I was there too. Against a brilliant Everton side who later became champions of England and Euro Cup winners cup.

What a steal that was for your team, we battered you for 89 minutes and couldn't put it away, great goal, by Paul Wilkinson. We were reminded of it again last night when we let Newcastle put two past us in the last two minutes, it's what being a Evertonian is all about!

[@chazs001]

I was there that night we had 99.9 percent of the ball and could not score then the ball goes up the other end in the last minute and the ball was in the net! Amazing, fair play to Grimsby they done what they did and it worked no complaints, well done Grimsby that night 30 odd years ago.

[@Chigleybus]

Absolutely, what a night. I remember about a hundred chances for us and one for Grimsby. At least the goalscorer that night got the winner for us against the Reds the following season. Mind you, we are doomed never to win the League Cup, just gone out to Southampton on pens! 33 years on, plus ca change as they say...

[@Chigleybus]

My mistake, Wilko got winner at the end of the same season, think we signed him in March '85.

@andrew chambers In 1981 Gordon Lee was sacked by Everton

I was wet through. jeans town top and trainers. but who cared we had done Everton on their own turf and it was fantastic. utm

[@59thJackk]

I have just found the programme in an old cupboard. It brings back the memories. I have never before or since seen a more one sided game. Everton absolutely battered us and Just when we were hoping to hang on for a draw ......up pops Wilko with the winner. Oh what celebrations oh what a night.

[@scherben8870]

00:26 and 02:16 = top gooning. I love sights like that.

[@roywinstanley9402]

We bought Paul Wilkinson shortly after that match winner.He had the unique honour of being the only player to ever score the winning goals against both Everton and Liverpool in the same season both at Goodison park 1-0 both matches.

I was the cameraman that night for GTFC with John Moore commentating.
