Former England striker Paul Mariner dies aged 68

There's a lot to dislike about strikers if you think about it. They always get the glory, most of them don't seem to do much running and they can often be prima donnas on the pitch.

Centre-forwards spend most of their time isolated from their teammates, knowing that any missed chances will be greeted with a maelstrom of abuse from the crowd. At the turn of the last decade it...
