[TugWilson]

Could head a ball like a bullet from a gun , terrible shame .

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I remember seeing him score a few times against us at the Goldstone. Both for Arsenal and Notlob. Classy player with pace and a great eye for goal. Sad to see him go at souch a relatively young age.

How sad, seems way too young especially as i get older. Whenever i think of panini sticker collecting as a kid his name always springs to mind.

RIP Paul Mariner, was lucky enough to see him play for that great Ipswich team many times having lived there in the 70s/80s.Good old fashioned number 9 great with his back to goal and a decent header on him also.

POsted in the England kits thread yesterday about the 80-82 Admiral one, and when I hear the name Paul Mariner I always think of him in that. RIP Paul.

Bloody nora RIP

 

[Cheshire Cat]

One of the great non-scoring centre forwards England kept selecting (and Bob Latchford).

Regardless of how many goals he actually scored, that was how it felt at the time.

 

[trueblue]

Very sad. For some reason, he's one of the first players I remember when I think back to watching England as a kid.

 

[Weststander]

RIP. A quality striker, he deserved all those England caps.

Danny Welbeck is in good company then.
