In March 2003 he joined Birmingham City for a nominal fee, as goalkeeping cover after Nico Vaesen suffered injured knee ligaments. He left at the end of the season after just one Premiership appearance, a 2–1 away defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. Seven minutes into his Blues debut, Marriott collected a tame delivery into the box and dropped the ball at his feet to clear. However, he failed to see behind him Robbie Keane, who stole the ball and rolled it into the net.

My favourite player and one of the most clinical strikers in recent years.
Was at the game last night, Keano is an absolute legend love him, was annoyed MON took him off so early should have given him 15 more minutes at least.
He's given me some great great memories over the years, was delighted when he signed for us and it's a real pity it didn't work out but he never got a fair crack at Liverpool IMO.
Only behind Roy Keane and just ahead of Duff in the list of Irish players I've seen regulary over the years.
A legend for his country but still under appreciated by a lot of fans in Ireland Keano
Will always remember his equaliser vs Chelsea in 2008. Was at the other end of the stadium but could see from there it was destined to go in.
Watching the Chelsea fans sat nearby sneaking out was hilarious.

Not sure if agree with that, I'm a season ticket holder for over a decade and barley missed a home game in that time, he has always been given a great reception and his name is sang more than any player bar Garry Breen

Well probably shouldn't have used the word fans but there's a LOT of people don't rate him highly enough. What he's achieved is phenomenal
My first footballing hero, feel like people still feel bitter over the Liverpool move but the service he provided for the club can never be in question
He soured it for me by facking off to Liverpool months after declaring he was here as long as we wanted him after winning the league cup. Left us properly in the sheet too after Berbatov also left, and we started horribly.
Good player, great on his day.

I was annoyed by that too, but he clearly had his head turned by Liverpool and, at that point, they were well ahead of us. They nearly won the league the season he was there for a half a year. So I can understand why he wanted to go - it was a definite step up at that point, while we were going backwards under Ramos. Declaring his undying love for us probably wasn't the best idea, but I think he was caught up in the emotion of it all and I do genuinely believe that the League Cup win meant a lot to him.
In fairness, too, he left before Berba, if my memory serves me right. It was Berba's sale that really left us in the sheet. It's one of those times when Levy's stubbornness and tough negotiating stance really got on my wick - it was clear that Keane and Berba both wanted to go, but he wanted to drag out the transfers for as long as possible and eke out every last penny from Liverpool and Utd. While he was wasting his time doing this, he had no time for adequate replacements - Pav, as good as he could be at times, was no Berba, and Frazier Campbell was no Keane. We had the surreal situation of Bent going from 4th choice to 1st choice striker almost overnight. No wonder, as you say, we started so poorly the next season. It was a complete mess, and Levy should take a fair bit of blame for that. I think he gets it right more than he gets it wrong, and he's a fine chairman, but moments like that really push the patience.

Berba was always going, was expected. I actually respect him because he made no secret of it.
Keane made his bed, he has to lie in it. Could have been a club legend. I remember him more for his awful second spell where his legs had gone, and I was wishing him gone every window, far more than his first spell now.

Being Irish I loved the man regardless of his departure for Liverpool
Great to see him score last night would love to see that cartwheel one more time.
Being Irish I also have fond memories of him. The goal against Kahn stands out the most in 2002 for Ireland. At the time I was annoyed he left us for the Scousers. Although looking back I can see why he done it. Great servant for both club and country. Legend in my eyes the pointy man was . Probably best memory for us was the game in 09 when he knocked in 4 against Burnley. He was unplayable that day. Think Crouch was benched to, and if memory serves me right he scored a hat trick the week before.
