Andrew John "Andy" Marshall (born 14 April 1975) is an English retired footballer. He was a goalkeeping coach at former club Aston Villa and was briefly their caretaker manager alongside Scott Marshall in 2015. He has previously played for the England Under-21s, Norwich City, Bournemouth, Gillingham, Ipswich Town, Millwall, Coventry City and Aston Villa.
Born in Bury, Greater Manchester, Marshall began his career as a trainee with Norwich City. He made his first successful team debut on 27 December 1994 as a substitute in an away match at Nottingham Forest, following an injury to first-choice goalkeeper Bryan Gunn. Gunn's injury kept him out of action for the rest of the season and Marshall played in the majority of City's remaining matches that season. They were relegated.
Gunn was re-instated as first choice goalkeeper at Carrow Road at the start of the following season, and Marshall had loan spells at Bournemouth and Gillingham to increase his first team experience. Gunn remained the first choice until the end of the 1996–97 campaign when he was dropped for the first time in his Norwich career. Marshall seized the opportunity to establish himself as Norwich's number one, and despite his inability to kick the ball straight from a goal kick (often the ball went out for a throw) he became an established player and a fairly popular figure and with the club's supporters during his time at Carrow Road. Marshall would go on to make 219 appearances for the Canaries.
The 2000–01 season was Marshall's best for Norwich and also his last. Marshall's form in goal was a crucial factor in the team avoiding relegation. The supporters recognised his contribution by voting him as their player of the season. However, Marshall's contract was due to expire in the summer of 2001 and he had refused to sign a new deal with the club citing that he wanted to play Premier League football having proved his capabilities.
