| Jackie Bestall | 1926-1938 | 457 | 83 goals |
Jackie was a legend with the Town fans, he had a lounge at Blundell Park named after him. Signed in 1926 from Rotherham, Bestall went on to get one cap for England. Jackie played 427 league games for Town, only ever beaten by Keith Jobling and latterly John McDermott.
When he retired he had numerous jobs in football and died in April 1985 aged 84, and has the smallest road in Grimsby and Cleethorpes named after him, the only Town footballer to be honoured in this way.
This site is by the fans, for the fans, and we will consider articles on any subject relating to the Mariners whether it be related to current news, a nostalgic look back in the past, a story about a player, a game or games in the past, something about Blundell Park or football in general.
