final if they had beaten Spurs.

Well if we're talking premier league Ryan Bennett could be a big part of deciding who wins the league if man City don't find it as easy as everyone expects them to at brighton

This one’s a bit tenuous: Tottenham and Liverpool are both - like Town - football clubs.

Like Spurs and Liverpool, we often struggle with not having enough tickets allocated to us when playing away from home

Liverpool had never won the European Cup / Champions League until they appointed a former Town manager ....

Spurs have never won the European Cup / Champions League and have never appointed a former Town manager...

Coincidence ..?  i dont think so.

How about, Champions League success is integral to the sales & marketing strategy GTFC as well as LFC and THFC.
