Marek Hamšík (born 27 July 1987) is a Slovak football midfielder who currently plays for Serie A club S.S.C. Napoli and captains the Slovakia national team.
Despite the fact that Hamšík grew up in Banská Bystrica, he never played for major local team Dukla Banská Bystrica. Instead he began playing for a small youth team Jupie Podlavice. In 2002, he signed with a major Slovak team Slovan Bratislava. He played once for the Slovan A-team and scored a goal.
He moved from Slovan to Brescia in 2004 as a 17 year old young talent at a transfer fee of €500,000. His first match in Serie A with Brescia was against Chievo Verona on 20 March 2005 when he was 17 years and 237 days old. Later in that season, Brescia finished 19th in the Serie A league and were relegated to the Serie B. In 2005–06, he played 24 league matches for Brescia in Serie B, with Brescia finishing tenth. He had an impressive 2006–07 season, scoring 10 goals in 40 matches.
On 28 June 2007 newly-promoted Serie A club Napoli announced that Hamšík had signed a five-year contract with them. The transfer cost Napoli €5.5 million. The president of the club De Laurentiis described him as a player who should be closely watched in the future.

Worry quite a lot 'cause I'm not feeling well
Friends have come to me, saying 'We can see
You need company' but I'm not lonely
I'm only
[Refrain:]
Homesick, I know just what's the matter
I'm homesick, that's all
I see that cozy little shack and the little red school
Daddy on the back of a funny old mule
'God Bless our Home' on the wall
The fields of clover
They seem to say
'Why don't you come over
Pay us a call'
I miss the cows and the chickens and the apple tree shady
And there's that little old lady
Do you wonder why I'm homesick
[2nd verse:]
My poor heart will stop when I hop off the train
Such a happy soul when I stroll down the lane
I can't wait till then to be there again
In the twilight when the sun is setting
I'm getting
