In this midweek episode, we sit down with Ben Chapman for an honest, detailed and long‑awaited look back at his short but unforgettable Grimsby Town career — a spell that included two of the most iconic fixtures in modern Mariners history.

Ben relives:

• Playing at Anfield as Town faced League Cup holders Liverpool in their first defence of the trophy

• A memorable trip to Arsenal

• Life inside the Mariners dressing room during a turbulent but thrilling era

And in a genuine exclusive, Ben finally breaks his silence on the tackle that resulted in a serious injury to a Scunthorpe United player — giving his side of the story for the very first time after years of staying quiet, even amid public criticism from figures such as Brian Laws.

Ben also reflects on:

• His journey through non‑league football

• His time at Boston United, where he became club captain and found a home he loved

• The realities, pressures and joys of a career spent across the English football pyramid

This is a candid, insightful and hugely engaging conversation with a player who lived the highs and lows of the game — and one who still holds a special place in Mariners folklore.

A must‑watch and must‑listen for every Grimsby Town fan. UTM.

Grimsby Town are still alive in the League Two playoff race — and this week’s episode has absolutely everything.

After Tuesday’s disappointment at Chesterfield, the Mariners roared back with a 4–1 demolition of Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium, a statement win that keeps the season very much alive. Cook, Kabia, Green and Vernam all hit the net, with Kabia’s strike taking him to 20 goals for the season (15 in the EFL).

In this episode we break down:

• The reaction from Chesterfield to Gillingham — what changed, what clicked, and why Town looked reborn

• The ridiculously tight League Two table at both ends

• The playoff maths, the pressure, and the belief still running through Blundell Park

• The latest GTFC news, stories and talking points from around the club

We’re also joined by Faroe Islands journalist Siggi Einarsson, who gives us the Faroese perspective on Geza Turi’s development, his impact, and how he’s viewed back home. A proper deep dive you won’t hear anywhere else.

Plus:

• Our weekly predictions review

• The mood around Blundell Park

• The narrative heading into the final stretch

If you’re a Mariners fan, a League Two watcher, or just love proper football chat with insight, humour and folklore — this is one you’ll want to watch or listen to right through.
