Ian Marshall on the Podcast

[HomeDressingroom]

Morning Leicester fans,

Ipswich Town fan coming in peace and trying to escape the nightmare of the Rugby World Cup final. I have two football podcasts
One is an Ipswich Town podcast the other is a locked on the Premier league podcast. I have Ian Marshall appearing on both podcasts this week.

You can subscribe here so you don't miss the podcast when it drops next week.



I was really rather hoping you would be able to help me as I am looking for ;

Any personal memories on Ians time with Leicester or through his career that you may have.

Any questions you have off for Ian.

Sorry to trouble you and thanks in advance.

This goal that gave us the lead at Atletico Madrid in the UEFA cup.

Hat-trick against Derby

This goal that gave us the lead at Atletico Madrid in the UEFA cup.

Then the dirty bar stewards stood on his leg to put him out of the game
That goal was brilliant though

Wednesday nights out in Loughborough while I was a student. Him and a load of the first team used to be out most weeks.

These days he hosts the lounge we’re in each week at home games and he does a good job in there.

When I used to coach kids at Birstall he would be on the sidelines, with his wellies and wax jacket

 

[Robin127]

He always looked like a bloke who'd wandered into the ground from the street and asked if he could get a game, like the kid who'd turn up when when you and your mates were playing in the park.

My favourite was his overhead kick against Fulham in the league cup. Mental night. He was only a couple of inches off the ground due to gravity. Legend. Bag of cans, packet of snouts and don't bother pulling your socks up lad.

There was a good story in Steve Walsh's book. It was something to the effect of:

The club had let Marshall train at home, but sent him away with a heart and activity tracker. When he came back it had unusual readings on it. Later, it transpired that he had strapped it to the dog and let it run around the living room, while he was on the sofa watching TV.

At Portman Road he scored 38 times in just over 90 appearances, including five times in his first five games, a feat that has not been repeated since in the Premier League,[1] before being sold to Leicester City for £200,000,000 in 1996.


Wiki has him as the most expensive footballer ever.

 

[Miles Away]

He was a much more gifted footballer than his appearance and reputation allowed.

He had a really good first touch.

I loved his personal aesthetic and stole the “socks around your ankles” thing for myself.
