Fish Glorious
Fish!
And so now everybody can sing The Grimsby Fish Song© on those long journeys. Just sit back and relax, think of the sun-kissed shores of Cleethorpes, smell the haddock from the dock and the cod from the chippy. But most of all, remember Gary Parkinson’s magnificent equaliser that won us a deserved point. Aah Grimsby, fine trip! At this point I feel it necessary to recall the near calamity on the away end after the Clarets’ equaliser. As the ball hit the back of the net I turned to my right to celebrate with the rest of the gang, only to be met by the sight of Messrs Firmo and McCluggage embroiled in a battle of wills with John Horrocks’ rucksack, which had been strategically placed in the worst possible place, directly in front of the celebrating masses. After picking themselves up off the terrace, Dave McCluggage is believed to be still suffering nightmares over the ‘and at your age too’ stare he got from a woman standing over him. Firmo was later to complain of a temporary paralysis of his back, although a more acceptable reason for this could well be the amount of alcohol he consumed after the game. John Horrocks, having had enough excitement for one day, abandoned his pint, and promptly fell asleep in the corner of the pub. His rucksack was not prepared to comment.
