They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'

Marine U7s 2, Fleetwood Juniors U7s 1
THE Gaffer put the jinx on our Jack. Moments after she made her 2008 debut on the touchline (together with her fairweather friends Emily and Paddy), Jack was substituted. Thankfully, he came back on a few minutes later to bolster...

Marine U7s 2, Croxteth Park Reds U7s 0
THE Man of Match trophy takes centre stage on the mantlepiece of Harvey House. Jack was brilliant. Rock solid. We celebrated with a McDonalds breakfast before scurrying home to show everyone the trophy. As The Gaffer clattered her way into...

Counterline Sponsor New Hooded Tops
THE boys were presented with their new hooded training tops before Saturday's game courtesy of Counterline. And, they put on a dazzling show for company director Tim Flood by rattling in seven goals. Still no joy for Jack though and...

Marine U7s 2, Fleetwood U7s 0
AFTER a full year of junior league football during which his teammates have clocked up around 100 goals, Jack is the only player not to have found the back of the net. Actually, forget a bulging 'onion bag,' he'd be...

Wind Powers Marine To Victory
EINSTEIN might argue that the wind blows twice as hard when you're only seven. It's all a question of relativity. When the wind blows from end to end, you can expect a game of two halves... Even the biggest clearances...

Marine 0, Croxteth Park Whites 1
Marine U7s 0, Croxteth Park Whites U7s 1 THE young Mariners lost nothing in defeat with a battling performance in this top of the table clash with Croxteth Park Whites. The first half was a superb advert for junior football; it...

Marine 8, Indanet 0
Marine U7s 8, Indanet U7s 0 THE young Mariners maintained their good form with a comfortable victory against an inexperienced Indanet team. From the first whistle Marine dominated proceedings but despite all of the possession they struggled to find a...

Match of the Season?
TWO teams boasting some stars of tomorrow gave spectators a thrilling display of junior football which would have had John Motson reaching for his book of superlatives. It was a game which could have swung either way in the second...

The Tooth is Out There...
JACK is skipper for Marine tomorrow, after his MOM performance last week. Thankfully, his two front teeth which have been hanging by a thread for days have finally fallen out, making him look less like Ronaldinho. He now reminds...

Big Bad Dad...Again!!!
YOU may remember I badly let down Jack on that not-so-glorious night in May when he was keen to watch the Champions League final with me. A dad and lad night. His horrible dad was keen to get boozed up...

When The Going Gets Tough...
JACK was a bit shell-shocked after coming up against Croxteth Park Reds a few weeks ago. The Reds are a good side. An excellent side, in fact. Three or four of the lads are among the best Jack's played against,...

Seven Up for Mariners
LITTLE to do for Jack in central defence in his latest game. He complained that he only touched the ball three times. I said Jamie Carragher dreams of only having to make three clearances. As autumn sets in, there will...
