Who have you played football with /  against .

When I was 15  i played Sunday league against Tommy. Briggs .   He was Hard as nails.

Also  played against Duncan McKenzie before he went on to greater things
in Sunday league. Sunday league.

Played in town juniors with Harry Wainman. He was unbeatable.

Played in same side with Tom Daley good keeper.
Bernard Fleming played a few games when I was at Nalgo.

Also played against GRIMSBY Police who had several ex pro's s. In their side but can not remember who.

I played futsal with Danny North, he scored an absolute piledriver from kick off.
I also played at Blundell Park and non other than sir Alan Buckley was marking me on the wing  

Played with John McDermott, Gary Croft, Gary Childs, Matthew Bloomer Graham Rodger and to a lesser extent Tom Charlesworth who some will remember came on a substitute once for the Mariners back in the conference days.

Vernam, Clifton & Max Wright on a fairly regular basis

Mike and Bernie Winters.  

Used to play footie with Chris hargreaves and Chris grocock at Haverstoe park.

But, was lucky enough to play cricket with the whole squad at the start of the 93/94 season. Also used to play cricket with mark lever a good bit.

Also had a knockabout with a balloon with don goodman before the play off final at Cardiff!

Quoted from grimsby pete

Played in same side with Tom Daley good keeper.

Bit of a diver though

I was in a team and George McClean used to train us. He was very hard and physical.

All before they were well known:

Played in same team as Terry Donovan and against Kevin Drinkell when in 6th form at Matthew Humberstone. We won but I remember Drinkell waltzing all around our team to score a goal

Played cricket against Tony Ford at Wintringham School - he hit me out of the ground for 6!

Worked at same petrol station as Glenn Cockerill for awhile.

With over 30yrs of playing Sunday league under my belt ...just about everyone locally 😆

A young Chris Hargreaves before he signed for Town for Freetime i think....and an old Kenny Sharpe who had been at Ipswich in the late 70's for LOR maybe.
Couldn't get near Hargreaves for pace...couldn't get near Kenny as he was 3 or 4 yds in his head quicker.
Made the mistake of sizing him up before the game and thinking easy morning here against that old barrell up front...couldn't have been more wrong 😄

I played in the Army(Cyprus) team against the Cyprus National side back in 1973 during a 2 year tour there.  Oh and just remembered, played with Merfyn Jones, Welsh professional footballer who played for Scunthorpe, Crewe and Chester.  Played one match with him for Barton Town reserves back in the '60s, where he played on the left wing, and I was Centre Forward.  He dropped 3 perfect crosses onto my head for me to score a hattrick of headers.  I also played against Southampton when they were invited to our Barracks for a day out, shooting, driving Army vehicles etc.  Lawrie Mac was the Manager at that time, which was in the 70's, cannot remember the exact year.  The only player I can remember in that side was Mick Shannon.

Not football but did play competitive Cricket against Abdul Qadir.Played golf with Don Givens. Also played against Terry Donovan in the back garden

Gary Lund at school and on Edward school field a lot. In the same U13/14 side as Andy Moore I was sh1t and believe it or not he was probably the 3rd or 4th best player.

During the 50's and 60's I played against a number
of  ex pros including Tommy Briggs, Arnie Walker,
Albert Stokes  ( that's one for the real oldies ) Willie
Purvis, to name just a few.

The best I ever played with competitively, by far,
was Jimmy Fell. That was at Clee and when you
gave the ball to Jim you could almost guarantee
a goal.

In later years I played against two up and coming
lads, namely Emson and McKenzie, and a little
Irish bloke called Waters would come and join in
our training at Tetney.

Played against Mike Brolly in a five a side match when he was a teacher at Hereford.

Just played against Chris Hargreaves, who was in the year above me at school. I think we had a 4th year vs 5th year game for some reason or other.

David Soames , Mansaram , Kirk Wheeler For Towns youth team  who all went on to play for the first team i think  ,sure there were some more .
Michael Tonge - i was at sheff utd from under 14 to 16
He was pretty good .

Retired at 19 not good enough + beer

Yarborough United, Submarine (later to become "East Coast Gas")

Quoted from promotion plaice

Yarborough United, Submarine (later to become "East Coast Gas")

I played for Yarborough United too (around 1986) I also played for Grimsby boys (around 1984)

Quoted from cmackenzie4

I played for Yarborough United too (around 1986) I also played for Grimsby boys (around 1984)

Yarborough United disbanded around that time to become the Submarine pub.

In my younger days I spent a few weekends away with the RAF U23 Development Squad. We had a fixture against England Schoolboys at Lilleshall and at the time Chris Smalling was playing at that level. I only found out a few years later and I've never been able to find out if he was actually playing in that game, but if he was then it might make things much more understandable why I was absolutely shocking that day.

