Talk:Rodney Marsh

Very reckless driving when in despair about retirement
This was a very grim tale that he told on a Channel 4 show called Under The Moon in 1997 (on the verge of tears) if anyone can find a clip etc;

When forced to retire from playing football through injury, he drove at night across London to his house with his foot hard on the accelerator, not even stopping for any red lights etc (so indifferent if his own death or of course those of others occurred) - but luckily there was somehow no collision with another vehicle (London traffic at night in the 1970's compared to now I suppose). Hopefully his insurance company wasn't watching. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 (talk) 10:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Turned down OBE?
I heard that Rodney turned down an OBE, reportedly saying that Her Royal Highness can 'stick it where the sun don't shine'. Any corroboration for this?--OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 20:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Clown Prince of Football
This was his nickname in many circles with an image of his partying lifestyle often hampering a player of a high calibre not able to perform his best.

Wrong Rodney Marsh
I think the famous Australian cricket Player died today, not the English footballer with the same name. 2001:F40:906:1188:55A:891F:8D52:DCE2 (talk) 05:07, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
