Diary - Saturday 5 August 2006

5 August 2006

If any Grimsby Town player has made a more dramatic debut in my lifetime than Peter Bore then the Diary must be in serious need of a memory upgrade, as the 18-year-old winger's contribution against Boston this afternoon was as astonishing as it was decisive. Introduced to replace Luton's ineffective Michael Reddy with about 25 minutes to go, and a lethargic, uncreative Mariners side losing 2-0, Bore scored with his first touch. Isaiah Rankin moved from the right wing to the front to replace Reddy and suddenly looked capable of saving the world. The rest? Rankin, equaliser; Bore, winner; Beagrie, awesome; Diary, barely able to speak. Look out for Tony B's report tomorrow. I'm off to binge-drink myself into a celebratory coma!
