OTHER INFO: James, a professional darts player who hails from Wales has not had a very illustrious career and has long retired from the game. He is a less known darts player and perhaps his only claims to fame as far as the game of darts is concerned include his being the runner-up in the British Darts Organisation World Championship of 1997 and his only significant title is the 1997 Welsh Open in his own country (additionally he has been a finalist in the year 1991 and quarter finalist in the year 1992).

In the BDO World Championship of 1997, the run began with a first round 3-1 victory over William Burksfield. Then James went on to take on Andy Fordham, who went on to be world champion in the future and who defeated him in the second round by three sets to one. Marshall then moved on to the finals with some important wins over the American, Roger Carter, and defending champion, Steve Beaton. Unfortunately, however, he could not sustain this winning streak for long and lost the finals to Englishman Les Wallace (popularly nicknamed as McDanger) by 6-3.

Only two more appearances of his were witnessed at Lakeside when he suffered losses in the first round at the hands of Richie Burnett in 1998 and in the second round by Steve Duke in 1999. Some said that after this painful loss, we escaped away to Cape Verde hotels for his quite holidays, ummm how poor he was!