Also played for an Inter-Services team in the Falklands in 2018 against an England C / FA Representative team. Paul Fairclough was manager but it wasn't quite the National League level players, mainly made up of level below NLN/S. The keeper was an ex-Swindon pro (Leigh Bedwell), which in my logic makes me ex-pro level having scored twice in the game!

Had a quick check of a few names the other day and a few are playing NLN/S now. Charlie Ruff at Havant and Waterlooville, Ibrahim Olatude who's now playing alongside Ira Jackson Jr at Folkestone, Mitchell Parker at Weymouth, Alex Brown who went to Chester from Boston and Sam Ashford, who made 29 appearances for Crawley and now plays for Ayr United.

I played five-a-side against Peter Bore just after he got released by Lincoln, he was blowing out of his arsë after 5 minutes which made me feel reassured about my lack of fitness.

Played with Paul Goodhand who was a first year pro at the turn of the millennium, if that is the standard of player that didn't make it in the game...

Played in the same kid’s team as Danny North & Pete Bore before they joined town - Bore was a prolific forward & Northy a decent defender before Neil Woods got his hands on them! Used to play 5-a-side against Dave Smith pretty regularly down at Matty Humberstone & saved one of his pens once.

Played in a veterans match against a team containing Colin Hendry, Gavin McCaan & Trevor Sinclair. Colin Hendry was much smaller than I thought he would be. Also had a kick about with Lee Ashcroft about 10 years ago - quite fat but amazingly skilful.

I played with Theimperialcoroner when he could get out of bed on a Sunday morning. 😂

Quoted from promotion plaice

Yarborough United disbanded around that time to become the Submarine pub.

Was it Bryn Jones who was the manager, that name rings a bell.

Played in the school team with Matthew Bloomer and also fancied his Mum. Scored a penalty against Steve Sherwood in some sort of pay a quid to take penalties against Steve Sherwood charity event.

Played Yarborough Utd for Bryn Jones from Under 13 to Under 16

Then played Vauxhall League Div 2 1988\89 whilst at Uni for Malden Vale for £20 per game and against Gordon Hill and Efan Okeki

Then Sutton Utd and Corinthian Casuals in Conference and Isthmian League

At school played against a lot of Grimsby schools for De Aston but definitely played against Martin Young, who I believe played for Winteringham, and Terry Donovan at Mathew Humberstone.

In Lincs League played with Brian Hill for Market Rasen and Jimmy Fell played for Ross Sports, Appleby Frodingham had about six or seven ex Scunny players in their team including Geoff Barnard, Duncan Welbourne and David Sloan, Messingham had Graham Rusling also ex Scunny. Later on Boyle, Stuart Gray, Clive Wiggington and Mick Czuzman all played in Lincs League and Clive also played for Ferryboat in Lincoln Sunday League.

In mid-nineties played in a regional over35’s league which included a team of ex-professionals and in our first year they were Sheffield based players and their team was captained by Emlyn Hughes and had Ronnie Glavin, Stuart Barraclough and Ernie Moss in their team but can’t remember the others and in year two we had a Nottingham based side which had McGovern and Gemmell in their line up.

Struggle now to kick the bloody ball twenty yards!!!

Can’t remember what his name was but we used to go on caravan holidays to France in the late 90’s and early 00’s. All the British dads and lads would drive into a town called St Gilles and have a full on game. There was a Senegalese chap already on the field in full Nantes training kit, turned out he was one of their players or at least part of their squad or on trial and he was training on his own trying to get a bit of fitness. He ended up playing with us, had a photo with him but forgot his name.

I went to school with a lad called Phil Bolton. Was a good mate growing up and he was a keeper for our school team. He went on to be a pro Rugby Union player with Leicester, Bedford etc and had a pretty solid career.

Living over Lincoln way I briefly played Sunday league about 14 years ago and played with a lad called Jonny Bell who played for Lincoln City, think he ended up at Stamford. He was decent.,

You played for Sutton in what is now the NL?!

Played with Paul Wilkinson at school - I wasn’t good enough for the Toll Bar first team but Wilky was in my class and we played together in inter-form competitions.

Played with Bernard Manning’s son Bernard Jnr (Barney) for the Red Lion Withington in the Manchester Publicity Sunday league.

I can also remember playing for the Red Lion on the pitch next to one where Timperley Big Shorts FC were playing with Frank Sidebottom lining up for them in full papier mache head.

Somebody jogged my memory with Steve Sherwood .


I was a proud member of the 'Steve Sherwood goalkeeping school' which took place every Saturday morning behind Scartho baths between the mid 90's and about 2000 .

