Both Trevor Francis and Paul Mariner played in the 1982 world cup. Mariner scored in the 3-1 win over France. Both he and Francis were from Plymouth.
That day Bryan Robson scored one of the quickest goals in wc history, then got the second. Mariner got the third.
RIP.

Talking of which I remember we played PAFC one time (75/76?) and their followers had a 'MIGHTY MARINER' flag draped over one of the crush barriers in Kempton.

There was a rumour that we had first refusal on Paul Mariner and another player on the South Coast, can't remember his name, but we gave up the option. In the event both went for more than we would have had to pay.
Fine player in a very good Ipswich team.

Think Plymouth had just been promoted that season. We won 4-0.I remember talking to some Plymouth fans in the pub who were making a weekend of it.
 
RIP Bob Sargeant - Not a household name, but he produced Peel sessions for the Buzzcocks, Joy Division, the Undertones, Madness, Gang of Four & many more. He was also the producer on The Beat's debut album, Haircut 100's debut, 'Giant' by the Woodentops, The Fall 'Live at the Witch Trials', The Damned, the Ruts and many others.
 
Neil Wallace age 43..
The pedestrian killed on Beverley High Road on Thursday evening.. No word yet on the name of the motorcyclist who also lost his life.
RIP.
