Filbert Street 2nd replay v Soton. Was dumbfounded that our fans outnumbered theirs about 4 to 1, which also happened to be the score, to them.

Lost 1-0


Was at that one. Remember little of the game other than Dele Adebola smashing his knee, quite literally, to pieces after colliding with the post. Was up the other end of the pitch, but one of the nastier looking injuries I've seen on the pitch (after Livvo and Pringle of course).


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I was at that game and I think you mean John Macey, think he did get in goal in front of Harry for a brief period that season, also Benny Williams played on the right wing that day who although a Grimsby lad played most of his Saturday football for Lincoln United.

Yes John Macey. IHad forgotten Benny Williams. Not sure if Gordon Walker was playing centre forward that day even by todays standards probably the worst player we ever had

Although my first home match was in 1972 my first away game wasn't until 1979, the League Cup replay at Wolves, 2nd away game was the 2nd replay at Derby.

Quoted from Chrisblor
Sheffield United, May 1995. The main things I remember:

- Bramall Lane only had 3 stands
- They were chucking loads of free tat into the crowd because it was the last game of the season and I was annoyed I couldn't get any of it as we were sat in the upper tier of the away end
- Dave Bassett did some sort of lap of honour for some reason at full-time
- Absolutely nothing about the game, can't even find out who scored for us.

Was that the game where Bassett ended up in his pants?

Anyway, mine was Preston away, first day of 90/91. First time I'd seen a plastic pitch and was disappointed that it was a 2mm thick bit of carpet chucked on top of concrete.

Quoted from MuddyWaters
Coventry away at Highfield Road 4th round of the FA Cup. Grimsby born Mick Coop scored from a dubious penalty in the last five minutes. Think it was 1973 and I cried most of the way home!


That was mine as well went on a coach from the oldWaterloo Inn at Laceby
