Grimsby captain Luke Waterfall eyeing Brighton upset with Wembley FA Cup "dream" in sight

Grimsby have never been a big fish in Europe - apart from the cod war with Iceland 50 years ago.

But when Mariners captain Luke Waterfall leads another coastal skirmish at Brighton in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, the 250-1 outsiders won't be worrying if the depleted fleet of trawlers are bringing home haddock or cod in the back of the net.

For those unfamiliar with local house rules: In Grimsby, haddock is the preferred dish of the day. Cod is for the cat or peasants across the Humber.
