One of the nicest men in football is stepping down from his role.
Dave Smith, commercial manager at Grimsby Town FC, played for the Mariners in one of the club’s most successful post-war spells, spending more than four seasons of his 17-year professional playing career at Blundell Park, before taking on the income-driving role.
He has now clocked up almost 20-years on the off-field side, having returned to the Mariners after ending his career with Swansea.
