Special Edition Podcast: Padraig “Podge” Amond

The Mariners Season That Became Legend In this unmissable special edition podcast, we sit down with Padraig “Podge” Amond for an extended, candid, and passionate conversation about the journey that shaped his remarkable career. Part One, an hour long deep dive takes us from his early days in Ireland all the way to the 2015–2016 National League Playoff Final, where he cemented his place in Grimsby Town folklore.

It’s still hard to believe Podge only spent one season with the Mariners—because what a season it was. His football intelligence, honesty, and love for the game shine through as he reflects on the moments, mentors, and matches that defined him. If you’re a Grimsby Town fan, this is essential listening.

What’s Inside This Episode

• Playing under a pseudonym for Carlow so he could finish his hurling career in style

• The truth behind that crucial penalty at Braintree—what really happened in the buildup

• A behind the scenes look at promotion and what it meant to him, the squad, and the town

• Candid reflections on his career, his development, and why Grimsby remains such a defining chapter Podge speaks with the same passion he played with, open, thoughtful, and he uses his head (I'm sure he'll let Hursty know) it's full of brilliant stories that make this episode a must watch or must listen for anyone who loves football storytelling, or the Mariners.
