Francis Marshall known as Frank Marshall (1846/7 – 21 April 1906) was a British schoolmaster, cleric and rugby administrator.[2] A fierce advocate of amateurism in the early years of rugby football, his hardline position on payments to players contributed to the schism in the game in 1895 and the birth of the breakaway Rugby League.

Marshall, who opposed the introduction of so-called “broken-time payments”, made by clubs in northern England to compensate working men for wages lost while playing matches, has been described as the “witch-finder general, rooting out incipient professionalism”.[3]

Life

Born in West Bromwich, Marshall attended Brewood Grammar School before studying at St John's College, Cambridge.

The headmaster of Almondbury Grammar School, Huddersfield, (now St James’s Grammar School, Marshall believed rugby was a middle-class pastime. He burnished his reputation as “the man with bell, book and candle facing the evil spirit of professionalism”[4] by banning his own club, Huddersfield, in 1893 for breaching the amateur code.[5]

In literature

Marshall, the author of Football: The Rugby Union Game, first published in 1892, features as a central character in Broken Time,[6] a play by Mick Martin that had its premiere at the Theatre Royal, Wakefield in 2011.
