Marc Stephen John Bircham (born May 11, 1978 in Wembley) is a retired Canadian defensive midfielder footballer who plays for Yeovil Town. With a Canadian-born grandparent, Bircham qualified to play internationally for Canada. After a series of ankle injuries in the 2008-09 season it was revealed that Marc has quit football and is going to set up a youth coaching camp in Cyprus. [1]
International career
Bircham was capped by the Canada men's national soccer team in 1999. He is eligible to play for Canada, because one of his grandfathers was born in Winnipeg. This meant that he is the only player to have played for a country without actually vsiting it when his first cap - as well as his first and only goal - came against Northern Ireland in Belfast. He has won 17 caps for his adopted country.
Personal life
Birchams wife Jadene, took part in reality television series WAGs Boutique on ITV2. They have three children; boys Sonny and Frankie and a baby girl, Layla-Rose. They live in Hemel Hempstead.[citation needed] Bircham used to be known for his unusual hairstyle - a dyed blue and white streak down the centre of his hair from when he played for QPR[citation needed] and a red and white streak while playing for Canada.
