The guys return with another bonus pre-season interview and this time they are joined by the dulcet tones of former Grimsby striker Martin Gritton. As articulated and eloquent as ever, “Gritts” as he is affectionately known, talks hosts Chris and Adam back through his 14 year journeyman career, beginning with his more unusual route into the professional game. They then discuss his move from Torquay up to Grimsby on Christmas Eve of 2004 and reminisce about his time living in the area and playing in an exciting Russell Slade side that nearly achieved promotion a year later. Which player was he anxious to be re-acquainted with and who did he enjoy playing alongside the most? The guys then ask Martin about his career post Grimsby (including his move to local rivals Lincoln), what he does for a living today and his love for music, perhaps inspired by his brother Kevin– the drummer in 90’s rock band Adorable. And, most importantly of all, we find out what his Grimsby inspired Indie band would have been called!
Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with co-host Adam Howard and special guest Martin Gritton.
