Just seen him in Sheffield but did not get a chance to talk to him.
He could have been a top player if not for injuries.

Was a good player. Don't think he could of been a top player though.

Marples was a terrific player for us, was with us right through three different divisions. Is he still at Alfreton? They're doing well in the Conference right now.

We signed him from Stocksbridge by the way, not Bradford Park Avenue.

Thought he was out of his depth once we got into League One.

Good servant though.

Good player, bags of pace, played really well in Penneys system when fit.

I loved Marps, shame about his injury problems as I think we could have got a couple more seasons out of him.


Edit; And come to think of it, these are the sort of players I hope DRFC start to recruit again in future. Honest, hungry, un-polished diamonds.
