They play in the city of Salford, not Manchester.

We use to play down Abbey Road in Grimsby before moving to Blundell Park, so we have played home games in Grimsby.

Yep. :)
As someone pointed out GTFC used to have a ground (or two) in Grimsby. And I deliberately said 'town' so Manchester doesn't count.

Ah, true but they're not called 'Town' and I'd count Wimbledon FC as the same club (morally) and they did play in SW19 before going to Selhurst.
Wimbledon might have been the answer to the cemetary question - they're very close to Kingston graveyard.

Jurgen Klinsmann (Tottenham), Andre Schurrle (Chelsea) and either Karl-Heinz Riedle (Liverpool) or Fredi Bobic (Bolton). I would say Riedle is more likely, but his spell at Liverpool was fairly average so I'll go with Bobic. Unless Ballack got one?

OK, how about a Town based question to get your teeth into?
If you listed all the players who have scored for Grimsby since dropping down to the Conference in alphabetical order (by surname), who would be at the top of the list and who would be at the bottom?
