Line 39: ==Cricket career== Born in [[Chesterfield]], [[Derbyshire]], Marples was a ~~right~~[[wicket-~~handed~~keeper]] ~~batsman, a~~and right-~~arm~~handed ~~off-break bowler and a wicketkeeper~~batsman. Having represented the Derbyshire team in the Second XI as early as 1982, Marples made his debut County Championship appearance in 1985 against [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club\|Yorkshire]]. ~~Though he~~and 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.
