Paul Mariner , made his name for Ipswich along side Alan Brazil , then joined The Arsenal .
I had the great pleasure in meeting Mariner when he was being coached back from injury.
Mariner had so many injections in his Achillesâ tendon he couldnât walk backwards without difficulties .
Great player
RIP Paul

It was , the physio was called Roy Carter and he was there with Eric Gates , Alan Brazil and Paul Mariner . Roy , was getting them to stretch and get movement back in the Achilles .
Mariner was in a pretty bad way with this injury.

One of my favourite darts players was Andy Fordham. Watching him in the mid 90s on the BBC, playing the likes of Steve Beaton and Ray van Barneveld and Richie Burnett was a joy to behold.
Heâs going up to that Darting Valhalla in the sky as the late, great Sid Waddell used to say.
RIP Andy Fordham

Suffered alcoholism over the years and had chronic weight issues all his life. Over 30 stone at one time.
