All of yesterdays goings on the terrible news somewhat got put to the side.
I know very little about MND, but on reading up on google, it doesnt sound as though people live for much more than 3/4 years after being diagnosed. would that be correct in saying?
What i call "my ipswich" will always have Marcus Stewart as a striker, was a hero. Such sad news |  |

I was too young to appraise Crawford and he was also past his prime by then, but his goals speak for themselves. Mariner was the best forward I saw play for Ipswich and up there with any I saw play for anyone else. His all round game was sublime.
Whymark was actually more than the best header of the ball I saw play for us. He was decent on the ground too.
In terms of finishers, there are two for me. Alan Brazil and Marcus Stewart. Brazil scored 70 in 154 appearances. Both were lethal. Brazil was pace and Stewart was more about positional play which he had an unerring skill in finding. Both in front of goal - thank you and goodnight. I was so lucky to see these people play.
Honourable mentions for the two David Johnsons too. A key player in Robson’s first great team. Not a finisher to Stewart’s level but a mighty fine player. You didn’t play for us about 140 times or Liverpool slightly more if you weren’t. David Johnson 2 was a really good finisher too, but his goals all came at a lower level. Terrific player though - I loved watching him play. |
Agree with everything you said there, particularly about Whymark, who never quite seems to get the level of recognition he deserves. |  | | |

He doesn’t. His work rate and link play were always excellent. It was one of the reasons he was such a good partner for Johnson then Mariner.
When he faded, we were lucky Brazil came along when he did. Would I favour a prime Alan Brazil over a prime Trevor Whymark? No. |  | | |

At the risk of sounding controversial, this was the news story that's upset me most last 24 hours. |
I'm with you if I'm being honest | | | |

I completely agree with the OP - Marcus will always be our generation's star striker.
The news was so left field but I do feel some real sadness/heartbreak about it more so than other current events. Those days certainly are brilliant memories - getting old just sucks really.
It's also given me a little bit of spur to read Rob Burrow's book which I have had sitting around for a while. Wishing the best for Marcus and all his family in these times and I hope all fans tonight do him proud on the 11th minute.
I envisage some tears. |  | | |
