Late to the game, but worth the wait.

Many people, by the age of 25, would have given up on the dream of becoming a professional footballer. And in fact, Dwight Marshall was also in that camp. Failed trials at Crystal Palace and Sheffield United meant he had started a career in the ‘real world.’ 

However, an invitation to Cornwall to play in a pre-season tournament for Plymouth Argyle changed his life. 

Manager David Kemp offered him a deal right there and then and he went on to become a leading light for Argyle for the next four years.

Dwight only played eight seasons as a professional but as any fan of Argyle, Middlesbrough and Luton Town about him and they will all speak in glowing terms.

This is the story of Dwight Marshall.
