Sky Sports is launching a survey to find the best player ever to wear a Grimsby Town shirt - and we would like you to get involved. We are asking fans of each of the 92 English League teams and 12 Scottish Premier League sides to nominate their all-time favourite footballers. Clive Mendonca scored 61 goals for the Mariners in a five-year spell and is regarded as their best striker in recent seasons, but was he the greatest player ever? John McDermott made a club record 647 appearances and was always a model professional, prompting campaigns from the club to get him awarded an MBE, was he your greatest-ever Mariner? It is impossible to explain the effect Ivano Bonetti had in his 19 appearances. Offering to pay half of his transfer fee himself, the Italian was an instant cult hero at the club. Brian Laws threw a plate of chicken at Bonetti which fractured his cheekbone and resulted in him leaving the club. Did he have enough of an effect on the club to be heralded as their greatest-ever player? But remember, if you disagree with our choices, or we've missed someone off, then vote for them below! To make your selection please complete the form below and tell us why you are putting your chosen nominee forward. Once we have received all your nominations, we will narrow down the selections for each side to the leading 10 candidates. You can then vote for your personal favourite. After all votes are cast we will reveal the winners ahead of the 2009/10 season and crown Grimsby Town's greatest-ever player!
