Grimsby Town defender Ben Davies has talked about his time at Notts County under the Munto regime as the Mariners travel to Meadow Lane for a League Two meeting.
The midfielder-turned-defender spent a year-and-a-half at NG2, during which he helped the Magpies to the fourth-tier title as a culmination of a rollercoaster period under the "ownership" of the shady entity.
“I’ve got nothing but happy memories there,” Davies told the Grimsby Telegraph.
“Obviously going there with Sven and all the hype that was around the place, the 18 months I spent there was just a constant high really.
“There was a lot of money pumped into the club at that time, and we had the likes of Kasper (Schmeichel), Lee Hughes and Sol Campbell – the team was too good for the league really, and we won a lot of games 3, 4 or 5-0.
“It was nice to get the promotion, and be playing with some of the best players I’ve played with over my career.
“Sven was absolutely brilliant. He was at training every day, he was at every game, and he was really hands-on with it all.
“He made it a really relaxed atmosphere, and obviously winning most weeks brings that as well.
On Campbell’s time at Meadow Lane, Davies added: “He came and he was there for about eight weeks trying to get fit.
“He got fit, and then he trained for about three weeks with us, and you could just tell how good he was then.
“He played a couple of games and then got injured again. I think he was getting frustrated at that time, and we were winning games.
“But even with him being there for just three or four months, you learned so much off him with his professionalism and the way he went about things, and obviously with Kasper as well the professionalism was taken to a new level.
“The way things were done, it was like a Premier League club - it was just unfortunate really that they couldn’t carry it on.
“Obviously it will be nice to go back there and see everyone, but we’ll be desperate to get the win.”

Head to head
Notts County and Grimsby Town have met a total of 80 times over the years.
The first fixture came on 5 October 1893. Notts won the Division Two clash 2-0 at Trent Bridge.
The Magpies have 27 wins, while the Mariners have 33, and 20 games have been drawn.
Our last meeting was in League Two last season at Blundell Park on 21 January, and the Mariners won 2-0.
Stats
Notts County are winless in their last four home league meetings with Grimsby, although three these matches have been drawn (L1).
The Mariners have lost just one of their last five EFL encounters with the Magpies (W2 D2), conceding just four goals.
Jorge Grant has been directly involved in seven goals in his last six League Two outings (4 goals, 3 assists).
Grimsby are the only side yet to lose a single point from a winning position in League Two this season.
History
Grimsby Town FC was formed in 1878 after a meeting held at the Wellington Arms public house in Freeman Street, Grimsby.
Several attendees included members of the local Worsley Cricket Club who wanted to form a football club to occupy the empty winter evenings after the cricket season had finished
The club was originally called Grimsby Pelham, this being the family name of the Earl of Yarborough, a significant landowner in the area.
In 1880 the club purchased land at Clee Park which was to become their ground until 1889 when they relocated to Abbey Park, before moving again in 1899 to their present home, Blundell Park.
The club is the most successful of the three professional league clubs in historic Lincolnshire, being the only one to play top-flight football. It is also the only club of the three to reach an FA Cup semi-final (doing so on two occasions) and is the only one to succeed in two finals at the old Wembley Stadium. It has also spent more time in the English game's first and second tiers than any other club from Lincolnshire.
Notable managers include Bill Shankly, who went on to guide Liverpool to three League titles, two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup triumph and Lawrie McMenemy who, after securing promotion to the then third division in 1972, moved to Southampton where he won the FA Cup in 1976.
Alan Buckley is the club's most successful manager; he had three spells as team manager between 1988 and 2008, guiding the club to three promotions and two appearances at Wembley Stadium during the 1997–98 season winning both the Football League Trophy and the Football League Second Division Play-Off Final.
In 2008 Buckley took Grimsby to the capital again, but lost out to MK Dons in the final of the Football League Trophy.
The Mariners had also reached the Football League Two Play-Off final in 2006 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, but lost the match 1–0 to Cheltenham Town.
Later trips to the Wembley in 2013 and 2016 saw them defeated in the FA Trophy final by Wrexham and FC Halifax Town respectively.
Grimsby managed to reach the Conference play-off final in both 2015 and 2016, after losing to Bristol Rovers they defeated Forest Green Rovers to earn promotion back to the Football League.
Initial relegation from back in 2010 made them the fourth club to compete in all top five divisions of English football (after Carlisle United, Oxford United, and Luton Town).
Team news
Aside from the long-term injuries, Kevin Nolan has no fresh worries ahead of Saturday's game and is likely to stick with the majority of the players that started in the draw with Luton.
Grimsby boss Russell Slade hopes to have James Berrett available - the midfielder was passed fit to face Forest Green last week but broke down in the warm-up.

