Career

edit

Born in Peterhead and raised in West Lothian, Marshall began his senior career with Partick Thistle, signing for Bradford City in June 1914.[2][3] He made 33 Football League appearances for the West Yorkshire club either side of World War I, scoring 12 goals; he also played in four FA Cup matches, without scoring.[4] After turning out for Partick and Ayr United as a guest player (the Scottish Football League continued during the conflict),[5] Marshall returned to Bradford but departed Valley Parade in September 1920 to join Oldham Athletic.[2] Following three seasons at Boundary Park he had short spells at Bangor City in Wales, at Southport, Rotherham County and Lincoln City in England and at Queen of the South back in Scotland.[6][5]
