Absolutely this . The season just gone doesn't belong in the same discussion. People have short memories. The club was heading into the conference when Buckley took over . No players and a right mess . Within 3 seasons we were in the championship. Unbelievable.

surprise nobody has mentioned the 1930's  - surely the best ever time to have supported GTFC.
Top 5 finish in the top division and FA Cup semi finalists - doesn't get much better than that

I think you have made a good point. The top ever finish for the club.  I just wondered if we still supporters in this age group?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

My Mum was born in 1930 and she said on the day she was born her Dad was at Hillsborough watching Town in The First Division.

Although attending the odd game in the 70’s stood on a beer crate with my best mate. It was Buckley mk1 that cemented my love for the club. I became that obsessed with the mariners I asked my father in law (to be) if he could drive me back from Dornoch in Scotland for kick off. He politely obliged. 480 miles later he dropped me off at 14.50. Great times.

1998 for me, the joy of going to Wembley to see the Mariners in the Auto Windscreens final followed a few weeks later for a play off final really doesn’t get any better than that, and winning both games was something very special.


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Early 80's for me, Nigel Batch, Trevor Whymark, Drinks, Kev Moore, Fordy, Joey Waters, Bobby Cumming, the list goes on, great times


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

Agree about the 80’s and playing with 2 wingers Ford and Cummings was a great time on an awful Blundell Park pitch.
