ecuk268 Posted 10 July, 2021 Share Posted 10 July, 2021 Sadly died yesterday, only 68. Decent player in his day. Always remember him in that Ipswich team of Bobby Robson's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 10 July, 2021 Share Posted 10 July, 2021 Sad news, as I posted on the euro thread, I knew him during the 80’s and spent quite a few nights out with him. Decent bloke, funny, and down to earth. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 10 July, 2021 Share Posted 10 July, 2021 Great player from my childhood. Could header a ball. Very sad and brain cancer is not a nice way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 July, 2021 Share Posted 10 July, 2021 It’s very sad that players whom you knew in their prime are taken from us at an early age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 10 July, 2021 Share Posted 10 July, 2021 Always liked Mariner, the Ipswich team of the 70/80s was always to be admired, they had some great players, Mariner was in the top bracket. We'll gloss over his 2 seasons with the Skates (as does Wikipedia strangely) and reflect on a much admired player whose life has ended far too soon.

rooney Posted 11 July, 2021 Share Posted 11 July, 2021 I can remember a classy display at the Dell when he was with Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember seeing him playing for Plymouth including against us at The Dell. He was a player I hoped Lawrie would go for as he had something about him and made a 'nuisance' of himself against our defence (although several did that from timer to time). However we were in Division 2 at the time and still had Channon and (a then often underperforming) Peter Osgood on the books so little chance of it happening.

Mariner and Jimmy Gabriel announced the same day, the latter especially seemed an insoluble part of my childhood and early years watching Saints. Mariner isn't that much older than me. It acts as a reminder of our (or mine anyway) advancing years and vulnerability. RIP both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
