First things first I love football and under this topic come Grimsby Town FC, the team I've followed for the best part (more metaphorical than literal) of my life. During this time there have been highs.
That is the best goal ever and at Anfield, always a bonus.
2008 Johnstone Paint Trophy Final. We didn't win the game due to a bad penalty miss and a couple of dodgy decisions but to just see your team there is a dream.
Before this there were two trips to Wembley in 1998 and then a trip to the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff in 2006 which ended in disappointing defeat after a terrific season.
The lows have been back-to-back relegations from the Championship and League One down to the basement division where we only just fought off relegation last campaign. Hoping for more this season.
As a final bit I've made my best and worst GTFC XI. If you know more than 10 I will be impressed.
(Idea taken from a certain Ben Hobson)
That Jevons goal made it on to my blog not so long ago ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post Jonny, I needed to brush up on my GTFC knowledge. Thanks for the link and label too :p I recognise a few names - Andy Todd (of course), that lanky Ben Futcher who plays for Bury, plus John Oster and Danny Butterfield. I wonder how long it'll be before Gordo comes out with his all-time Widnes 13?
