“Bradford Slitty 1 - 1 Grimsby Town

A remarkable game which after some early striling deensive work by Slitty making Grimsby sweat for their opening TD in the first half, disaster struck.

Bradford were seeking the equaliser after a good move when Des Hamilton raced with the ball for the TD line...just as he was about to cross he stumbled, fell and DIED!. Apoth fail. Ball bounced kindly for Grimsby to recover. They block the nearest Bradford player, blitzer David Weatherall, and down he goes DEAD!

Two players dead in virtually approximately three actions...Bradford were on the backfoot all of a sudden. With about 6or 7 players on the field they looked down and out...morale was crumbling fast. Grimsby played keepies on their own TD line, and they were running the clock down.

The huge crowd (well pythrr is rather fat these days isn't he!) stated o leave teh stadium thinking the game was up....BUT they missed the grande finale.

Grimsby had a collective rush of greed and wanted a second...they started to spread out and teh ball carrier rushed forward to hand off the ball. It failed, Bradford saw a slim chance (well slimmer than pythrr anyway) and raced forth, blitzed one of the two TZ's out of the way picked the ball up and scored!!

A famous draw...but with a heavy price attached. The relegation battle starts here!”
