Story
We are in touch with Bobby Cumming about the possibility of him flying over from his home in America to Grimsby so that he can attend the 1979/80 Champions Book launch dinner on April 9th. Bobby is many people's favorite player from that era and a key figure in the success of the team. He played 365 times for the Mariners and although the word "legend" is often overused he certainly fits into that category for all Grimsby Town fans who saw him play.
He is very keen to attend but cannot afford all of the costs associated with the trip and also wants to bring his wife which is quite understandable. Let's show Bobby how much we want him to come over and make this happen! UTMM

4 years agoDue to the Coronavirus we have postponed the dinner until later in the year. We still plan to get Bobby over for that and indeed he is still very keen to come. Hopefully those who have donated will be happy to wait but given this news if you would like a refund just e-mail us enquiries@marinerstrust.co.uk. Thank you.

I used to get Bobby Cummings autograph every week from the Ritz cafe when I was a kid! He never ever refused, top bloke.
