In part 2 we take a walk down memory lane with former Ipswich , Everton and Leicester striker Ian Marshall lifting the lid on a wonderful 411 game 18-year professional football career.

Ian Marshall began his 18-year footballing career by coming through the youth ranks at Everton who at the time was one of the biggest clubs in England.

Ian Marshall went on to make 15 appearances at Everton scoring one goal finding playing time hard to come by with players such as 
Wayne Clarke.
Goalkeeper Neville Southall. 
Striker and England international Gary Lineker 
Midfielder Peter Reid
all under the Everton legend and probably their best ever manager in Howard Kendall. 

Ian then moved on to Oldham F.C appearing in 170 games scoring 36 goals. Appearing under former Ipswich Town manager and Oldham Athletic manager and ITFC legend Joey Royle.
Ian Marshall recalls with brutal honesty; 
How much he loved his time with Joe Royle and Oldham seeing crowds rise from 3 thousand to well over 18 thousand. 

Ian Marshall lifts the lid on how he and Oldham manager Joe Royle came to fall out in a bitter spat in what Ian felt was a lack of respect shown to him following a long and difficult season.

This row ultimately lead to Ian Marshall's move away from Oldham and in the summer of 1993 joining Ipswich Town F.C for 750k, which in today's market would be a 1.5 million pounds fee. So even by today's standards a lot of money for a club such as Ipswich Town F.C
