Shaun Pearson supports York City

Otis Khan was on Ninja Warrior (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf0VBYSX8kM) and rejected a call up for Pakistan as he had England ambitions.

Max Crocombe's middle name is Teremoana

Andy Smith was born in Bambury

This is what the lack of transfer activity has reduced me to. Any more?

Every time I see Edwin Essel’s name it still isn’t quite an anagram of Edelweiss.

Every pre-season I hope he’s dropped an ‘n’ over the summer. Maybe next season.

Most of the squad were very happy to sign for us, even though they were not born here or a 30 mile radius, previously played in or near large cities, and felt the nightlife in Meggies was good enough for the odd night out.

When Steve Croudson was a kid, he broke his leg in a karate accident. It didn’t stop him playing football though. He refused to rest and recover.  He just laid on the ground whilst I pinged shots at him and he’d swing his pot leg (or any other part of his anatomy) at the ball and still managed to save 90% of them! 🙂

Yes but thats because your shots were atrocious.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Impressive multi tasking.

I can beat that though. I can walk, chew gum and fart at the same time.

Crab sticks don’t actually contain any crab. And from 1993, manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them ‘crab flavoured sticks'.

Back in the days when I used to work at BP, several of the team, Livvo and Grovesy amongst others, used to help the groundstaff on the pitch after training on a Friday, just for 30 - 60 minutes. I think they used it as a warm down.

When Michee Efete was named in the starting line up to make his home debut in 2021, it was the most E’s Cleethorpes had seen since JD’s shut in ‘99.

Wasn’t there some place called ‘customs’ near the flyover, or did I dream that? I suspect there were plenty of e’s in there.

My wife who is 4ft 9in once mentioned to Paul Hurst at an event how tall the players are, his reply was yes but they're all soft.


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

Michee Efete is friends with Dele Alli and half a dozen other pro footballers.  
Evan Khouri has run the Cleethorpes Park Run 5km
Otis Khan was on Man United's books as a kid, as was John McAtee, after a spell at liverpool


most of these snippets are stolen from interviews in the Mariner programme, except Khouri, I saw him running it.

When Paul Hurst isn’t hunting high and low for us striker, he uses us commute to think up witty palindromes.

If you were in and around Cheapside this morning you’ll have witnessed Hurst instructing Khan to, ‘Sit on a potato pan, Otis’.

Last week it was poor Danny Amos trudging down the tunnel at the County Ground with his manager’s words ringing in his ears, ‘Poor Dan is in a droop. Poor Dan is in a droop. Poor Dan is in a droop’, like some demented parrot.

This isn’t a recent thing either. Rumour has it Ross Hannah’s uncertainty with the offside law was actually confusion borne of Hurst screaming, ‘Did Hannah see bees? Hannah did!’ from the touch line over and over again.

Jezebels was better. Thursday nights, start of the weekend.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!
