Paul Mariner biography 15:37 - May 18 with 1497 viewsnodge_blue

Currently reading that.

One of my favourite parts so far is when he describes coming out of the Wembley tunnel and the Ipswich players at that stage being unaware just how many Town fans were there. And they were turning round to look as they emerged and getting goose bumps.

And then he says (unintentionally funny)....I just wish time could have stood still, even if for just one minute.

I think I know what he meant :-)

Brilliant. I can’t wait to read it.

When the players walked out, I was in the ‘gallery’ standing behind the goal and remember seeing the players looking up. When they came out, after all the nearlys, I knew my dream of watching my team walk out in the FA Cup Final was fulfilled. It was an overwhelming moment for me amongst many that day.

Those too young to have been around then can never quite get how important the FA Cup was then. Its so long ago, but I was lucky to have witnessed it.

It was always a moment he spoke about when talking about the FA Cup win. I used to love hearing him talk about it. Third page of this:

You may not have spotted it with other matters dominating the media, but today is the 32nd anniversary of Town’s 1-0 FA Cup final victory over Arsenal. To celebrate that great day, we thought we’d rerun the Paul Mariner interview from issue 92 of TWTD in which the Blues’ number nine remembered the cup run and that afternoon at Wembley. 6

There is nothing wrong with that.
It's perfectly good English. It is completely easy to understand what he means.

It only dawned on me today for the first time (reading the book), that we set up 433 that day.

When I think back on the videos Ive watched since its clear that Geddis and Woods were playing wide of Mariner.

How very modern.

I wonder why we didnt try it more, given how successful it was that day.

The aim was to pin the Arsenal full-backs back, Pat Rice and Sammy Nelson. Was Bobby Ferguson's idea. As you say, worked a charm.

I guess that if time stood still, even if for just one minute, while reading this thread we would keep reading "I just wish time could have stood still, even if for just one minute."

I am also reading it at the moment. A good read. I intend to read Warky's after which has been sitting on the shelf for a long time.

If time stands still, how do you measure the passing of a minute?

SBR was way ahead of his day tbh … Spurs always get a lot of credit for their “ revolutionary” use of the two Argentine players …. But I’d suggest our two Dutchmen had a far greater impact and certainly led SBR to playing a more “continental” way compared to many other clubs at that point in time.
