John Marshall (24 April 1892 – 10 October 1964), nicknamed Jack or Jock, was an association football player, who represented both Scotland and the United States. His professional career took him to several clubs in Scotland, England, Wales and the United States. He earned seven caps with Scotland and one with the US national team.[4]

Professional career

Sources disagree on the year Marshall was born. According to his Bethlehem Steel biography, he was born in 1902. Further research suggests his birth was in 1892, as his playing career started with

First World War period,[5] at the end of which he was part of the team that won the 1919 Victory Cup,[6] having already claimed a medal from the minor Paisley Charity Cup four years earlier.[7]

In November 1919, St Mirren transferred Marshall to English club

Bethlehem Steel in August 1928.[8][9] Bethlehem then loaned him out to the Philadelphia Centennials for a few games, but he was back in Bethlehem in December.[10] He remained with Bethlehem until the team folded in 1930.[11]

He is also reputed to have spent time with Greenock Morton.[12]

National team

Scotland

Between 1921 and 1924, Marshall earned seven caps with Scotland.[13] His first cap came in a 2–1 victory over Wales on 12 February 1921.[13] His seventh, and last, cap came almost exactly three years later in a 2–0 loss to Wales on 16 February 1924.[13] He was captain for two matches, on 9 April 1921 and 4 February 1922.

United States

After he moved to the United States he was capped once with the United States national team on 6 November 1926;[14] in that game, a 6–1 victory over Canada, Marshall scored a goal.[15]

Coaching career

Marshall coached the Yale Bulldogs men's soccer program from 1950 until his death in 1964.[16]
