Ian Paul Marshall (born 20 March 1966) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker and defender from 1984 until 2002.
He notably played in the Premier League with Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers, as well as playing in the Football League for Everton, Oldham Athletic and Blackpool.
Marshall made his name playing as a defender and striker for Oldham Athletic but started his career as an apprentice with hometown club Everton. After four years he signed for Oldham for £200,000 and scored nearly 50 goals in almost 200 appearances before joining Ipswich Town in 1993 for £750,000.
At Portman Road he scored 38 times in just over 90 appearances, including five times in his first five games, a feat that has not been repeated since in the Premier League, before being sold to Leicester City for £800,000 in 1996. He played for the Foxes for four seasons, notching up 26 goals in 61 games. He left on a free transfer to Bolton. While at Leicester, Marshall was cup-tied for their victory in the 1997 Football League Cup Final but was part of the 2000 League Cup winning team, coming on as a substitute in the final. In April 1999 he also scored a memorable last minute winner against boyhood club Liverpool at Anfield.
