Cockerill scored direct from a corner against Wolves in the FA Cup but he also scored against Donny too although that wasn't a corner it was just a verynnarrow angle. Here's that Donny goal.

The concierge in the black suit peaked cap with GTFC badge on who used to welcome the visiting teams and guest into the players and directors entrance that was when we had a bit of class around the place
The incomparable Tom Fox-Did the job well into his 80's. Anyone who ever played in the Lindsey League had good reason to be grateful for Tom's love of all things football. |

Dave Worthington ball juggling as part of his warm up,his specialty being flicking the ball over his head and catching it between the shoulder blades
Stuart Brace scoring 4 in a game against Oldham including 3 in about 6 minutes
Dave Boylen scoring direct from a corner against Plymouth
And on and on. Oh, happy days of my carefree youth!
Great memories... |

I remember an incident in the old Barratt Stand when someone threw a bottle onto the pitch and a Norwich player threw it back hitting one of the stand supports and showering glass down onto a young lad. The crowd went mental and the said player went and played over on the main stand side for the rest of the game. The players name escapes me.

Anyone remember:
1.Football Rattles.
2.Rosettes.
3.The Guy in the black and white striped suit and top hat walking round the side of the pitch getting the crowd going.
4.The Telegraph Photographer and his HUGE camera, pulling HUGE photographic plates out the back and giving them to a lad who jumped on his bike and pedalled like hell to the offices to ensure they were printed in the Football Telegraph that evening.
5.The old guy who continually shouted "Are You There Wouldy" to our illustrious as then chairman F A Would.
6.Hanging numbered plates up on the fencing to give half time scores that would correspond with the fixtures in your programme. (never seemed to tally)
7.Coming down the back exit steps of the Barratts Stand and wondering if you would make it down before it collapsed, (or caught fire because of a stray dog
end).
8.Dads carrying stools and boxes for the kids to stand on. (Now banned under Health and Safety Regs)
9.Grown ups passing kids overhead to the front so they could sit on the ash track and see the game. (Also now banned under Health and Safety regs)
10. Brass bands marching before the kick off.(Grimsby Borough Police Band mainly)
11.Leaving your push bike in an old lasses front garden in Imperial Ave for a tanner, and trying to untangle yours from a stack of about 40 others after the game.
12.When no supporter in the ground could be seen wearing a match day shirt. (when did that start?)
Cos i do.
Great post. I'm old enough, unfortunately, to remember 7 out of 12 of them! 1st game I ever went to was Darlo at home in 71-72. Dad took a box for me and my brother, just remember how packed it was and there was scrapping in the osmond. Nobody's mentioned the open air toilets at the back of the main stand. Always thought bp was at its best under lights.atmosphere just seemed much better. Ivano doing his tour of the ground after his WBA winner, spanking Norwich in the fa cup with a weakened team and some of the superb flowing football we played under laws. The Exeter promotion game was awesome and scrapping on the pitch with Stoke. Wish we still had that bloke in uniform and that we gave out fish to the opposition.would give us a bit of class. Is that little snug posh bar still deep in the main stand? Went in thee once as a youngster and it seemed like a little oasis of calm |

I vividly remember the minute's silence when a trawler was lost at sea. Very poignant and demonstrates the strong links between the club and community.

And ironically some of the community don't want a new ground!!!! |

The guy in the late 80s early 90s who used to shout at the top of his substantial Scottish voice "Get f***in in'tae 'em" who used to stand on the terraces between the Pontoon and the Findus
"Sing When We're Fishing"-the magazine not the chant....
Moving from end to end in the ground-particularly at night games...if Town were kicking towards the Osmond in the second half...
