Marc Tierney

Celebrity bio

Marc is a popular defender at Norwich City Football Club.

He rose through the youth ranks at Oldham Athletic and in 2004 went to Carlisle United on loan for a three month spell.

In 2007, he was signed by Shrewsbury Town and was a regular in the side as they reached the League Two playoff final at Wembley. Tierney was sent off in the dying minutes of that game, interestingly, this made him only the second player ever to be sent off at the brand new stadium.  In spite of Shrewsbury's disappointing 2007–08 season, Tierney enjoyed excellent personal form. His consistently dependable performances earned him both the fans' and players' player of the year awards.

In November 2008 he joined Colchester United on an initial 5 week loan which was made permanent in the January transfer window.  

On 12 January 2011 he signed for The Canaries in the Champions League with the number 32 shirt.

In amazing form with Paul Lambert at the helm, in 2011, The Canaries were promoted into the Premier League. Marc celebrated in style and much to the fans delight, he joined in with the mass celebrations by doing numerous cartwheels on the pitch!

He repeated a similar celebration during a pre-season friendly against Real Zaragoza when two of the floodlights failed after a lightning strike to "entertain the fans"!

Tierney was given squad number 23 ahead of the 2011/12 Premier League season and started on the opening day of the season. He was the only player to start the first 6 games of the season, establishing himself as first choice left back.

Marc is affectionately known as "Mad Marc" by the Norwich fans!
