I suppose I do!? It’s a good idea and I would happily supply the club with a high-res scan of the image should they wish to display it in house.


A generous offer. If the Club are interested they now have the resources to properly celebrate our connection to Shankly and that famous team. Unless they already have their own copy and forgot to tell anyone!

I grew up in Immingham, and at that time there was a branch of the Grimsby Town supporters club, run by Andy Keenan, relation Aussie Mariner'?
A dance was organised at the Tin Mish, where the management and players were invited to attend.
Bill Shankly not only came, but brought all 33 of his professional players.
In those days Town had a team in the football league, one in the Midland League and one in the Lincolnshire league.
Consequently any injuries were replaced by the same position of the team below.
The point of this post, is to say that I watched Bill Shankly sign the drummer's ( Thompson? ) snare drum skin.
What would that be worth?
