The Mariner.

I don’t remember the National Fishing Heritage Centre having a permanent Grimsby Town Football Club display, so this must have been part of a temporary exhibition I went to see. I don’t know much about the club’s history, but these early players lack the vertical black and white stripes that characterise the more modern team shirts. These early players also wear the arms of Great Grimsby as their team emblem (the more modern emblems features a complicated design incorporating vertical black and white stripes, a fishing trawler and three fish).
