League position: 13th Unused substitutes: Chris Bolder, John McDermott and Michael Edwards This was Grimsby Town's heaviest defeat since they lost 8-0 at Arsenal on 1 May 1948. The Gunners ran up their 'cricket score' with the help of two goals from legendary England batsman Dennis Compton to clinch their sixth Football League Championship title. The game also remains as Grimsby Town's most recent in top flight football.
