Mazza makes a trademark save
The 26 year old keeper has made over 250 apearances for City in a six year stay at the Bank. He signed in 1999 from Tottenham along with Peter Gain and spent the first season and a half on the fringes of the first team. However once John Vaughan and Barry Richardson left the club Marriott stepped up and never looked back.

For three seasons now 'Mazza' has produced save after save and commands his box with devilish commitment. Top League Two strikers like Jon Stead, Andy Kirk and Gregg Blundell have all failed to beat Marriott who has quickly established himself as League Two's best keeper. Saldy PFA Players awards do not eclipse this status as he has been shunned for three years, however Imps fans are in no doubt who is 'Englands Number One'.

Mazza verbally agreed a new deal two weeks ago, but with Peter Gain and Kevin Sandwith apparently doing the same fans will be pleased to finally see the ink on the contract. Mazza signs a three year deal that will keep him at City until 2008.
