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 )

In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

75 - were did it all go?
There was a time you could sneak onto the pitch at BP in the off season - I 'scored' at both ends with a tennis ball circa 1960 -  aka Ron Rafferty.
Now when I see us score I can think yep i've been there & done that.
Now it's back to the Home fo the Confused - Good Night  UTM.

The fishy needs some young blood or it will die out in 20 years and no one will be around to moan about Hurst being too negative in our champions league games.

We’re not that different. When I was your age I was sat at my desk boring myself with the ins and outs of the infamous “Scunny Honey” competition. My Lord they were awful.

Edit: I’ve found it! For those of you old enough to remember the early noughties, and by which I mean almost all of you, feel free to remind yourself of the best fanny Scunny had to offer (p.s. they were all serious):

In track and field, you can start sprinting after the gun sounds, but if your reaction time is quicker than .100 of a second, it’s still classed as a false start.

As quick as .100 of a second is, it’s still slower than you posting your original message and then posting your edit, providing the link to the Scunts of the Year. 😜

I bet that took a lot of finding! Those images have probably burnt a hole in your hard drive, icloud and, for 23 long years, your fänny addled mind.

Did you ever find out who contestant 24 was?

Busted. I’ve fapping away to those mutants for a good couple of decades now. And yes, here’s contestant 24 wearing that season’s Scunny home shirt. She makes my top 3….

First game 29th October 1955...  Division 3 N... Beat Derby County 2- 1...  Promoted that season as Champions... Average attendance that season was just over 15,000... and the attendence against Derby that day was 19,989...   I had to have a stool to see over the barrier...  I was armed with a wooden rattle which would now be considered an offensive weapon...  Happy days... lol...

Miss Scunthorpe.

No, not another beauty contest,  just very good advice.

68.  Another wrinkly.  After my last long distance walking race I am technically still an international athlete.  Hope to compete again at age 69 and 70 at the same level.

Amazing what people remember (and to be honest, I wish people would forget most of what I got up to at school, as you can probably imagine).

Interestingly, the DJ (Hirsty) that did that particular feature (Grass your mates up I think it was called) used to do midweek pub quizzes in the Barracuda and the Bootlegger, with his co-presenter Danny Oakes, who used to go by the moniker “Pimp Daddy Dog”.

Since it was cheaper to go out in the week (a quid a pint in many places) and you were less likely to get ID’d, I’d be out most weeks and once the quiz was done there would be hardly anyone about, so I got to know them both reasonably well. This helped when it came to shafting my old school mate who’d rather embarrassingly managed to simultaneously shít himself and vomit over his new girlfriend, trying to impress her by downing shots of cheap vodka. I think most of Lindsey school heard that story awkwardly recounted on breakfast radio.

Fast forward a good 15 or 16 years, and I would regularly bump into the two of them, along with a lass who used to present the Capital Breakfast show with them, in the tiny gym in the basement of my office building in Leeds. I’d bump into them all a good couple of times a week, until I didn’t see any of them for ages.

Forgot all about it until one day I bumped into Hirsty, only he was now a she. I try to be as accommodating and respectful as possible of this evolving, modern world we are living in but, blimey, it didn’t half catch me off guard. Trying to work out where you recognise someone from and then you’re like, fúcking hell, THAT’S who it is.

She now presents on another radio station, the name of which I forget. Anyway, back to your game of “who’s the oldest buggér on the fishy”…

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles


In track and field, you can start sprinting after the gun sounds, but if your reaction time is quicker than .100 of a second, it’s still classed as a false start.

As quick as .100 of a second is, it’s still slower than you posting your original message and then posting your edit, providing the link to the Scunts of the Year. 😜

I bet that took a lot of finding! Those images have probably burnt a hole in your hard drive, icloud and, for 23 long years, your fänny addled mind.

Did you ever find out who contestant 24 was?


Yea Gods. In the immortal words of Sean Lock: "That's a challenging w*nk"

Quoted from It Bites
I wish I'd never asked now ....... I didn't realise we were all a bunch of coffin Dodgers


On the contrary, the great abundance of life experience which many Fishy posters possess explains the tremendous footballing wisdom
for which the board is famous.

You could say, I suppose, that we're a bunch of deluded old gits mostly agreeing with one another unless/until we don't.

I strongly incline to the first viewpoint.

I went to a dreadful school, then a decent college, then a good university (that I didn’t deserve to go to!).

First game v York
Charlie Wright in goal
We won 4-3 I think
Before the game my mum and dad took us to Ramsden’s and bought me and my brother a toy Batman car that fired rockets out the back
My brother lost one of the rockets in the ground and dad replaced it with a swan Vesta matchstick
I have been to blundell park hundreds of times since
But never found the rocket lol
So many great memories of watching our beloved GTFC

Forgot all about it until one day I bumped into Hirsty, only he was now a she. I try to be as accommodating and respectful as possible of this evolving, modern world we are living in but, blimey, it didn’t half catch me off guard. Trying to work out where you recognise someone from and then you’re like, fúcking hell, THAT’S who it is.


That’s exactly how I felt when I found out Tony Gallimore’s son was right footed.

One of my fondest gtfc memories is standing in wybers Co op considering my beer options and gally steaming straight in and getting 4 special brew with no hesitation. I was proud of his professional decision making. It made me realise the difference between a pleb like me and a seasoned drinker . I’ve been trying to recreate that moment ever since

I've heard stories of people driving home after a game and stopping for a pint in the Grosvenor, only to find Gallimore already at the end of the bar, even though he'd played that day!

Born in Hull, lived in Cottingham until I was about 6. Dad took me to watch the Tigers at Boothferry Park, Waggy, Simpkin and all.

Moved over to Cleethorpes and never looked back, great place to live.

Started following Town in the late 70's, what a team, say no more.


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

I’m the same age as Chris and played with him for several years for various teams, assisting many of his bagful of goals, and also against him as he was at Lindsey and I was at Wintringham.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

That could be a thread "predict the walking aids" for future matches.
