Bred A Blue: Episode 13. Cliff Marshall

As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, our latest Bred a Blue feature is with 1970s winger Cliff Marshall. Marshall came through the ranks to become the first black player to appear in the First Team when he made his debut at Goodison Park against Leicester City in 1975. He would only play eight times for Everton before moving across the Atlantic to sign for Miami Toros. In Bred a Blue, he speaks candidly about his life and his career. Hear about his Toxteth upbringing, the night he played a national schools semi-final after attending his mother’s funeral, sorting Christmas parties for the Everton First Team, playing against Pele in America, turning his back on football – and discover which celebrity A-lister is his cousin!
