THE EPISODE YOU CANNOT MISS – THIS IS ABSOLUTE MARINERS GOLD

A decade from now, when people talk about the greatest nights in Grimsby Town history, they’ll talk about these games… and this man. And in Part Two of our exclusive Luke Waterfall interview, we go right into the heart of the madness.

If Part One charted his journey to becoming a Mariners hero, Part Two is where the legend is forged.

This episode is a must‑not‑miss, essential listening for every GTFC supporter — the kind of football storytelling that hits you right in the chest and reminds you exactly why you love this club.

We pick up the story at the moment Grimsby Town clinched their play‑off place… and then we dive head‑first into the most outrageous, emotional, impossible run the National League has ever seen:

• Notts County 1–2 Grimsby Town The first miracle. The first last‑gasp equaliser. The first last‑gasp winner. Luke takes us inside the chaos, the belief, the noise, and the moment the Mariners realised something special was happening.

• Wrexham 4–5 Grimsby Town (AET) The game that defies logic. The game that drains your soul and fills it back up again. Luke relives every twist, every punch of adrenaline, every moment where the tank was empty but the heart wasn’t. And yes — the match‑winning header. The moment he became immortal.

• The Final The last hurdle before destiny. The final push. The final chapter of the play‑off trilogy… And the perfect setup for what comes next.

This episode ends with the door wide open for the next instalment — The History Makers: The FA Cup Story. The run that captured the nation. The run that made the Mariners headline news. The run that turned belief into folklore.

Because Luke Waterfall doesn’t just tell the story — he lived it, he led it, and he delivered it. This is raw, honest, emotional, hilarious, unbelievable football storytelling from a man who gave everything for the black and white shirt.

If you’re a Grimsby Town fan, this isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a time machine back to the greatest ride of your footballing life.

Unmissable. Unforgettable. Absolute Mariners Gold.

3 FISH on the SHIRT – Season 2, Episode 51

LUKE WATERFALL SPECIAL (PART ONE) A MUST LISTEN FOR EVERY MARINER

Luke Waterfall sits down with us for an unmissable deep‑dive into one of the most remarkable careers in modern lower‑league football — and Part One is absolutely packed. We trace Luke’s journey from his early days in South Yorkshire, coming through the youth system at Barnsley, before carving out a senior career the hard way at: Tranmere Rovers Altrincham Ilkeston Town Gainsborough Trinity Scunthorpe United (short spell… forgiven!) Macclesfield Town Mansfield Town Wrexham From there, Luke’s career takes off — with major success at Lincoln City, a strong spell at Shrewsbury Town, and then the move that changed everything… The Mighty Mariners.

Part One covers Luke’s entire Grimsby Town story up to the 2022 National League Play-Offs — the Jolley era, the rebuild, the chaos, the leadership, the dressing-room moments, the setbacks, the resurgence, and the full, wild, emotional rollercoaster that only GTFC can provide.

Luke is open, honest, funny, and absolutely compelling throughout. If you’re a Town fan, this is essential viewing. If you love football stories, this is gold. And trust us — once you finish Part One, you’ll be desperate for Part Two.

Watch it. Listen to it. Don’t miss it. UTM.

A landmark episode. A landmark week. Two Grimsby Town performances that felt like the club planting a flag in the turf and daring League Two to look away.

This season's 50th instalment of 3 FISH on the SHIRT breaks down a pair of matches that will live long in the memory, the kind supporters talk about years later, with that unmistakable mix of pride, disbelief and “I was there”.

We start at the Abbey Stadium, where high‑flying Cambridge United were dragged into a trench battle by a Grimsby side refusing to bow to anyone. A late, ice‑cold finish from Cam McJannet, struck with the conviction of a man who simply knew, sealed a 2–1 away win that felt like a statement of intent.

But if Cambridge was the statement, Blundell Park delivered the exclamation mark.

Against playoff rivals Swindon Town — and with the pantomime villain himself, Ian “Runaway” Holloway, back in the building, The Mariners produced a 4–0 demolition that will be spoken about in the same breath as the great home performances of the modern era. Jaze Kabia delivered the kind of folklore‑ready moment that defines seasons: a perfect hat‑trick (left foot, right foot, header), each finish more ruthless than the last. And then came Maldini Kacurri, rising like a centre‑half carved from marble to thunder home a header that shook the old ground.

This wasn’t just a win. It was a statement of identity, aggressive, fearless, unapologetically Grimsby Town.

Across the episode, we break down:

• Tactical shifts that unlocked both victories

• Kabia’s emergence as a genuine match‑winner

• Why McJannet’s late strike matters more than just three points

• The Holloway subplot — and why BP’s reaction still echoes

• What these results mean for the run‑in, the table, and the belief around the club

If you care about Grimsby Town, missing this episode isn’t an option. Not watching the highlights? Unthinkable. Not listening to this breakdown? Borderline irresponsible.

This is one of the best home league performances at Blundell Park in years, wrapped inside a milestone episode of the podcast that tells the story the way only Mariners can.

Season Two, Episode 50. A celebration. A turning point. A must‑listen.

UP THE MARINERS!!
