Mike Marsh (born 21 July 1969) is a former footballer and coach, who came through the ranks at Liverpool and was part of their 1992 FA Cup-winning side. He was a first-team coach at Liverpool between 2011 and 2015, before joining Huddersfield Town as a coach in November 2015.
He left the Terriers in May 2016 to take up a coaching role in England national under-17 football team.
A midfield player or full back, he was spotted playing for his local side Kirkby Town by, then, Liverpool reserve team coach, Phil Thompson who advised manager Kenny Dalglish to sign the talented youngster, which he did on 21 August 1987. Marsh made his Liverpool debut on 1 March 1989 in the 2–0 win over Charlton Athletic at Anfield, when he came on as a 58th-minute substitute for Jan Mølby.
Marsh graduated from the reserves and established himself as a first-team regular in the 1991–92 season. His first goal also came during this season in one of the most memorable matches ever played at Anfield, on 6 November 1991 in a UEFA Cup 2nd round 2nd leg tie against Auxerre. The game saw Liverpool turn a 2–0 deficit from the first leg in France into a 3–2 aggregate win. Marsh's 29th-minute equaliser swung the game in Liverpool's favour.
Marsh was an unused substitute in the 1992 FA Cup Final where he picked up a winners medal as Liverpool beat Sunderland 2–0. He continued to be a regular squad member in 1992–93 and began the 1993–94 season in style with a great curled goal in a 5–0 win at Swindon Town, but Graeme Souness allowed him to leave within days of that goal when he joined West Ham United as a makeweight (along with David Burrows) in the deal that took Julian Dicks to Anfield. Marsh had appeared 101 times for Liverpool in which he scored six goals.
