The Argyle Podcast | Episode 176

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.’

This is the story of Dwight Marshall.
