Mariner, Talbot and Gates on Life's a Pitch - Ipswich Town News

Blues legends Paul Mariner, Brian Talbot and Eric Gates all feature on Life’s a Pitch, which is live on Radio Suffolk from the FanZone between midday and 2pm with host Mark Murphy joined by regular legend Terry Butcher, Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham.

Mariner, Talbot and Gates were all at the Night to Remember Kevin Beattie in Clacton earlier in the week and speak about their former team-mate and Life’s a Pitch legend-in-residence, who died last year aged 64.

There will also be a collection bucket for donations to the Kevin Beattie statue fundraising campaign.
