Chris Marsh: Walsall's promotion-winning legend suffers brain haemorrhage
Thoughts have gone out to Walsall football legend Chris Marsh after it was revealed he suffered a brain haemorrhage.

Marsh, who grew up in Sedgley, made well over 400 appearances for the club during his career.
Now 47, he joined Walsall as a trainee in 1986 and won promotion in 1995 and 1999 before leaving the Bescot Stadium in March 2001 – just two months shy of another promotion.
Although primarily a full-back, Marsh – who also turned out for Wycombe and Northampton – could play a number of positions and was known for his 'stepover'.
Walsall's official Twitter account wrote: "Club wish Saddlers legend & former @ntfc star Chris Marsh a speedy recovery after learning of pre Xmas brain haemorrhage #getwellsoon"
