Mariner 17:47 - Mar 24 with 1946 views | blueoxford | I was talking recently with an ex Arsenal player about Paul Mariner. He was just breaking into the first team squad around the time that Mariner joined. Being from an Irish background and relatively junior at the time, he was the subject of bullying from one of the first team squad. Mariner became aware of the bullying and told the player (who had been at the club for a number of years) in no uncertain terms that it should stop. The bullying stopped immediately. He said that Mariner didn’t need to get involved, but that was just the sort of person he was. | | | | |

Nobody took liberties with him on the field or clearly off it either. Top bloke, top player. He has featured in my Avatar pic for years and there he will stay. | | | |

I remember him playing against Lowestoft Town in a "friendly" at Crown Meadow! 😂 | | | |

Other than our once legendary manager, Roy Keane....... | |

Looked it up. I gather Keane was unimpressed that Paul Mariner didn’t haves drink with him after the Plymouth game in 2010. Mariner publicly apologised and I’m sure there were no hard feelings. | | | |

Well, if he ignored PMs apology, that just shows what a tool Keane was and is. Useless manager too. | | | |

Some of the News comments haven't aged very well, not that they were a great look at the time! | |
