David James Marshall (born March 5, 1985 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a professional footballer currently playing for Norwich City. He is a goalkeeper and is also a Scotland international. Marshall, a product of Celtic's youth academy, made one of his first starts for Celtic on 25 March 2004 in a fourth round, second leg UEFA Cup tie against Spanish giants FC Barcelona at the Nou Camp. The 19-year-old, deputising for a suspended Rab Douglas, put in an excellent performance to keep a clean sheet to help Celtic into the next round (1-0 on aggregate) after a home win and he then went on to save a penalty from Barcelona's Ronaldinho the following season. However his Celtic career took a downward turn under Gordon Strachan's management. In the first two games under Strachan he conceded 9 goals, 5 to Artmedia Bratislava and 4 to Motherwell. With the signing of Artur Boruc, Marshall was consigned to the bench and remained there for the following 18 months before being sent on loan to Norwich City. After his debut against Blackpool, Norwich manager Peter Grant said this of his new loan signing: "David Marshall made some great saves and he's a good goalkeeper. That's why I've been chasing him for about three months. "I'm pleased to get him and he did exceptionally well." He was sidelined for the remainder of the 2006-7 season due to an injury sustained in the FA Cup 4th round tie with Chelsea after falling awkwardly on his ankle, and returned to Celtic. On July 4 2007, after much speculation in the press, Marshall finally signed a three-year contract with Norwich City, with the transfer fee believed to be close to £1,000,000. Marshall impressed in his pre-season appearances for the club, performing well against Vitesse Arnhem and West Ham in particular.
