We’re delighted to welcome back Grimsby Town legend John Cockerill as our special guest for this Saturday’s opening league fixture against Exeter City.
The former midfielder made more than 100 appearances for the Mariners between 1988 and 1992 and played a key role in the Club’s successive promotions under Alan Buckley.
Cockerill’s most memorable moment in a Town shirt came against Exeter City in May 1991, when his two goals at Blundell Park secured a 2-1 victory and confirmed promotion to Division Two.
Following his playing career, Cockerill remained part of the Mariners set-up, working in a number of roles including Community Coach, Youth Coach, Reserve Team Manager, Caretaker Manager and Assistant Manager.
He will be joining our matchday host Scott Woodthorpe in McMenemy’s ahead of kick-off, where he’ll take part in a special Q&A and reflect on some of his favourite memories from his time with the Mariners.
Hospitality guests will also have the opportunity to meet and chat with John during the afternoon.
Want to join us in McMenemy’s and enjoy the full matchday hospitality experience? Packages are still available for Saturday – book your place here.
