Playing career

Marsden was born in Sheffield and started his career with Sheffield United, going on to play for Huddersfield Town, Coventry City, Wolves, Notts County, Stockport County, Birmingham City, Southampton and Busan I'Park in South Korea.

He ended his career playing for Football League One club Sheffield Wednesday.

Marsden made 424 appearances in the Football League and scored 22 goals as a left footed midfield player and occasional defender. He first made an impression with Huddersfield Town in the early 1990s before successful spells at Stockport County and Birmingham City.

Southampton

Marsden played seven games in the Premiership for Coventry City in 1993 but did not play in the top flight again for a further six years (by which time he was 30) when he was brought to Southampton by then manager Dave Jones.

He captained Southampton in the 2003 FA Cup Final, which they lost 1–0 to Arsenal.

Sheffield Wednesday

After a short and unsuccessful spell at Busan I'Park, Marsden was snapped up on a free transfer by Chris Turner for Sheffield Wednesday. However, his career was cut short by a hamstring injury that forced him to retire.
