I haven't seen it mentioned on here but I thought he deserves a mention. He lost his leg through illness but has over come what happened to him by humour.  

I just wanted to say well done to Peg Leg Mariner for over coming his illness.  I don't know if anyone knows him but if someone does I would like you to pass on my best wishes.

Its Mariners Trust board member Stu Raithby ... Total legend.

'PegLeg' is a Mariners Trust board member who does a hell of a lot of the administration. He has been processing the new membership applications that he has been inundated with in recent weeks.

That's not to say he wouldn't be able to process a few more :o

I don't know were I first saw his picture pegleg but I thought he deserved a mention because of the way he has got over what happened to him.  How long ago did this happen and could you pass on my regards Chris.

I'm very proud to call him my Husband.

He lost his leg nearly 3 years ago through an infection following a diabetic ulcer in his foot.

We went from normal newly engaged couple to lives upside down in less than a week from the ulcer appearing,

Stu has maintained his humour throughout, he quite often takes the leg off when he's had a few and plays it like a guitar!

I am super proud of him :-)

Good on him!

Good stuff sparkles and I hope I haven't caused him any embarrassment. I must have read something from that time that is still on the net and thought it was more recent. Certainly sounds like a right character and I'm glad he's doing great. You'll have to pass on my regards sparkles.

Sounds like a top bloke.

No embarrasment  caused at all, don't worry.
He's loving the fame!!
I passed on your regards and he said thank you very much.

Fantastic! I bet he's proud of you too.

They say that behind every good man is a good women.  He is lucky to have someone so loyal and singing his praises so highly.  

He might have got a game under Neil Woods , I think he will struggle to make the squad now though  ;D

Oh the fame has gone to his head!

He is awaiting admin to approve his account for The Fishy :-/

Bear in mind when Woods was manager he would probably have had two fully functioning legs.

All the very best to you both.. I remember you from Alfreton away... what a good day that was
and great to meet you....    :)

Legend. I first saw the picture posted on Facebook, just had to be shared. Great sense of humour.  8)

Fantastic stuff, love the shirt.  All the best with the recovery.

Thanks again everyone.

He said to pass on that we will be at the two friendlies next week, if anyone sees him please come and say hi!

Thnals everyone and UP THE MARINERS!!

Ffs, first ever post and he can't spell thanks. See folks, nowt special about him, just an average idiot.
Also, can someone delete my earlier post saying nice things about him.... Don't want him getting used to it ;-)
