About this listen
In this midweek episode, we sit down with Ben Chapman for an honest, detailed and long‑awaited look back at his short but unforgettable Grimsby Town career — a spell that included two of the most iconic fixtures in modern Mariners history.
Ben relives:
-
Playing at Anfield as Town faced League Cup holders Liverpool in their first defence of the trophy
-
A memorable trip to Arsenal
-
Life inside the Mariners dressing room during a turbulent but thrilling era
And in a genuine exclusive, Ben finally breaks his silence on the tackle that resulted in a serious injury to a Scunthorpe United player — giving his side of the story for the very first time after years of staying quiet, even amid public criticism from figures such as Brian Laws.
Ben also reflects on:
-
His journey through non‑league football
-
His time at Boston United, where he became club captain and found a home he loved
-
The realities, pressures and joys of a career spent across the English football pyramid
This is a candid, insightful and hugely engaging conversation with a player who lived the highs and lows of the game — and one who still holds a special place in Mariners folklore.
A must‑watch and must‑listen for every Grimsby Town fan. UTM.
