Two of the Mariners’ most recognisable former players will be back at Blundell Park when Town welcome Fleetwood Town on Saturday 29th August, with Clive Mendonca and John Oster set to join us as Guests of Honour in McMenemy’s.
It promises to be a special matchday for supporters, with both players returning to their former home for the first time in this capacity.
Mendonca remains one of the most popular players of the modern era, having scored 60 goals in 166 appearances for the Mariners between 1992 and 1997. Renowned for his pace, movement and clinical finishing, ‘Super Clive’ played a key role during one of the most memorable periods in the Club’s history before earning a move to Charlton Athletic.
He would go on to enjoy further success at The Valley, famously scoring a hat-trick in the 1998 Division One Play-Off Final against Sunderland before converting his penalty in the subsequent shootout as Charlton secured promotion to the Premier League.
Oster, meanwhile, came through the Mariners’ youth system and established himself as one of the most exciting young talents at Blundell Park during the 1996/97 campaign. His performances earned him a £1.5 million move to Everton in 1997, breaking the Club’s record transfer fee at the time.
The midfielder went on to enjoy a lengthy career across the top two divisions of English football, representing the likes of Sunderland, Leeds United, Burnley, Reading, Crystal Palace and Doncaster Rovers, while also earning 13 caps for Wales.
Now, both will return to Blundell Park as part of what promises to be a memorable afternoon in McMenemy’s.
