Career

Marshall began his career with Dinnington Athletic before signing for Sheffield United in May 1935. He spent four years with the club, making thirteen league appearances,[1] before leaving to join Cardiff City in May 1939. However, the outbreak of World War II saw competitive football suspended but the club held his registration while he served in the army. When the Football League resumed in 1946, Marshall returned to Cardiff and made his debut in a 2–1 victory over Notts County but was released without making another appearance. He later played non-league football with Yeovil Town.[2]
