Mariner Added to Beat's Birthday Bash Guestlist

Paul Mariner has joined Frans Thijssen, Arnold Muhren, Eric Gates, Alan Brazil, Russell Osman and Brian Talbot on the list of Blues legends who will be with the Life’s a Pitch regulars on Radio Suffolk at lunchtime (midday-2pm) to celebrate their team-mate Kevin Beattie turning 60.

Throughout the show, Beattie, the show’s legend-in-residence, presenter Mark Murphy, football’s youngest pundit Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham will be catching up with the Town stars of the past as they pay tribute to the man often described as the club’s greatest ever player.

Also amongst those dropping in will be Pat Godbold, secretary to all Town managers from Sir Alf Ramsey to George Burley, and local media stalwart and one-time Blues ballboy Stuart Jarrold, who now works with Sky Sports, while current Town boss Mick McCarthy will recall his on-field battles with the Beat.

Beattie will be a club guest at Saturday's game against Watford and is set to be interviewed by PA man Rob Chandler on the pitch prior to kick-off before watching the match from the directors’ box.
