James Marshall (13 March 1941, Sheffield - 27 May 2004) was a British Labour Party politician.

Jim Marshall (born December 30, 1937 Danville, Kentucky) played college football at Ohio State University. He left school before his senior year, and played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. He was then drafted in the 4th round of the 1960 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Marshall played the 1960 season with the Browns. He played from 1961 to 1979 with the Minnesota Vikings. He played in and started 282 consecutive games, a record since surpassed by Jeff Feagles. It still stands as a record for consecutive starts.

He played in Pro Bowls after the 1968 and 1969 NFL seasons. He recovered 29 fumbles, an NFL record. He was a member of the Vikings' famous "Purple People Eaters", and was the final player from Minnesota's initial expansion team of 1961 to retire. The VIkings credit Marshall with 127 career quarterback sacks, second most in Viking History behind Carl Eller.

Marshall was involved in an embarrassing professional moment on October 25, 1964. In a game against the San Francisco 49ers, Marshall recovered a fumble, but ran 66 yards with it the wrong way, into his own end zone. Thinking that he had scored a touchdown for the Vikings, Marshall then threw the ball away in celebration. The ball landed out of bounds, resulting in a safety for the 49ers. Fortunately for Marshall, his Vikings won the game 27-22, in part because of a key sack and fumble he forced after his miscue. Marshall later received a telephone call from Roy Riegels, who had run the wrong way for a safety in the 1929 Rose Bowl that his University of California team lost, 8-7.

Rufus James Marshall (born May 25, 1931, in Danville, Illinois) is a former first baseman and manager in American Major League Baseball. Marshall managed the Chicago Cubs (1974-76) and the Oakland Athletics (1979) but never enjoyed a winning season in either post. His career major league managing record was 229-326 (.413) and his '79 A's squad lost 108 of 162 games (.333).

Marshall attended Long Beach State University. A lefthanded hitter and thrower, he was a productive hitter in his minor league days in the Pacific Coast League of the 1950s, leading the PCL in home runs (31) and runs batted in (123) as a member of the 1954 Oakland Oaks.

His major league playing career was distinguished by two circumstances: he was part of the first interleague trade (without waivers) in baseball history when he was dealt by the Cubs to the Boston Red Sox on November 21, 1959, and he was the starting first baseman in the first National League game ever played by the "Amazin'" New York Mets in 1962.

Overall, Marshall appeared in 410 games over five seasons (1958-62) and batted .242 with 29 home runs. In addition to the Cubs and Mets, he played for the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates. He never appeared in an official game for the Red Sox, who traded him to the Giants for pitcher Al Worthington during spring training in 1960.

Marshall played baseball in Japan (with the Chunichi Dragons) from 1963-67 and was a successful minor league manager during the 1970s and 1980s. He is currently a scout for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

James (Jim) Marshall, OBE (29 July 1923) known as The Father Of Loud, is a pioneer of guitar amplification. His company, Marshall Amplification continues to produce amplifiers with an iconic status.

From 1960, Marshall owned a moderately successful music store in Hanwell and was known to supplement this income by teaching drums. His many guitar playing customers (including Ritchie Blackmore, Jim Sullivan and Pete Townshend) spoke of the need for a particular kind of amplifier and Marshall saw the opportunity. He recruited an 18-year-old electronics apprentice, Dudley Craven, who was previously working for EMI and, with his help, began producing prototype amplifiers, resulting in the foundation of Marshall Amplification, in 1962.

Jim also played the drums.

"I was making 10 shillings a night and because it was wartime, we didn't have any petrol for cars, so I would ride my bicycle with a trailer behind it to carry my drum kit and the PA cabinets which I had made! I then left the orchestra to be with a 7 piece band and in 1942 the drummer leader was called into the forces and I took over on drums."

In order to become even more proficient on the drums, in 1946 Marshall began taking weekly lessons from Max Abrams in order to better emulate his idol, Gene Krupa. this continued for two years. In 1949 Jim started teaching other drummers, including Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix), Micky Burt (Chas and Dave), Micky Waller (Little Richard) and Micky Underwood (Ritchie Blackmore).

"I used to teach about 65 pupils a week and what with playing as well, I was earning in the early 1950's somewhere in the region of £5,000 a year, which was how I first saved money to go into business."

In 1984 Marshall was awarded the "Queens Award for Export", an honour bestowed by the Queen of England in recognition of Marshall Amplification's outstanding export achievement over a three year period.
