Grundy scored twice but the match was abandoned due to a pitch invasion. He agreed to assist the club 'in times of need', these times never came however and returned to Huddersfield. After leaving the Terriers, he had a short spell back at Blackpool before he finished his career with a second spell at Northern Nomads.[2]
