Has anyone mentioned Paul Mariner from Chorley in 1973....who scouted him ?
Verdi godwin.
Strange name. Guess thats why his name has stuck all these years.
Sadly passed away in 2013. Note he scouted for waiters in canada as well.

28 goals in 146 games (Wiki) or 29 in 144 (His Missus).
But, helped save people in 800+incidents as a lifeguard on Southport beach. No fatalities! Got the British Empire Medal for that. Also sang and compered in clubs around Southport. Married for 60 years and his wife said he was never serious.
She says that he 'found' Waiters too and scouted for Shankly.
Sounds a character doesn't he!!?? :thumbs:
