Windsor's spearhead of the end of the club’s domination of Queensland football, Ray Marshall was relatively small for a full forward, but he compensated with great pace and a strong mark. He developed a magnificent combination with Jim Trewick. He was leading goalkicker in 1950-1-2, with his 123 goals in 1951 the third highest in the post-World War II era. Essendon and Glenelg tried to attract him south but lack of employment opportunities kept him with the Eagles. He ended his career with Coorparoo. Ray Marshall played for Queensland in 1949-50.