What a transformation 2017 has been for Notts County. Ever since the arrival of Alan Hardy and Kevin Nolan, things have just been an amazing whirlwind.
After last season’s terrible drama, both on and off the pitch, I would have been happy enough for just a mediocre campaign for once.
However, this being Notts, things are never going to be dull are they?
This said now that we have enjoyed what can only be described as a very successful 2017-18 League Two season so far, I really don’t want it to change.
The club’s takeover has revived a new lease of life into the Magpies and on the field everything seems to going from strength to strength – it’s really hard to see how anything could actually change.
And even the optimism of the fact the club only requires a few key areas to be strengthened in the January transfer window, shows the amazing turn around, as usually we the fans do eye up improvements across the field.
It’s the little things which I feel have gone the furthest with Notts, a sensible manager at the helm, a chairman who believes the club can move forward without shortcuts and players so ingrained and in tune with the core heartbeat of the football club.
Honestly, I feel there’s a large element to the success of this season coming from the fact the players enjoy performing under the environment created and are thriving thanks to the extra support given by the fans during what seems to be an incredible run.
I feel there’s a lot of ambition around the club, which really does add to the solid foundations trying to be created – when Hardy spoke ‘a new era’ last season he really meant it.
There’s a noticeable increase within the supporters’ base, something which I noticed quite early and as I have written before home games feel very special when attending – almost like we realise that the club is on the verge of something vastly different to prior campaigns.
I would even praise how things have been increased within the club's marketing department, as the income generated within this area will naturally increase what we can spend and what further improvements can be made.
Honestly, I hope the fans that haven’t been able to attend games – look at this season and try to get down to Meadow Lane when possible.
The additional support is something I consider to be paramount, and during the difficult seasons I really found it difficult when I noticed friends and Notts fans becoming ever more absent.
Thankfully I have seen many return and you can’t blame people for not being there, yet I would urge any support – as the club is doing themselves.
Hardy’s desire to personally hand sign all of the Christmas cards sent out to season ticket holders was a nice thought.
A gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by me or my family, in fact my youngest daughter who has always loved the club from birth actually kept singing ‘I had a wheelbarrow’ and of course saying how much she enjoys being part of this fanbase.
It makes a positive difference doesn’t it? So, lets continue delivering the fantastic support build up in 2017 and emerge a much stronger community based football club in 2018 where hopefully we will be able to do something extra special on the field, and put further implementations to continue the club's fantastic start under Nolan and Hardy. You Pies!

Carl Dickinson has admitted that he truly feels Notts County will achieve promotion this season.
The Magpies currently sit second in League Two on 42 points, level with top-placed Luton Town who boast a huge +30 goal difference.
In addition, Notts have successfully overcome blips over the course of the season and remain as focused and sharp as ever going into the festive period.
“I was talking to my wife the other day and we were discussing the way things are going,” Dickinson told the Nottingham Post.
“She said ‘what do you think?’. And I just said I know it’s going to happen.
“I compare it to when I got promoted with Stoke (in 2007-08). That dressing room was the best I’ve been in.
“But this one is so close to it that’s it’s frightening. I just have this massive feeling it is going to be our year. It’s up to us to do it, but I feel it’s going to happen.”

