Peter Marshall

Age: 35

Born: Nottingham

Peter is one of the greatest squash players of all time. Having reached world number 2 behind the 10 times world champion Jansher Khan, Peter was tragically effected with chronic fatigue syndrome causing a 5 year absence from the game. He made a comeback in winning the Pakistan open and reaching the semi-finals of the world championships even though he had not completely recovered.

He is a recently qualified physiotherapist and is back playing competitively to a very high standard.

“I now wish to combine my physiotherapy skills and extensive squash knowledge to work with Hadrian and Alex in creating top players. I will be coaching in Bristol with Hadrian and his young-professional and junior elite members”

Career highlights

Peter is the only player who has won British Junior titles at all age-groups - from Under-12, U-14, U-16, to U-19.

He first became England's senior No.1 in November 1991, holding the position unchallenged for four years.

10 times world champion Jansher Khan said of Peter:
"Peter is very fit and never gives up - I know he is the biggest danger to me."
