Club career

[edit]

Marshall started his career at local side Limonense, before moving to Puntarenas in 2007.[2] He joined Herediano on loan for the 2009 Verano season.[3]

In September 2009 he moved abroad to play for Danish Superliga club AaB.[4]

International career

Marshall made his debut for Costa Rica in a June 2009 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Overall, he earned a total of nineteen caps, scoring one goal. He represented his country in four FIFA World Cup qualification matches[5] and played at the 2009[6] and 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[7]

On 18 June 2011, five days before his death, Marshall played his last match for Costa Rica, a 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-final match against Honduras. The match saw Marshall scoring his sole goal for Costa Rica, which he dedicated to his fiancée, who died with him in the accident.[8]

Death

[edit]

On 23 June 2011, Marshall and his girlfriend Meilyn Arianna Masís Castro were traveling on the Braulio Carrillo highway in Costa Rica when they were involved in a fatal car accident 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of San José while on their way to Marshall's parents in Limón.[10] Marshall had scored the only goal for Costa Rica five days earlier in a match against Honduras in the quarterfinals of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[11][12]

His death was marked in several ways in his home country. The president of Costa Rica, Laura Chinchilla, went on national television and expressed her sympathy and a memorial ceremony was held in Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero, the stadium of Marshall's former club, CS Herediano.
