      Interesting reading up on his early life. Had no idea about some of this...

      Marsh was born in Hatfield, Hertfordshire to Lilian – a housewife – and William Marsh – a docker. He grew up in the East End of London, and in fact his mother only spent a few days in Hertfordshire so as to avoid going into labour during the Blitz. He had a rough upbringing as a child, particularly with his father, and in his autobiography said that this tough upbringing left him emotionally traumatised. His father came from an even more violent family himself, and was partially crippled at the age of 19 after being attacked by his father with a hammer. An only child, he described his family as "incredibly poor", and until the age of 11 he slept in the corner of his parent's bedroom – the family shared a three-storey house with two other families and the only other room they had was a living room. He attended Arsenal matches at Highbury with his father, and also went along to see reserve team matches. The family's poverty came to an end just as Marsh was beginning his professional football career – his father helped the landlord to fill out his weekly pool coupon, and the landlord had a massive win shortly before his death and left the house to Marsh's father in his will.

        I stand corrected but that was not what he said on one of those podcast nights in the room in the pub a couple of years ago.
