Gav Holohan

What a man. Watching the game back on recording as soon as we got home at 8pm. His interview was superb, so proud to play for us and my favourite player this season. My biggest town man love since Disley and what a performance from him last night.
What a performance from the boys including ar' Gav. Utm

I have liked Gav since he signed for us.

Long may be stay and be our penalty taker as well.

I work with a good friend of his, he says he is amazed by our support constantyl.

He will go down as a Grimsby Town cult hero.

The scorer of many an important goal and can strike a ball as well as anyone at this level.

Hartlepool must have had a serious midfield for him to have been surplus to requirements!

Just watch match day highlights... I count atleast 7 players that look to just stand in awe of our support and take it all in.
Someone once said we're spoilt.. no. Anyone who plays with our following backing them is spoilt. Utm

Hard to believe he has only one played 50 games.  He has slotted into the club and the Hurst ethos so well.  Excellent signing

Easy to forget that this time last year, most of us had never heard of Gavan Holohan. I certainly hadn’t. Then, one quiet Tuesday evening on 22nd March 2022, his signing is announced somewhat out of the blue.

I thought it looked a decent signing at the time, but wow, what an impact he’s had. What a year he’s had. So many memorable, and vitally important moments.

That rocket against Chesterfield that set the tone for our renewed form. The winner against Stockport. THAT goal at Meadow Lane. Where would we be without that goal? And now, those two goals against Premier League Southampton, cool as fúck under huge pressure, fresh off the back of Glennon’s missed pen at the weekend.

Putting to one side done patchy league form, our squad is full of heroes at the minute. Players who you can attribute moments that will live forever in the memory. Players who exhibit the kind of values we have sorely missed for too long.

Slowly but surely, this team is repairing the image off this club, and changing the narrative of what it means to be a Grimsby Town player.

You can’t help but feel anything but proud at the minute, can you?

I've written elsewhere about how important Gav is to this team but very much related...

My wife is new to watching football and Town (we've not been married long) and as we walked away from St Mary's I was trying to explain what the difference is between this team and other Town teams over the years. One of the things I said was that they never give up.

She became very animated and said she could completely see that. She could see how much they wanted it against Southampton and in other games and how they work as a team.

In the past I have written in several places (especially here) about how I could forgive our players many things if they just fought for the club and didn't give in. Previous teams made me so bloody angry with how they didn't give a sh*t and just capitulated.

With this team I have my wish.

I've seen numerous Hartlepool fans say that their manager should have been sacked on the spot for letting Holohan go and Jeff Stelling always raves about him too. He lives in Hull so location worked in our favour.

Character is so important and Hurst struck gold with Holohan.

Why on earth has it taken us 11 months to put him on penalties?
