Harry "Nipper" Marsham (19 July 1890 – 31 December 1932) was a player for the Geelong Football Club and the Richmond Football Club in the VFL between 1909 and 1919.
Family
The son of Rebecca Josephine Kendall (1869–1936),[1][2] Henry Kendall,[3] later known as Henry Marsham, was born at Carlton, Victoria on 19 July 1890.
He married Olive Gertrude Elizabeth McQueen (1893–1950) (later Mrs. Albert Payor Rapkins)[4] in 1915.[5] Their son, Alan Robert Marsham (1920–1990), also played with Geelong in the VFL.
Football
- "Harry was a well-built ruckman and key-position player. He was a strong mark and although not blessed with pace he had the stamina to ruck all day."[6]
Geelong (VFL)
Recruited from the Chilwell Football Club in the Geelong District Football Association (GDFA), he played as a ruckman and forward for Geelong for seven seasons.
Richmond (VFL)
When Geelong were unable to compete in 1916 due to World War I, he crossed to Richmond, and played in 7 matches (including the Semi-Final against Carlton, at the MCG, on 19 August 1916), and scored 4 goals.[6]
Geelong (VFL)
Marsham returned to Geelong for the 1917 season and captained the club that year.[7] He retired at the end of the 1919 season.
Death
He died at his South Geelong residence on 31 December 1932.[8][9][10]
