To lead Men United and to kick off the 2013-14 Football League season, they are looking for an inspirational figurehead - the Football League's greatest captain.
Scunthorpe's greatest captain was nominated by Ross Gibson who stuck to his roots and chose his Grandad, Archie Gibson.
Archie was Captain of arguably the greatest SUFC team ever back in the early 60's.
The article below was written with a bit of help from Iron Bru poster 'Barrie Thomas', as Ross never got to see his Grandad in action.
What made your captain so great?
Archie Gibson, cultured footballer, led by example and stirred the team to great heights. These were golden times for The Iron, and Archie was the man pulling the strings from the middle of the pitch. He captained us during our most successful season ever (1961-1962), where we narrowly missed out on promotion to Division 1, finishing fourth in the old Division 2.
What was his defining moment?
The 6-2 demolition in 1961 of Blackpool in the FA Cup, a side which included Stan Matthews and Jimmy Armfield. We were brilliant that day, urged forward in the second half by Archie, with the legendary Barrie Thomas scoring three.
If he were a character in a famous movie, who would he be and why?
It would have to be James Bond. He led from the back and was never one to be flustered, no matter what was thrown in his or his team's way.
