RIP Paul. You brought so many great memories to us Town fans.

RIP Paul. Sad news.

Shocked to read this devastating news this morning. One of my favourite players to wear the Town shirt. You will always be remembered by my generation of fans. Condolences to your family and friends.

RIP Paul

Terrible news, rest in peace Paul, a true Town legend, my thoughts are with his family.

Truly a sad day. RIP Paul Mariner.

RIP Paul, and thoughts are with your family X

“I’d walk a million miles for one of your goals, Paul Maasaariner, “

Damn, damn!

RIP Paul.

Condolences to the family.

R.I.P Paul. Best thoughts and Wishes go to his Family

Shocked to hear this very sad news. 68 is really no age at all!

While i only have video clips to go on, so you don't get to fully appreciate all sides of his game, i am sure his name would be very high on a list of all time great Ipswich Town strikers for most older fans. No doubt kids playing football in the park in the late 70's early 80's would want to be Paul Mariner.

RIP Paul. Thank you for the fantastic memories, even for those of us who were never lucky enough to see you play.

RIP, Paul

Very sad news and only 68 both Paul and the beat lost to early in life RIP.

RIP Paul.

A true legend in every essence of the word.

What a man, what a true legend. Used to watch him get kicked from pillar to post then kick them back and score

R.I.P Paul, thoughts with your family and loved ones

Really touching tribute from John Wark which just shows the mark of the man.

True Ipswich Town legend. Taken way too soon. RIP Paul Mariner.

I remember seeing him as a kid on the telly all the way done here in the golden era.

RIP Paul

such sad news, he was an awsome player and one of my all time favourites. Losing him at a relatively young age too, genuinely feel upset and my deepest condolences to his family, friends and anybody who knew him.

RIP Paul

Another sad day, at no age at all, RIP Paul Mariner and condolences to all his family and friends.

Tributes from the Mol. as AzzurroMark says " just shows the mark of the man."

So true. Nice to read other club's fans paying tribute like this.

So sad true Town great. Thanks for all the great memories RIP

Only got the news a moment ago been too busy to catch up with things. First reaction, one of sadness. Aware he had his health issues but still comes as a shock all the same. Sympathies to Mr Mariners immediate family at this difficult time.

Not to say without him we wouldn't had done what we did 40 - 45 years back, but played a pivotal part in those achievements without question. Recall almost like no time when he took off in '84 and left a big void in the team but what a servant here and complimented those players around him.

How much would a player like that, at his prime, be worth in todays market, it would be unfair to put a price on it but someone like that, as he were, would be worth every penny and then some.

What a player. Superb.

Wonderful memories.

RIP

Know i’ve already commented on this thread, but must say, since he died (and his name is the thread title) every time i venture into the forum and see his name……. Can’t believe he’s dead.

Such was the mans impact on my life back in the day. Kevin Beatties main years, i was slightly too young and that news didn’t hit home as much. Mariners death has me in bigger disbelief than when SBR left us.
Its the vivid memories of the days when 10/11/12 years old and “being Mariner” when out playing football with pals wearing the full ITFC kit bought from a sports shop on Rose Street, Edinburgh.

RIP Paul Mariner. Dont know if you ever knew it when alive, and “legend” gets thrown about too much these days, ……. But you were indeed an absolute legend.

Do you think we have an Ipswich Town appreciation club at the Mol. i think it more about the same hate for your rivals that connect the 2 clubs.

A lot of it started after this harmless tackle on that little weasel Bellamy

in this thread there is this quote.

Norman Bell ; Quote;
“I would say that team picture was taken not long after filming of “Escape to Victory " had finished as John Wark, Russell Osman, Kevin O'Callaghan, Laurie Sivell and Kevin Beattie are all sporting haircuts far shorter than they did usually as Ipswich supplied those players for the film !”



Anyone confirm that.? as i didn't know that.

I would say accurate. John Warks hair was unusually short in ETV and likewise in that team photo.

It was indeed spot on.

Just another sad thing that has come out of this!
Some absolute lowlife has stolen the shirt with Paul’s name on from SBRs statue.

As we live in an Orwellian world, hopefully, (somehow) that utter b*stard is caught on cctv.

It sums up the scum that walks our streets these days
