Marsh on his last Game for England
Your outspokenness has caused you grief in the past. Your England career, for example, was cut abruptly short ...
Yes, that's true. If you want proof all you have to do is read the last chapter of Alf Ramsey's biography, where he tells the story. Basically, before one match, he said to me "I'll be watching you for the first 45 minutes and if you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime." And I said, "Christ, we only get a cup of tea and oranges at Fulham!" And that's the last time I played for England.
