Anthony Marchi (21 January 1933 – 15 March 2022) was an English football player and manager.
Career
[edit]Marchi played for Tottenham Hotspur in the position of wing half from 1950 until 1965, which was broken up by a two-year spell in Italy with Vicenza and Torino, both on loan from Juventus.[1] During much of his career at Spurs, Marchi was mostly used as an understudy to Danny Blanchflower and Dave Mackay. However, in 1962–63 following injuries he established himself in the side and was a member of the 1963 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final winning team. He was one of seventeen players used by Spurs in their Double winning side of 1960–61.[2] He also later managed Cambridge City and Northampton Town.[3]
Marchi died at the age of 89 on 15 March 2022 in Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford.[4][1]
