The shirt worn by Jack Hodgson in Grimsby Town’s 1939 F.A. Cup semi-final versus Wolves at Old Trafford. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/piece-gtfc-history-coming-home-6560098 When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I find it depressing as fùck, to be honest. Of the 76,962 there that day, a great many of them young men, how many found themselves in battle just a few months later? My grandad was one of them, and he was very, very fortunate to make it back alive. I wonder how many didn’t? A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Teddy Buck's has survived. It is owned by a local Town fan and collector of memorabilia. I've seen photos of it. I dont know of any others. The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

Given the lack of branding and the fact it wasn’t made by any particular sportswear brand, this could be something the club could release, like a retro shirt. Especially given the significance. I know we’d all like the 82 adidas kit but we’ve been over the reasons we can’t have that…this however, we could… 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
