Just seen this, sad news. One of the names I first got used to hearing on TV and Radio when I got into football as a 5 year old. You forget how the years roll on. His goal against Hungary that got us to Espana 82 is the first international goal I can remember and mention of his name always makes me think of 'that' Admiral England shirt. RIP Paul Mariner.
It says "brain cancer" was cause of death. Poor sod! He always reminded me of the '82 World Cup, and not forgetting Ipswich winning the UEFA Cup... the Ipswich team of that era was a cracking side.
