"Christopher Marsh (born 14 January 1970 in Dudley, West Midlands) is an English former professional footballer best known for his time playing in the Football League for Walsall. Career Marsh grew up in Sedgley and was a pupil at Queen Victoria Primary School and then Dormston School. He began his footballing career as a trainee with Walsall in 1986, joining the club on leaving school, and went on to make 470 appearances in thirteen seasons. He helped the club to promotion in 1995 and 1999. He played primarily as a fullback but, due to his versatility, played in virtually every position on the field for Walsall. In January 2001, feeling that he had gone stale, he requested a transfer and joined Wycombe Wanderers in March 2001 for a transfer fee of £30,000. After only six months at Wycombe, he joined Northampton Town for a fee of £10,000 on a two-year contract, saying, "It has been a strange experience for me. I went to Wycombe last March but they have changed their system and I have been a victim of that. Lawrie Sanchez said he wanted me to stay but [Northampton manager] Kevin Wilson was a big factor in my decision." He made 43 appearances for Northampton in two seasons that were interrupted by an Achilles problem that ruled him out for over three months in 2002. After Northampton were relegated at the end of the 2002–03 season, he was released by the club "Relegated Northampton have announced that nine players will not have their contracts renewed. Chris Marsh, Duncan Spedding, Richard Hope, John Frain, ..." "Released players Chris Marsh and Richard Hope will also start with Marco Gabbiadini on the bench. ..." and retired from the game.

"Mary Davys (1674?-1732) was a novelist and playwright. Early life She was born in Ireland: nothing is known about her childhood, including her birth name. Comments by Jonathan Swift, who was at Trinity College Dublin with her husband, suggest that she grew up in conditions of poverty and obscurity. She married Peter Davys, master of the free school of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and had two daughters both of whom seem to have died in infancy. Despite her lack of family connections she had a number of socially prominent friends, including Margaret Walker, daughter of Sir John Jeffreyson, judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland). After being widowed in 1698, she moved to London in 1700 in order to make a living. Writing career She published The Amours of Alcippus and Lucippe, with a dedication to Margaret Walker, in 1704, and "The Fugitive," dedicated to Esther Johnson (Swift's beloved friend "Stella") , in 1705. She claims in the Introduction to "The Works of Mrs. Davys" (1725) that she abandoned "The Amours" while in press to go north, probably to York. In 1716, she returned to London for the production of her play, The Northern Heiress, or the Humours of York, a comedy critical of the marriage market. Initially produced in York in 1715, it debuted at Lincoln's Inn Fields. The production ran for the three nights, giving her the receipts for the author's benefit night. She spent some more time in London, hoping to be a successful city writer; "Familiar Letters Betwixt a Gentleman and a Lady" was probably published at this time, although not published until "The Works" (1725). In about 1718 she abandoned that hope. The note "As it was to be performed at the Drury Lane Theatre" on the title page of "The Self-Rivals" indicates a disappointment. Instead she moved to Cambridge, where she established a coffee house. Her chief patrons were the students at St. John's College, Cambridge, whom she thanks in her prefaces for their help. In Cambridge, she turned to writing novels, for which she is best known. The Reform'd Coquet is a successful early example of the novel of education, and her Familiar Letters, an epistolary novel which satirised the upper classes and political affiliations, is an example of a successful epistolary novel before Samuel Richardson. Her writing is often direct, even blunt: for example, Sir John Galliard, the main character in The accomplish'd Rake, a debauched womanizer, is presented without euphemism. She was attacked in The Grub-Street Journal in 1731 for being "bawdy" but she "replied with vigour."Blain et al. 272 Later life She lived in Cambridge until her death after a period of ill health. Her response to the satirical letter in "The Grub Street Journal" refers to shaking hands and bad eyesight. She was buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Cambridge on July 5, 1732.