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County must maintain their high standards from last week's 1-1 draw at Luton Town going into Saturday's encounter with Grimsby Town.
Many had tipped the Hatters to derail the Magpies' charge at Kenilworth Road but the visitors emerged with a share of the spoils which keeps them level on points with the League Two leaders.
Up next is a game with the Mariners at Meadow Lane and Nolan insists the momentum - and the impressive home form - must continue.
"There is no point in going to Luton, getting a point and then putting in a shabby performance this weekend," he told the official Notts site.
"We have to follow it up and our standards have to stay as high as they were last Saturday. If they are, we will have a fantastic opportunity to get the three points.
"The home record we have is something I will look back on in my later years and have great pride in.
"It's been a fantastic year since I came in and I have been delighted with the response I have got from the boys and the work that has gone on both on and off the field.
"We have a massive 2018 coming up. We have to maintain things and not sit back and think 'We've got there.' We are always looking for extra little bits to help us better ourselves."

Notts County have successfully navigated the crunch clash with Luton Town last weekend, now we're back at Meadow Lane this weekend as we take on Grimsby Town.
The Mariners have enjoyed a decent enough season so far, sitting 11th in the table with nine wins, five draws and seven defeats.
Pride of Nottingham spoke to Grimsby fan Steve to get an insight on the opposition.
About Steve: Been a fan since the 90s and my favourite player of all time is John McDermott.
1) Grimsby spent six years in the non-league before coming back up. What led to your drop into the Conference and how did you eventually climb back up?
Financial problems at the start of the 2000s were the beginning of the rot, we plummeted down the leagues, and then in 2009-10 several disastrous decisions - giving our youth team coach the permanent job, moving Barry Conlon on - saw us down into non-league, which is a notoriously difficult league to get out of.
2) Blundell Park is famously situated in Cleethorpes rather than Grimsby. Is this something that fans currently talk/moan about or is it no big deal?
Not really. The name Grimsby Town goes back to the 19th century and the move to Blundell Park was made on the turn of the century, so it's just how it's always been.
3) There was some uproar from a number of Grimbarians about that Sacha Baron Cohen film named after your town when it came out. What was the general consensus from Mariners fans about it?
Opinions were split fairly even to be fair. Some people were offended at being depicted as typical "Northern" (in the Southerner definition of the word ie North of the Watford Gap) slobs, others were annoyed the town barely featured, but me and a lot of others just thought it was a laugh (not as good as his other films though) and kind of basked in the limelight for a bit.
4) Thomas Turgoose, the actor who made a name for himself in Nottingham-filmed This Is England, is a big Grimsby fan. Have you or any of your friends ever met him and what's he like in terms of supporting the club?
Can't say I do I'm afraid, but I'm a big fan of TIE - the film and the shows - proper telly (or cinema), maybe Cohen could have a word of two with Shane Meadows!
5) Who are your biggest rivals and, if a different team, who have been your most recent rivals?
Hull City are our main rivals but we haven't met in competitive games, cup or league, since the 1990s. More recently it's been Lincoln City, we've battled plenty of times in league (and non-league) so it's good to see them back.
6) Who are your team's danger men? And what do you think the score/scorers will be?
Luke Summerfield is a creative midfielder who likes to get forward and is very direct, he'll be a threat. Sam Jones is also going to be a handful - he's a striker who's really good at ghosting  inbehind the opposition defence. And I think it'll end 1-1, Jones to get our goal.

What's been happening in League Two over the last week?
Here is Pride of Nottingham's round-up of the biggest League Two news from the last seven days.

- Yeovil Town "categorically denied" rumours of a proposed takeover by a consortium of business leaders from the area. A statement said: "The sale of the club is not currently part of Insight's remit or the intentions of YTFC's majority shareholders."
- Lincoln City striker Matt Rhead signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until June 2019. The 33-year-old joined the Imps from Mansfield in 2015 and has 38 goals from 102 league games in his time at Sincil Bank.