I think a couple of the lads signed up with Town Scott Drury , Paul ''Fraz' Fraser and of course on occasion his assistant,as he was known back then  by Steve  'little Steve ' Croudson (quite ironic now ).

Steve's introduction to newbie wannabe keepers 'was hi I am Steve , I used to be a goalkeeper ' (Looking back I think he was selling himself a bit short as  he was a very decent keeper and played in an FA cup final!)

Steve liked the sessions to operate with a relatively large group , with a wide range of age between them (about 7 to 16 ) so there were all sizes and abilities involved .

Steves sessions were great , but one of his ideas seemed a bit sketchy as it involved small sided games with 2 keepers in nets with the others as outfielders which was a recipe for disaster (see above paragraph ) so we would invariably see on more than one occasion a younger youngster take a tumble with tears and given some magic spray .

Steve had one thing he was serious about 'the golden mars bar ' which would be given out for 'performance of the day' which unfortunately was not always given out for that but to smooth things over with whatever kid had been crashed into in  the mentioned game above , apart from that it was process of elimination but it rarely made that stage .

Steve's son regularly came down as an innocent bystander (so we thought ) and then one day we reached the end of our session ,Steve starts checking his bag to find the days mars bar and it's gone !for the first and only time Steve seemed less than laid back , he was not happy ! It's safe to say the culprit was in his car and he always seemed to carry extra mars bars after that .

Top bloke Steve

As a junior we lost 13-0 to that vicars French sounding team at Sussex Wreck, any chance of playing for Town was over after that.

I use to play hockey and went to a festival on the Isle of Man. We were drawn against an Irish team called Ollies Transvestites who turn up dressed as women.

Half time we were 8-0 down and wondering what hit us, they were out of this world compared to us. One of them came over with a crate of Guinness for us, one of many they had. It turned out that about 8 of their team played for the Irish National team and the others for the Irish national 2nd eleven.

They took pity on us in the 2nd half and only scored a further 4 goals, making it a 12 - 0 rout. Regrettably, yours truly was the keeper that day.

I also played against Steve Wharton ( ex Scunny owner ) who use to turn up in his Jensen Interceptor.

Quoted from rancido

I was in a team and George McClean used to train us. He was very hard and physical.

Hardest player I played against, kicked me, elbowed me all over the place then at the end of the game congratulate an eighteen year old....what a gent.

The fastest player was Viv Anderson when town juniors played notts forrest, he was eighteen.

Funny old world ain't it, I went to a similar thing in Gainsborough around the same time but it was ran by ex Leeds and Barnsley player Glynn Snodin, at the time both him and Steve Sherwood were playing for Gainsborough Trinity I recall.

Mate lived next door to Steve Stout (think he played for Lincoln then) lives in Scartho we had a kick about.  

Played against Bridge I can't remember the division maybe Div 4, who had Tommy Watson and Mike Brolley who i had the undoubting pleasure of sending him for a sausage (in other words megged him), they also had my ex PE teacher in goal, Mr Todd (or Toddy).

Living over Lincoln way I briefly played Sunday league about 14 years ago and played with a lad called Jonny Bell who played for Lincoln City, think he ended up at Stamford. He was decent.,[/quote]

Was that for FV Jerusalem? I drink in the Plough at Skellingthorpe with Jonny’s dad and Jon, painter & Decorator now, comes in most weekends and runs the pubs pool team.

Played in same team as Chris Woods and also played against Ashley Cole..

Quoted from Grimal

Was woods still brilliant?

Quoted from Grimal

Played in same team as Chris Woods and also played against Ashley Cole..and not forgetting that I played with and against our very own Dave Boylen, admittedly at a much slower pace.

Quoted from Heisenberg

Was woods still brilliant?

He was 15 at the time but he was brilliant even at that age, We were playing in a 5 a side tournament and he kept a clean sheet in every game..

Just realised I can add Danny North now as played this season against him and also Jammal Shahin who I think Neil Woods gave a contract to...he had ridiculously fast feet and could wriggle out of all sorts of tight spots.

Quoted from Grimal

He was 15 at the time but he was brilliant even at that age, We were playing in a 5 a side tournament and he kept a clean sheet in every game..

I was 15 during Italia 90 and I remember wanting Woods to be England’s No.1, but Robson stuck with shilton. You have to wonder what may have been.

I remember Woods playing more regularly once Shilton retired and I think he was No.1 at Euro 1992 maybe, but not qualifying for USA 94 probably ended things, with David Seaman emerging.

Woods WAS fantastic though, hugely underrated.

Quoted from Gainsbro_Mariner

Funny old world ain't it, I went to a similar thing in Gainsborough around the same time but it was ran by ex Leeds and Barnsley player Glynn Snodin, at the time both him and Steve Sherwood were playing for Gainsborough Trinity I recall.

