The Mariner.

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).

Why wait for English Heritage to get around to putting up a blue plaque when you can do it yourself? I wish I’d gone in and had a drink now (especially since I’ve subsequent read about its historic pub interior on the CAMRA website http://www.heritagepubs.org.uk/pubs/historic-pub-interior-entry.asp?pubid=358), but I was a bit pushed for time. Perhaps, on my next visit to York, I’ll have to make the time for a pint of bitter in the very same pub where George Robinson played a crucial role in the formation of York City Associated Football Club.
