RIP Paul Mariner

Devastating. I met Paul a couple of times whilst he was playing for Argyle. Great player, great guy, great loss.
Desperately sad news. I was lucky enough to be one of just 7066 who saw his debut in 1973 against Rochdale. Every single fan that night knew we were seeing a very special player for the first time.
As a 69 year old it also brings home the reality of life - you can take nothing for granted. Agree fully that the club should make a special tribute - and I am sure Simon and Co will give this a lot of thought. For me he really was an Argyle legend.

Struggling to type as I appear to have some grit in my eyes.
Never forget seeing him and Billy making defences look stupid.
RIP Paul - the Argyle family is hurting today.

THE best Argyle player I have ever seen since starting my Pilgrimage in 1961. I have said a few times on PASOTI about Paul, whether we won or lost, he was always the best player on the pitch.
Had a big lump in my throat when I heard the news earlier this morning.
Forever a great.
RIP.

Shocked!
As other have said, probably the best player in my lifetime to wear the green of Argyle. A club legend :nworthy:
Aside from memories of him playing, I'm reminded of my times as a 17/18 year old out on the town on a Saturday night and you would often bump into Paul and other players in the pub having a pint. The Good Companions and Mount Pleasant come to mind, always had time for a chat and I apologise now if I ever over stayed my welcome discussing the game that probably took place earlier that day :facepalm:
The weekend has not started well, let's hope it gets better. RIP Paul and my thoughts go out to family and friends.

What terrible news. :-(
Every loss is difficult but this one seems more difficult that most.
Nice touch on BBC News sport bulletin just now presenter went out of his way to emphasize he was an Argyle legend.

Really sad news.
He was my first hero on the pitch and I was fortunate enough to share a few drinks with one of his former Ipswich team mates many years ago who said he was a great guy off it too.
I hope England pay tribute tomorrow.
RIP Paul & thank you for the memories.