Yeah it is mate , I am not a big thinker of the past but someone mentioning Steve brought back memories , they were good times when you just played for enjoyment  .

I have only been to Gainsborough once in my life and it was for our 'big school trip' around the same time to 'Gainsborough old hall' is that still there ?

Yeah I forgot I played against Dean Crombie when he played for Adelaide in the Lincoln Sunday League and with Gary Crosby for Monsons United and he also made a few guest appearances for Ruston Bucyrus when Lincoln United didn’t have a game.

In terms of getting close to the premiership I've played with neighbours of mine( training in local parks)  who were both on Chelsea's books in the youth team. Both were technically good but didn't make it. Reminds me of a documentary I saw on TV following youngsters at Chelseas youth academy . Only John Harley and Jody Morris came through albeit with limited success at Chelsea. Again reflects how tough it is to make it professionally.

Did not play against him but had the pleasure of talking to Ted Buck. one after noon while my lads was decorating his bungalow in Humberston.

It must have lasted over an hour and he told me so many things about town being near the top of the then premiere league.

We would have been in Europe if they had the cups in those days.

One thing that stuck in my mind was Ginger Hall worked as a joiner on building sites and he used to ride his bike from work Saturday dinner when we played at home.stopped at the Imp. for a pint then went into ground to play Division one football.
All for a pittance these premiere players nowadays don't know they are born.

Once played against Bryn Law when I lived in Leeds, always thought he was an ex-pro up until then but after five mins of being on the same pitch as him I realised he couldn't have possibly played professionally.

Played with ex Leicester and Cambridge winger Lee Philpott as kids..

Yep, still got him on social media and worked with him for a short while. Yeah it was for FVA, he convinced me to join up although I played a single game for them and came off injured, it was the last time I played football. I wasn't a bad little player when I was 15/16/17 but even by 2010 in my mid twenties I was crocked and didn't have anything left to give. Used to play Wednesday nights with him down at Rustons around the same time, you could tell with his first touch and control he'd played been signed on with a professional team.

Quoted from Mappers

The Old Hall is yep, although I left Gainsborough a good 15 years ago, rarely go back these days. Only kept the username on here because it was what I had on the old fishy.

You did ask.  I played football with my RAF mate Derek Priestly in Germany.  Just in friendly knock about games as neither of were any good.

  He was worse after I accidentally broke his leg!  He was not impressed as he had booked to go to the Euro football championships in Italy soon (1980).  He went on crutches and got hassled by the police for no reason.

I've stayed on a campsite outside St Gilles and was surprised to find a full on footy stadium locally, which I was told was a community facility. It's not exactly a Metropolis there.

Wonder if I know you then as I used to go down to those sessions about the same time, maybe a bit later - 99 to 2001sh.

There was a kid who used to go called Spider and he was the best keeper I’ve ever seen, no idea what happened to him. Kid called Wacker (think his name was Warman?) too, another great keeper. Think most who went down to those sessions ended up at GY Boro or a similar level at some point, apart from me as I was absolute dogger.

Best drill was when he set up a little square out of 4 cones, each side was a goal with someone in it and 4 lads stood around the outside trying to score in any goal, or straight through two for double points.

Scunthorpe Sunday league against Ian Botham, he lived in Epworth in them days and played for one of the village pubs, he was an absolute animal and would go for every ball, I suppose you could see his winning mentality, in the late seventies played against Terry Donovan so whenever Keelie is on Look North doing the weather always say I nearly got close to her dad.

Bizarrely against 2 Northern Ireland international wingers.
David Sloan at Ashbyville, Scunthorpe and many years later against the late Noel Brotherston at Blackburn

Quoted from Heisenberg

You played for Sutton in what is now the NL?!

Yes - was in Vauxhall League 1 then. Best part was playing in the midweek Capital League for the reserves if picked for them as played Palace, Brentford away etc against their reserves in great grounds

Sutton now in our league and really come on well

Paddy madden anyone???

To be honest I spent a lot of my teenage years playing with myself.

I was in the same team as Paul Wilkinson at Toll Bar.

I played against John Robertson in a Sunday League match in Nottingham - I marked him and was expecting to get absolutely roasted but he was on the pop and was bloody awful. I got man of the match.

At University I was roasted by one of the Butterworth brothers who played for Leeds, but I can't remember which one. It's probably PTSD.

My university team was peppered with lads who had played for England schoolboys, including the former England schoolboys captain. My role was to tackle hard and pass the ball to a player who was far better than me.

I played for Arnold Town in the Central Midlands League and our striker was flogged to Mansfield but I can't for the life of me remember his name.

All of this was in the era of very tight shorts, permed mullets and the Kickers and jeans combo that required your jeans to be cut at the seams.
