Robert Grant Marshall (1876 – c. 1931) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside-right, notably for Liverpool and Portsmouth.
Marshall started his career in his native Scotland with Leith Athletic. He left the club in 1897 to transfer to Liverpool, of the English First Division.[1] Marshall struggled to establish himself as a regular at the club and, in 1899, transferred to Portsmouth. He went on to make 131 appearances, scoring 19 goals[2] and helping the side win the Southern Football League in the 1901–1902 season.[1]
His brother, John, scored for Third Lanark in the 1889 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.[1]
