Marshall calls it a day

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Lee Marshall has been forced to retire from professional football through injury.
The 26-year-old fractured both his tibia and fibula in his right leg whilst playing on loan at Hull City last April.
Marshall had hoped to recover from the injury - that saw him sidelined for 12 months - and despite making a comeback for The Baggies' reserves two months ago the midfielder has decided to call it a day.
"I'm gutted my professional career has come to an end so early and it is going to take me some time to come to terms with it," Marshall told the club's official website.
"But after consulting surgeons and doctors, who have been very helpful, it was the only decision that could be made."
Gary Megson brought the versatile former England Under-21 midfielder to The Hawthorns in 2002.
"I've enjoyed some terrific years in professional football with Norwich, Leicester, Hull and England Under-21s and worked under some great people," added Marshall.
"I would just like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way."

i feel well sorry for him. IMO he showed some promise and i was looking forward to seeing him play for us under MA in the season we went up but he was sold. obviously he never did great for us but i could see he was a decent player and no matter who the player is it is always sad when they have to retire through injury, especially at 26. poor guy

don't talk wet.

when did he ever show promise???? 2 other 20 somethings that had more potential than he ever could were Eadie and Jones. Now i felt for them.

lee marshall, my dog can dribble a ball better than him and shep's only got 3 legs.

hes wank and has been getting paid stacks for the past x amount of years.

I hope now that he is retired he develops a nasty Crack addiction and resorts to begging on a little wheelie cart( a la Eddie Murphy in Trading Places) outside of Macdonalds in leicester.
