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.

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

Not the greatest photo, but squint to see Ernie Brooks who played 3 times on the right wing for #GTFC in the 1919/20 season.
When I started there were 91 players since joining the League that we didn't have a photo of, now only 24 to go.
