Bobby Gould game #
Grimsby Town 14th in Division Two | Coventry City 15th in Division One

A scrappy game, lacking class at a blustery Blundell Park, ends in a tame draw. Sam Allardyce and ex-Lincoln man Peake snuff out the much vaunted Kevin Drinkell. At the other end Gibson struggles against the big ex-Villa man Nicholl. City sign Wealdstone full-back Stuart Pearce.
