Paul Mariner has sailed off. Ipswich and England.
Also a son of Lorry driving boxer Chrith Ewbankth.
RIP
The former England international striker scored nine goals in 66 appearances for the Blues between 1986 and 1988.
Ignorance is bliss

Andy Fordham
Googled to see who it was.
A spokesperson confirmed to SunSport that Fordham passed away in hospital on Thursday morning after suffering major organ failure.
Doctors were amazed at his ability to fight his health issues but his death has left wife Jenny and their family heartbroken.
Fordham famously once weighed 31 stone and downed 25 bottles of lager a day before tackling his health issues.
I guess its no real surprises there then!

Genuinely saddened by that one but 72 isn't a bad run I guess.

Wait till you're 72, then say that.

If only you could remember which sensible place you put the list though eh?
I'm knocking on 50 myself and not that far behind you and I've been called Pops since I was 39 so I'm just using up the pisstakes before they start flowing my way.
