The Mariners come to Kenilworth Road tomorrow in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. They've already knocked out three League 1 teams so it won't be a push over. Not sure who'll be playing in our team what with all the comings and goings but a ball in the 5th round draw would be great. COYH!! Grimsby Trivia   This would have been my first Grimsby/Luton match. At the time both teams were rock bottom of Div 2. We were relegated, match ended 2-2. Ron Davies scored a brace.  |

This classic bit of Grimsby-Luton commentary from 2014 is always worth another look.
And to think "Mpanzy" is still with us and will make his 350th appearance as a Hatter if he plays tomorrow...

Very rare nowadays 350 appearances, and his progression through the Leagues as well. The Premiership would top it all! 👏 |

Some good ones there Steve! and those still fresh in the memory:
England's finest: Ron Baynham
Irish International: Brendan McNally
Record Appearance Holder: Bob Morton, why he was never capped for England is a mystery
Diver sublime and penalty getter: Tommy McKechnie
Dave Pacey: Great servant half back and scorer in the Cup Final taking over from Reg Pearce who was sold to Sunderland
Granny Groves: half back or centre forward. Got barracked but the crowd grew to like him
Fred Jardine: Left winger and became a fantastic attacking left back before the term wing back was thought of
Ron Davis: Must be considered as one of the best centre forward that ever played for Luton
Awyn McGuffie: As I remember took a penalty at Charlton and punctured the football. Could certainly hit a ball in the Ted Phillips class.

I've just altered the result of the match to a draw 2-2, Ron Davies scored both our goals. We went down and Davies went to Norwich and had a brilliant League and International career with Wales.

Tidy old sum in those days but unfortunately for us no add-ons back then!☹️ |

Can’t make it today, enjoy if you’re going.
It’ll be Brill if we Cod Sea the Mariners off, but if we Flounder, it will Plaice them in the next round, something to Carp about. So we’d Batter be at our best.
