Shot Of The Day
Another Chelsea attack is foiled by George Tweedy in the Grimsby Town goal at Stamford Bridge on 4th March 1939. Chelsea are hot favourites to win the F.A. Cup 6th Round Tie, but the ‘great unpredictables’ lose 1-0.

@MarinersArchive thought you might like to see this. It was my Dads who was the brother of Ken Jenkin who played as a winger for the club in the 50's.

For anyone who prefers reading to doing jigsaws, there's a new Town book in the club shop today.
A 150 page A4 sized book for just £9.99 will cheer up even the most miserable of Town fans at Christmas time!
It'a very limited edition BTW. @onthisGTFCday @codalmighty
