		To some this was an indication that Marsh's skills were sufficient only to prosper in the lower divisions although this would be ignoring the facts that most of his teammates were patently not up to the challenge and that his own season was again spoiled by injury.
		Rodney Marsh was an obvious scapegoat for City's collapse and received widespread criticism and ridicule.
		Marsh would lose his job with Sky Sports after making an unfortunate, but basically harmless, joke concerning David Beckham's inability to understand the difference between the Toon Army and the tsunami which had just struck Asia, a joke virtually every football fan must surely have already heard.

	Rodney Marsh (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rodney William Marsh (born October 11, 1944 in Hatfield, Hertfordshire) is a retired English footballer.
		Marsh was one of a generation of highly-talented "maverick" players who emerged in English football the 1960s and 1970s and never quite fulfilled their potential, along with the likes of George Best, Peter Osgood and Stan Bowles.
		Marsh led the club to a League Cup final in 1974, though this time he was on the losing side as City were beaten by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

		Soccer, or football as it is known in most of the world, is also an Olympic event and regularly attracts the greatest number of spectators at the Olympic Games -- including the year when the Olympics were held in Los Angeles.
		The halcyon days for men’s senior soccer were in the 1970s when such world stars as Pele, George Best, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff and Rodney Marsh played in the US for teams such as the New York Cosmos and the Los Angeles Aztecs.
		Despite indifference towards soccer at senior political level and in the media -- this is despite presidents, including Bill Clinton, taking photo opportunities with world soccer stars such as Pele -- the US can count itself as a world power in soccer, regardless of how it performs at this World Cup.

	Save Rodney Marsh - Get Him Back on Soccer Saturday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Rodney would be the first person to put his hand up and accept that he made an unfortunate mistake, but the knee-jerk reaction from Sky Sports was unnecessary.
		The comments made by Rodney, although a tad foolish, have been taken out of context by a large number of the public, and the action by Sky Sports will make watching Soccer Saturday less enjoyable.
		It’s people like Rodney, who are not afraid to speak their mind, that gives programmes such as Soccer Saturday that edge over competitors.

		The year was 1977, and yes, the place was sold out, packed to the rafters with fans of a sport that today – with all due respect to Major League Soccer – remains largely the domain of minivan driving moms and their broods.
		And what blanks they are, from the revelatory (without the fanaticism of Warner Communications chairman Steve Ross, the North American Soccer League — let alone the Cosmos — would not have come to pass) to the scandalous (one Cosmos exec recalls a pair of sex acts performed during a cross-country team flight).
		New York area soccer fans starved for such talent weren't the only ones flocking to see the team; only an alert and suitably impressed player saved a skinny long-haired locker-room intruder (paging Mick Jagger) from being tossed out on his ear by a clueless coach.

	Reinstate Rodnye Marsh Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]
		Rodney Marsh was and still is the best football pundit ever.
		He was also the most entertaining pundit on the Gillette Soccer Saturday that was his main gig at Sky Sports, his arguments with his co-presenters Jeff Stelling, George Best and that Scottish Arsenal player whose name escapes me, were always riotous, it was amazing the show held together sometimes.
		To sack Rodney after his loyal service to Sky is absolutely scandalous to me. He made a joke about the Tsunami - so what.

		The home game against Queens Park Rangers at the end of September was decided by Marsh's spectacular overhead kick, a goal he'd later describe as possibly the best of his career.
		Marsh, the holder of nine England caps (eight won whilst with City), and soccer in the Florida sunshine were made for each other.
		Over the next few years he would become not only a superstar in Tampa, but would go on to be the driving force that made them arguably the most glamorous side in that most glamorous of countries.

		U.S. soccer presents a unique opportunity to be different and do things right, to undermine players before they make their big-time move, prompting me to believe it's the work of a desperate baseball fans.
		That soccer was first in the news was fantastic news for the sport, but then it was followed by news that two British soldiers had been killed by a rocket attack in Afghanistan.
		Soccer players from outside of England generally manifest this in different ways, however, it is also fair to say it is easier to see fault in those outside of your culture, when in actuality it exists amongst English players as well.

	Once in a Lifetime - Movie Review :: Soccerphile
		This fast-moving and entertaining film, by the makers of the magnificent Oscar-winning documentary "One Day in September," is 1970s in its feel, from the period music and on-screen lettering to the monotone backdrops used for several of the interviews.
		The Cosmos' success was also their Achilles' heel as the other clubs in the league could not match their spending or star-pulling power and began to fold like dominoes as a result, leaving the New York franchise without a league to play in.
		The positive conclusion the film offers is the correct observation that football was invisible in America before the Cosmos but their 15 minutes of fame created the youth soccer boom and nationwide 'soccer mom' phenomenon which has produced the players Major League Soccer relies on today.

	Marsh's head shaved
		BRADFORD, England (AP) -- Former soccer star Rodney Marsh was shaved bald Saturday in front of thousands of jeering Bradford fans, taking his punishment for wrongly predicting the Bantams would be relegated from the English Premier League.
		Marsh made a bold declaration late last season on Sky Sports television, where he works as a commentator, that he would shave his head if the struggling squad was not dropped to the first division.
		Marsh -- a talented and flamboyant striker for Queens Park Rangers, Fulham and Manchester City during the late 1960s and early 70s -- marched out onto the pitch of Valley Parade shortly before the Bantams' match against Leicestor.
