THE voice of football – John Motson – was at Blundell Park this week for a special Grimsby Town evening.
Recognised as one of the country's best-loved football commentators, 'Motty' has been a member of the BBC's Match of the Day team for 40 years. And, after speaking to the fans in attendance at McMenemy's, the 68-year-old recalled the only time he commentated on a Mariners match.
That was back in 1980 when Town entertained Millwall in Cleethorpes, with the hosts winning 2-0 on that occasion thanks to goals from the Kevins – Kilmore and Drinkell.
Motson also backed the Mariners' bid for a new stadium during his visit to the area.
