Rodney Marsh Q&A "I left my heart in Manchester"

[LongsightM13]

Played in the Indoor version for Chicago in 1986-87, before getting a job as a Financial Analyst and going semi-pro! (No money in football back then, and not that much now, unless you’re a franchise player!)

I was drafted by San Diego Sockers in the MISL and went out there for awhile. Kaz Deyna and Ade Coker (WHU) were their big English players, and they had an English manager whose name escapes me. However, their financial offer was not that hood and basically relied on me having another job to live in San Diego, plus my wife was raised in Chicago and already had a job there, so the choice wasn’t that hard.

Interesting times mate! Think Kazzy Deyna’s lad Norbert went on to do some coaching in San Diego iirc
Some interesting stuff on his time in San Diego and at City in this

Loved Franny giving that dirty red bastard O’Neill a dig (8.00) after a dangerous knee-high foul, especially as Best’s assault on Glyn Pardoe would still have been fresh in the memory. Think he cracked him one off the ball second half as well!

Yeh,saw that,and a few more little things going on,like derbys were in those days.

It’s been quite an adventure for a lad born in Torquay to two Manc parents (Withington & Rusholme) who moved around during his journeyman football career, but who spent most of our lives in Mcr.

“For the following five years he played against American teenagers and aging footballers from Europe who, just like him, were ending their careers, or earning a buck on their vacation.”

Hey, I resemble that remark!! ;-)

Thanks and Steve’s a cracking fella from a family of big blues.

Glad to hear it!
Lots of water under the bridge since the late 70’s, early 80’s.
