Peter Marshall

Peter Marshall is a former professional squash player from England, born on 12 May 1971 and notable for his unique double-handed playing style, which he developed in childhood because of his small stature and the weight of racquets at the time. He won British junior titles in every age group, the British Open under-19 title in 1989 and the World Masters under-23 title in 1990, and was mentored by the six-time British champion Jonah Barrington. He was England number one from November 1991, unchallenged for four years, and reached a career-high World No. 2 in November 1994 behind Jansher Khan. He was runner-up to Jansher Khan at the World Open in 1994 and the British Open in 1995, won the British National Championship in 1992 and 1994, and won European team gold with England in 1990 and 1991. Glandular fever in 1995 sidelined him for two years and he was later diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.
