Benji Marshall (born Benjamin Quentin Marshall; 25 February 1985 in Whakatane, New Zealand) is a professional rugby league footballer with the Wests Tigers of the National Rugby League (NRL). A goal-kicking five-eighth, he is the current captain of the New Zealand national team, with whom he won the 2008 World Cup and 2010 Four Nations tournaments. Marshall has spent his whole NRL career to date with the Tigers, winning the 2005 Telstra Premiership with them. He has been noted for his flamboyant attack, including sidesteps, no-look passes and flick-passes. In 2010 won the Golden Boot Award for the World's best player.

Marshall was raised without his biological father, but has spoken of the influence of his foster-father Michael Doherty, and other men within his extended family. He has said he had, "10 or 11 fathers … which is not a bad thing." He went to school at Whakatane Intermediate. The eldest of three brothers, he was offered a scholarship to play for a high school in the Gold Coast, Queensland when he was 16. While attending Keebra Park Secondary High School, Marshall played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 2003. He also represented Australia in touch football that year. Although eligible to represent Australia, Marshall declared his allegiance to the New Zealand Kiwis early in his career. In 2003 he was approached by the NZRL while he was playing with the Australian Schoolboys.

The Golden Boot is a family-run shoe shop located in Maidstone, Kent.

Established in 1790, it is The Oldest Independent Shoe shop in England. The company has been owned by the same family for six generations and today is run by a father and son team, Edward and Lawrence Martin. The shop has occupied three sites over its long history, the original site was at 36 Gabriels Hill. It moved opposite in 1845 and then following a disastrous fire, the shop had to be moved into newly built premises that it continues to run today.

It opened workshops in 1845 in Palace Yard where roughly 20 men were employed and actually made half the stock for the shop. A large Golden Wellington measuring over 6 ft was put up outside the shop in the late 19th century and remains there to this day. Since then The Golden Boot has seen many changes and now consists of three departments selling an extensive and unique range of Ladies, Men's and Children's shoes and leather goods.

It is also a gun shop.

The Golden Boot shoe shop is the proud winner of awards from Drapers Footwear for 2006 and 2010 and Family Footwear Retailer of the Year 2008. http://www.drapersfootwearawards.co.uk/ http://www.drapersfootwearawards.co.uk/prev-winner.htm
