John “Jack or Jock” Marshall is a former U.S.-Scottish soccer player. His professional career took him to several clubs in Scotland, England, Wales and the United States. He earned seven caps with Scotland and one with U.S. national team.

Professional career

Marshall signed with Scottish club St. Mirren. In November 1919, St. Mirren transferred Marshall to English club Middlesbrough for ₤2,000. In August 1923, Marshall signed with Welsh club Llanelli. He spent only a single season with Llanelli before moving to the United States to play for the Brooklyn Wanderers of the American Soccer League (ASL). While Marshall began the 1925-1926 season with Brooklyn, he moved to the Newark Skeeters after only two games. In 1927, he again began the season with Skeeters, before returning to the Wanderers after only four games. He then moved to Bethlehem Steel in August 1928.