Notts County chairman Alan Hardy has tipped Kevin Nolan to become manager of England in the future.
The former Leyton Orient boss has seen his stock rise since arriving at Meadow Lane a year ago, leaving the Magpies out of relegation trouble by the end of the 2016-17 season.
Since then, Notts have risen to second place in League Two on goal difference, having held top spot on several occasions, and have the best home record outside of the Premier League in 2017.
Nolan also scooped the manager of the month award for September and won another nomination for Notts’ results in November.
“I’ve often spoken of my admiration for Kevin as both a person and a manager,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
"What he has done here, in such a short space of time, has been nothing short of remarkable.
“What he and the players have achieved has surpassed all of our expectations and the progress has been remarkable.
“I’ve no doubt in my mind that Kevin will go on to manage at the elite level and I am certain that he will go on to manage England at some point.
“I just think he has all the tools you need both in his ability to motivate players, the uncanny knack he has of understanding them and being able to relate to them.

Alan Hardy has revealed his hopes of having a new training ground for Notts County ready by January 2019.
The Magpies owner is currently in negotiations with three parties over the potential site of the state-of-the-art facility and wants the plans firmly in place by next year.
Notts currently train at Basford United's ground as part of an agreement between the two clubs, having previously been based in Ruddington and Arnold.
“Negotiations will continue with three parties regarding location this week because, for the first time ever, I want this club to have its own dedicated facility by January 1, 2019,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
“We have three options available to us that I am very carefully considering. Each is very exciting in different ways. Each has its own strengths and my job is to select the right one that builds a legacy for the future.
“This club needs and deserves its own high performance training facility which delivers the very best that we can provide with resources available to us.
“I’ve recently spent time at both Tottenham and Manchester City’s new facilities and while we can’t afford the enormous university style campus they have created, I have taken lots of ideas and styles from them both which has assisted me greatly.
“This is an integral part of the blueprint I’m creating and will be our springboard for the future... going to the next level is hugely exciting and 2018 will hopefully see its realization."

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan, assistant Richard Thomas and coach Mark Crossley observed a Nottingham Panthers training session today and sat down for a chat with head coach Corey Neilson.
The Nottingham Post reports that Thomas had been keen to take in a Panthers practice after coming to watch a game with Crossley earlier this season.
Neilson, Nolan and the Notts coaches spoke at length about coaching methods, similarities between ice hockey and footbal, and more.
“I had a nice chat to them. We spoke for about an hour in my office after the training session,” Neilson told the Post.
“We spoke about the two sports and where they overlap when it comes to philosophies and tactics, just coaching stuff really.
“It was fun. They have great minds and some really great questions.
“It’s always good to share ideas and you’re foolish if you aren’t learning all the time in this business. You can learn from anyone.
“It’s not just about your sport. You can learn from all sports and they had good insights on things like motivation, training and recovery.”

Alan Hardy has hailed Notts County's "meteoric" rise over 2017 and describes their progress as "unbelievable... even by our own expectations."
This time last year the Magpies were freefalling towards the bottom of League Two as a losing run which eventually culminated to 10 games threatened the future of the club.
However, Hardy's takeover of the club in January and subsequent business decisions led to steady progress which has led the club up to second in the table and a feelgood vibe around Meadow Lane.
“To be competing against joint-top of the league is unbelievable progress even by our own expectations,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
“It’s been meteoric over the last 10 months and it’s been truly wonderful to witness as we have already created some great memories.
“The players are rising to the challenges before them and when you talk to them around the club you can just feel the confidence is getting greater.
“You can feel their energy and it’s absolutely brilliant to see.”

