David Doyle
(Inducted October 2006)
A native of Dublin, Ireland, David Doyle arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1983 and by the time his four-year career ended, he ranked among the 25 most prolific goal scorers in NCAA Division I history. During his career, Doyle’s goal-scoring helped propel the Fighting Camels to Big South Conference Championships in 1984 and 1985 and a league runner-up finish in 1986. He finished his career with 72 goals in 75 matches.
As a senior in 1986, Doyle set a school record for goals and points scored in the Division I era by leading the nation with 34 goals and 74 points. He scored at least three goals in a match five times during that year, including a pair of five-goal outings, which stand as the program’s highest single-match output since the Camels moved to Division I in 1977.
Doyle was honored in 1986 with first-team All-South Region recognition. He also was named as Campbell’s first NCAA Division I men’s soccer All-American that year. He was twice named to the All-Big South Conference team and was recognized as Campbell’s Outstanding Male Athlete for the 1986-87 academic year.
Following his graduation in 1987, Doyle was selected in the first round (and third overall) by the Kansas City Comets in the Major Indoor Soccer League draft. Upon his retirement in 2004 at the conclusion of a 19-season career, Doyle ranked among the top 10 scorers in professional indoor soccer history.
Doyle was named Rookie of the Year of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1987 and was a 10-time All-Star and all-league selection. He was named MVP of the World Indoor Soccer League in 1999 and was MVP of the Continental Indoor Soccer League All-Star Game in 1996.

John Marshbanks
After leading Osborne High School to the 5-A state championship, Marietta, Ga., native John Marshbanks arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1965. By the time the 6-foot-8 center’s four-year career ended, he had scored more points in a career than any other Fighting Camel player. With 1,723 points in 105 games, Marshbanks still stands second on Campbell’s all-time basketball scoring list.
A four-year starter for Coaches Fred McCall and Danny Roberts, Marshbanks scored more than 400 points in each of his final three varsity seasons as the Camels became a power in the NAIA ranks.
During his junior year, Marshbanks set a senior college-era school record by scoring 46 points on Dec. 1, 1967 at Mars Hill. That mark has not been equaled in nearly four decades. In that game, he canned 17 field goals and added 12 free throws in the Camels’ 107-96 victory.
As a senior in 1968-69, Marshbanks led Campbell to its first 20-win season on the senior-college level. He graduated from Campbell with a Bachelor of Science degree in health and physical education, then earned his master’s from East Carolina, and teacher’s certification from North Carolina A&T.
While in graduate school at East Carolina, Marshbanks opened John’s Bicycle Shops in Greenville, then expanded with stores in Raleigh and Wilson. In 1978, John and his wife Cheryl (also a 1969 Campbell graduate) started Marshbanks, Inc., a national and international gift and accessories manufacturer and distributing company. The Marshbanks added Liberty Light Company in 1984. Those products were sold to 25,000 stores and 40 mail-order catalogs throughout nine countries.
In 1990, the Marshbanks retired to their cabin in the woods of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Boone, N.C., and John returned to his love for teaching, first at South Caldwell High School, then at Granite Falls Middle School. In 2000, the nationally-recognized Caldwell Count High School Career Center opened on the campus of Caldwell Community College with John teaching in the Furniture/Cabinet Making Technology program. He recently joined the faculty at Hudson Middle School to teach health.
Marshbanks continues to serve the children and families in the Boone region through education and as a lay minister in the Methodist Church. He and Cheryl are parents of two daughters and have one grandson.
