Married with two daughters , Emma and Laura both of whom are Town Fans with Emma coming to all Grimsby games I see with me.

Fishy:
When did you first start supporting the Mariners, and what was your first game?

John:
Always a MARINERS FAN since I was a kid. First saw Grimsby at Home to Bournemouth in 1968.

Fishy:
Who is the best player you ever saw wearing a Grimsby Town shirt?

Clive Mendonca and Sir "MACCA"

Fishy:
If there is one game you were allowed to go back in time and watch what would it be and why?

John:
Brentford V Grimsby, 3 - 1 to Grimsby, 2003 -2005, because I was able to rub in the result to the four Brentford Fans I work with.

Fishy:
What are your favourite and least favourite away grounds?

John:
Favourite Brentford as they are pretty friendly to away fans. Least favourite Plough Lane, an awful place. No wonder they moved Wimbledon.

Fishy:
What, in your opinion, are GTFC's best and worst seasons since you have been supporting them?

John:
Best season the Wembley Double year and the promotion.
Worst season the double relegation 2002 to 2004.

"Dirty Northern Bastards", by any London fans. They are incapable of developing individual chants for teams so anyone North of Watford gets that shouted at them.

Who is the greatest ever GTFC manager?

John:
By their personal record over all it has to be BILL SHANKLY

Fishy:
How many games a season do you get to now, and what do you do while Town are playing games that you can't get to?
