Ken Marshall 2007
Occupation: Football Coach

Coach of the Erinsborough Dingoes football team, Ken Marshall was impressed when 16-year-old Bridget Parker joined the, usually all male, team for training. A recent arrival in Erinsborough, Bridget had been invited by team member Zeke Kinski, but Justin Hunter was unsettled by the female presence and told Zeke to get rid of her, despite Ken inviting her back for further training sessions. Bridget refused to be bullied and went along to a practice match, where Justin this time asked Ken to get rid of her, but was left embarrassed when Ken said that Bridget was already showing great promise and making most of the guys on the team look weak.

During her first game, Bridget was mortified when her mum, Miranda turned up. When Bridget was knocked to the ground in a rough tackle, Miranda ran onto the pitch and angrily told Ken that she would sue him if there was any permanent damage to her daughter. Later, Ken caught up with Karl Kennedy, a former doctor who'd smoothed over the situation with Miranda, telling her that Bridget was fine. Ken asked Karl to become the team doctor for the Erinsborough Dingoes, but Karl had to turn it down, insisting that his medical days were behind him.