Although FC Barcelona have turned it into their motto, the truth is every single football club out there is "more than a club". It's a pillar of the community, it brings together people of all walks of life, it instils pride in an area's culture and heritage, and so much more.
Notts County Football Club go a step further by giving back to the community, both local and global, with the help of Notts County FC Football in the Community.
A lot of Notts fans may be vaguely aware of FITC but know little more about what they truly do, so Pride of Nottingham will cast the spotlight on them and their work.
In 1989, Notts County FC founded the "Notts County FC Community Programme". This was set up by Footballers' Further Education and Vocational Training Scheme (FFE+VTS), which was a welfare scheme operated by the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) for its members.
The NCFC Community Programme had the following aims:
- Encourage more people especially children to play football
- Provide training, leading to employment
- Promote closer community links with professional football clubs
- Encourage more people especially children to watch live professional matches
- Maximise the use of facilities at professional football grounds
Such was its success that it gained a National Award for Training Programme in 1994 and, six years later, gained charity status, became independent and former a board of trustees to become the Football In The Community charity it is today.
With over 35 projects that cover all 20 city wards, FITC have enriched, empowered and encouraged hundreds of thousands of people across Nottingham over the last 28 years, and have been recognised for their great work with multiple awards, including the illustrious "Professional Club Community Programme of the Year" at the 2016 Sport & Recreation Awards.
As of 2017 FITC continue to serve the community with the same passion and commitment they were founded with, focusing on 6 key areas of work (as displayed on their badge):
- Social Inclusion
- Health
- Education
- Sports Participation
- National Citizens Service (NCS)
- Fundraising
Although working alongside Notts County FC, FITC is an independent charity which raises all its own funding, so it's essential for fans to get behind it and continue the great work they're doing in Nottingham.
FITC recently held an event at West Bridgford's Poppy & Pint in which Notts legend Les Bradd talked about his illustrious career and it was enjoyed by all who came.
And plenty more events are in the pipeline, such as the Inflatable 5k Nottingham (July 14)  the Peak District TrekFest challenge (September 1), Robin Hood Marathon (September 30) and the CEO sleepout (October 11).

FITC Media Officer Leighton T James said of working alongside Pride of Nottingham: "I find your articles and content insightful, humorous and strikes a cord with a very passionate and family friendly audience.
"The tide is changing in the way football fans engage with the media.
"When I was a child I remember visiting Sixfields Stadium, home of Northampton Town and my dad buying 'The Hotel End' fanzine and chucking to himself at the illustrations and articles written by cobblers fans.
"Now, that has changed with the rise of social media and fan channels like Arsenal Fan TV. We are very happy to associate ourselves with fan site like PON."
We at Pride of Nottingham are delighted to be working alongside Notts County FC Football in the Community and will do our very best to ensure it gets the spotlight it deserves.

Shola Ameobi has played down the significance of Notts County's 1-1 draw with Luton Town but insists that the Magpies could still be in the hunt for automatic promotion at the end of the season if they keep up the level shown at Kenilworth Road.
Notts are still second in the table on goal difference, level on points with the impressive Hatters following the draw in Bedfordshire, in which Ameobi scored to cancel out Johnny Mullins's opener.
Although there are still 25 games to go, the former Newcastle United striker says the team is enjoying the way things are at present and feels they can get a result at top teams, a 180 degree switch from how things were just last year.
“We are not getting ahead of ourselves,” Ameobi told the Nottingham Post.
“There is a long, long way to go yet. From where we were when I first came in, to where we are now shows we’ve done a tremendous job.
“We are enjoying it. We went to Luton determined to get the win and that shows the mentality that has changed over the last few months.
“We’ve gone to the top teams thinking we can get a result. That’s very positive for us going forward and if we can keep this level there’s no reason why we can’t be up there at the end of the season.”

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County's fans for their continued "brilliant" support of the club and urged them to keep it up going into the busy festive period.
The Magpies emerged from last weekend's crunch League Two clash with Luton Town with a point in a 1-1 draw, watched by 810 members of the Black and White Army.
Up next for Notts are back-to-back home games against Grimsby Town and Cambridge United and Nolan paid tribute to the fanbase for their raucous support.
“The fans were absolutely brilliant at Luton and I keep alluding to them because they’ve been fantastic,” he told the Nottingham Post.
“It’s important they get behind us for the next two home games because teams are going to come and respect us.
“We are going to have to be patient, and we need them to keep behind us and keep singing their hearts out like they did on Saturday.
“It doesn’t half buoy the lads and get them up for it.”
