Always enjoyed watching Paul play. Far too young to go.

100% player who never went missing in a game not like some of todays overpaid charlatans.
Quite a gent by all accounts.
Excellent for Ipswich. My abiding memory of him for England though is constantly getting up off the ground
Football has lost a good one.

Sad news, always remember
him with Billy Rafferty.

Sad to hear about this today, Paul was a very good centre forward who possessed a lot more skill than most of the big lumps at the time, part of Ipswichs' best ever team, him and Trevor Whymark had a great partnership, the generation after the World Cup winners starting to go now, RIP Paul.
sad news indeed thoughts go to family and friends RIP
Sad news and also a pity he didnt live to see England in the final tonight, I watched that Ipswich team many times as a boy, Mariner really good in the air, brave and always a threat, missed a sitter in the fa cup final but they won anyway! great bloke RIP
I doubt if half of you on here had even thought of or about him for years!
Of course not honcho and why would we? Good player in his day and sad to hear of his passing that's all.
I remember him well ,as much for Arsenal as for Ipswich ,and often leading the line for England ,was a decent centre forward ,may he RIP.
Started out at Chorley. We've got 1 of his shirts from Spain '82 in the club house. He still used to come on when he was in UK, will be sadly missed.

Someone mentioned on another thread yesterday about England beating France in WC '82... I could remember Bryan Robson first minute goal.. watched the highlights on youtube yesterday.. Mariner got the third..
I hadn't thought about Paul Mariner for years,.... until yesterday. Then heard the sad news today .. strange coincidence?
I well remember big "Jaws", Tam Forsyth, having both him and Mick Channon on toast at Hampden one sunny Saturday.
Channon, in particular, ssshat his-self!

One of the greatest days in recent memory, as a Wolves fan, was when Steve Bull came on as a sub for England at Hampden ... it was also a sunny Saturday,,
.. don't forget we were a third division side having just got promoted from the 4th. To have a Wolves player in the England squad was a miracle to us... anyway, Bully smashed it in with more or less his first touch in the game... Wolverhampton erupted... a great day..

Sorry folks... this is a thread about Paul Mariner... but LoyalHoncho got me thinking of sunny Saturdays at Hampden

Yes I thought about him yesterday too! Was thinkin* about the ‘82 World Cup and how we got eliminated without losing a game. Keegan and Brooking were injured so only gi5 26 minutes. We beat a French team that included Platini, Alain Giresse and Jean Tigana. They also had the great Marius Tresor.
Mariner indeed got the third.

I was at that match. Couldn't believe how good Bull was. Industrious, aggressive, skilled, impossible to keep on a leish. Yep - smashing player. Should have had loads more caps in my view.
mariner was a brilliant old fashioned centre forward , not without decent touch on the ball either
Me and some school pals went to a WCQ against the mighty Luxembourg.. Remember singing his name (he was sub) 12 years old..
RIP.
RIP.
A great player as part of a magnificent team .....how they did not win the league I still do not know.
RIP
RIP
