Footscray procured ruckman Ivan Marsh locally from Braybrook and, after a grounding in the reserves, he made his senior debut in 1963. Although not especially tall at 185cm his impressive upper body strength enabled him to compete effectively in ruck contests. He retired as a player in 1967 after 77 VFL games and 33 goals in the famous tricoloured jumper.
