dbpprop:abstract
  • Christopher "Chris" Marples is a former English footballer and first-class cricketer. As a cricketer, Marples was a right-handed batsman, a right-arm off-break bowler and a wicketkeeper. Having represented the Derbyshire team in the Second XI as early as 1982, Marples made his debut County Championship appearance in 1985 against Yorkshire. Though he finished the game with four catches, he did not bowl for the side, playing throughout the game as a dedicated wicket-keeper. Marples was part of the Asda Challenge Trophy winning Derbyshire side of 1985, but did not compete in First-class cricket beyond 1986, having not been offered a new contract. However, he played extensively throughout the two seasons in which he was a first-team player, and, as a tailend batsman in the days of Danish mainstay Ole Mortensen, was unlucky to find himself out of action as a strike partner. Marples stayed on with the Second XI until 1987, and played one game for the side, an almost actionless three-day match, against Leicestershire, in 1993. He is currently assistant manager at Buxton F.C. in the Northern Premier League Division One. The club have just won promotion for the second successive season. In his playing days he was a goalkeeper and represented York City F.C. amongst other clubs.
