Great player ,great showman , remember him playing like it was yesterday . Just wish he would do more as a pundit .I really miss him on the radio especially .
Alec Stock was the manager for QPR then.He had formidable selection of players with Marsh,Les Allen & Mark Lazarus to name but a few.They would talk openly to the supporters during the game.Wonderful days & wonderful entertaining football.
I remember Marsh reminiscing about a time when Sir Alf Ramsey instructed him on an England game and during the first half, Ramsey told Marsh he'd have to pull him off at half time. Marsh replied "wow, we usually only get an orange at half time". Ramsey wasn't amused, according to Marsh😅
Looks like QPR got the best out of him, thank God. Without that push up the leagues in the late 60’s I dread to think where we’d be now. And that wining goal in the ‘67 cup final was magical 🙏
Rodney Marsh and Ron Harris were in the same Hackney schools side in the 50's. They were never close and I think it was because Harris was jealous of Rod's ability. How do I know? I was also in the same team. In defense of Rod's father, he was always a spectator at the games his son played in.
Remember him at QPR. He was a hero of the fans. When he left for Man. City , the fans were so enraged by his loss ,it was rumoured that the terraces would be burned to the ground in White City. It fortunately never happened. I had no idea what struggles and adversity he'd gone through before he even got there.
Marsh was a talented player , although he slowed up a Manchester City that were top league when he arrived , but went on to lose the league title to Liverpool season 1971-72 .
Was at my boys club Alexander boys club We had great fun So what he was outspoken not like the pundits of to day keep there mouths shut to keep there jobs Wish you well mate
Marsh was a skillful player, a maverick, an entertainer, but he wasn't a 'hard man' at all! I have no idea where you got that idea from? There were plenty of hard men in English football in that era, but Rodney Marsh was certainly not one of them!
Rodney was a ,legend in his own lunch time,looked great in the third division looked a fish out of water in the first with Man City and ruined that team, Allisons mate that's how he joined .Both of them cost City huge.
Couldn't agree more - fellow Blue-, Never rated him as class of any kind! When the Sky Sports Phone ins started, he thought of himself as a Galictico superstar, with his big head and on air antics. Big damp squib for me Reg. Phil 67.
Rodney marsh used to tour with George best,that's why Rodney marsh was skilful,he learnt it from George best,no other player were like these too,the best skilful players,even today George best was the best player in the world,even Pele said that.!
Rod did not learn it from the wonderful George .Long before they teamed up at Fulham, Rod was scoring and demonstrating his great talent at QPR,in particular, and Man City.
@Isleofskye rod toured round the country,with George he,s the only player I ever seem do same skills that George best did,no body else, so I think rod learnt from George.
He was a top player before he played alongside best at Fulham.. best is a legend but their best years were behind them in the mid 70s when they finally started playing together...
In March 1972 City were 6 points clear at the top of the league, in those days only 2 points for a win. Allison insisted on signing Marsh which completely disrupted the pattern of play that had put them clear at the top. They won only 4 of the last 9 games and finished 4th only 1 point off the top, even Rodney himself says his signing cost City the title. Great skill and a real maverick, but never a team player.
@@Isleofskye Might of lost something in translation. Apart from the fact, Rodney Marsh was a great footballer, a joy to watch. Pretty much the rest of the story is bullsh#t

Rodney didn’t need George best to teach him his skills he was a born natural
Yes that’s why he was in the third division with QPR
Alec Stock was the manager for QPR then.He had formidable selection of players with Marsh,Les Allen & Mark Lazarus to name but a few.They would talk openly to the supporters during the game.Wonderful days & wonderful entertaining football.
Rodney Marsh was a very skilful player for Queens Park Rangers for years and then was in the Fulham team with George Best.
I remember Marsh reminiscing about a time when Sir Alf Ramsey instructed him on an England game and during the first half, Ramsey told Marsh he'd have to pull him off at half time. Marsh replied "wow, we usually only get an orange at half time". Ramsey wasn't amused, according to Marsh😅
Great player unlike most of the robots these days

What a player....Like all amazing sportsmen he seemed to have difficulty in using his brain
I never knew about his childhood or deafness in one ear or the fact that in 1963 that he was told that he would never play again.
The deafness might explain why he rarely ever passed the ball to a teammate.🦁🦁
@@MarkBishop-rt3zl Bravo:)
Marsh a good Shakespearian footballer "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"
Marsh was a talented player , although he slowed up a Manchester City that were top league when he arrived , but went on to lose the league title to Liverpool season 1971-72 .
alistairn all the fault of Malcolm Allison for signing him with just a few games left.
Derby County won the title, look it up.
@@rogeredmunds5806 i for one never said that Derby County did not the title in 71/72.
On his day very few could touch him,I saw him score some amazing goals,but on a bad day he was bloody awful
Was at my boys club Alexander boys club
We had great fun
So what he was outspoken not like the pundits of to day keep there mouths shut to keep there jobs
Wish you well mate
7:57 *Manchester City
Not the kind of mistake you want to make if you’re ever in Miss Side, Longsight or Cheetham Hill
Or even " Not the kind of mistake you want to make if you’re ever in Miss Side" or MOSS Side...lol

weird video
Played for Fulham in 2 spells .
Rod is god

Why~?
Serves him right. A nasty and despicable thing to say

Rubbish, Marsh was an outstanding player, he had more close control ball skills than Best.
@@newdawn3 That's my opinion mate; your entitled to your own!
@@PhilipAlversyou nailed him , to rate him you would have to be related to him, he was never a team man it’s was just me,me,me . Go well ph BBC

@@colinhill4963 Fair Enough Volin. Maybe,George learned from Rod:)
@@colinhill4963nonsense, Rodney was a maverick at Fulham and City long before him a George became even friends.

The images of the story are out of time & synchronicity Rodney Marsh was a hero at Manchester City where he played his best football. 😂
In March 1972 City were 6 points clear at the top of the league, in those days only 2 points for a win. Allison insisted on signing Marsh which completely disrupted the pattern of play that had put them clear at the top. They won only 4 of the last 9 games and finished 4th only 1 point off the top, even Rodney himself says his signing cost City the title. Great skill and a real maverick, but never a team player.
Wow, if only it was true.
What was true?
